BENEFITS
- Prevents Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT): Compression helps prevent dangerous blood clots from forming in bedridden or post-surgical patients.
- Enhances Circulation: Encourages healthy blood flow from the legs to the heart, reducing venous stasis and pooling of blood.
- Improves Post-Surgical Recovery: Supports faster healing by minimizing swelling and pain after surgery or during immobility.
- Comfortable for Extended Wear: Soft, stretchable, and non-irritating materials allow users to wear them for long durations without discomfort.
- Reduces Swelling & Fatigue: Helps decrease lower limb swelling and fatigue, making it easier for patients to feel comfortable during prolonged inactivity.
USAGE GUIDELINES
- When to Wear: Wear during periods of inactivity, such as bed rest, post-operative recovery, or long-term immobilization as directed by a physician.
- How to Wear: Gently insert the foot, align the heel properly with the patch, and gradually pull up the stocking without twisting or folding to maintain proper compression flow.
- Duration of Use: Depending on medical advice, stockings can be worn during the day, overnight, or continuously as needed for therapeutic effectiveness.
- Fit Monitoring: Ensure stockings fit snugly but not tightly. Watch for signs like red marks, discomfort, or numbness, and adjust as needed.
- Medical Supervision: Always consult your healthcare provider for personalized use, especially if you have diabetes, arterial disease, or severe leg swelling.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
- Washing: Hand wash with cold or lukewarm water using mild detergent. Avoid bleach or fabric softeners as they degrade elasticity and materials.
- Drying: Gently press excess water with a towel and lay flat to air dry. Do not wring, twist, or place near direct heat sources like radiators or dryers.
- Storage: Store in a clean, dry place, folded flat to preserve shape and avoid overstretching the compression zones.
- Replacement: Replace stockings every 3–6 months or sooner if you notice reduced compression, fabric thinning, or stretching.
- Rotation Tip: Keep at least two pairs in rotation to maintain hygiene and extend the lifespan of each stocking.
