T.E.D.™ Closed Toe Anti-Embolism Stockings - Knee Length All Colors

T.E.D. anti-embolism stockings are prescribed for the recuperating patient to avoid the danger of thromboembolic disease (blood clots which frequently form in the leg and break free to travel to the lungs to occlude the pulmonary arteries.) The probability of fatal pulmonary embolism can be lessened through the use of T.E.D. stockings. The risk of DVT can extend up to 6 weeks after hospitalization. T.E.D. anti-embolism stockings are the only anti-embolism stockings clinically proven to prevent VTE in over 20,000 patients studied.
