Compression Stockings Designed to Support Circulation During Limited Mobility
Anti-embolism socks from Dr. Comfort are medical-grade compression stockings developed for individuals with limited mobility, including those who are immobile, recovering post-surgery, or spending long periods inactive. These anti-embolism stockings are commonly used in healthcare settings to help prevent blood clot formation by promoting healthy blood flow in the legs. Using graduated compression, the stocking applies the tightest pressure at the ankle, then gently decreases pressure through the calf, knee, or thigh, helping support circulation and reduce the risk of developing complications such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or a clot in the leg that may travel to the lung and lead to a pulmonary embolism.
Available in knee-high, knee-length stockings, and thigh-high options, these graduated compression stockings are offered in closed-toe and open-toe designs to accommodate different medical needs, footwear, and personal preferences. The 18 mmHg compression (18mmHg) level delivers mild, gentle support suitable for post-surgical, pregnancy, or inactivity-related use, without blocking blood or causing unnecessary discomfort.
Unisex Anti-Embolism Stockings & Socks: Medical-Grade Fit, Sizing, and Everyday Practicality
Dr. Comfort support stockings are designed to apply graduated pressure that may help improve circulation, decrease swelling, and support blood vessels in people with certain conditions such as edema, lymphedema, or varicose veins. Proper size, length, heel placement, and range of fit are essential, as healthcare professionals may recommend TED hose, TED stockings, or knee-high stockings based on a person’s risk of blood clots, overall health problems, or following surgical procedures.
These unisex, medical-grade stockings are built for consistent wear in healthcare environments and at home, helping support mobility while reducing the risk of blood clot formation during recovery. When used as directed and as a provider may recommend, anti-embolism socks can play an important role in helping reduce the risk of serious complications associated with blood clot formation, especially post surgery or during extended immobility.
