Product Information

Full details

Medalin Anti-Embolism Stockings are designed for adults seeking to reduce the risk of blood clots and enhance leg comfort, particularly during prolonged periods of inactivity. The key benefit is their graduated compression, which promotes healthy circulation by returning blood to the heart. A potential consideration is the specific sizing and color options available. These stockings offer a comfortable and safe solution for post-operative recovery, DVT prevention, or daily wear for individuals with sedentary lifestyles.

FAQs

What is the primary purpose of these stockings?

The primary purpose is to reduce the risk of blood clots (DVT) and enhance circulation by applying graduated compression to the legs.

What does 18mmHg compression mean?

18mmHg refers to the pressure exerted by the stocking at the ankle, which is the highest point of compression. This pressure gradually decreases up the leg.

How often should I wear these stockings?

Wear them as recommended by your healthcare provider. They are often recommended for periods of prolonged sitting, standing, or immobility, such as during travel or post-surgery.

Can I wear these stockings overnight?

Generally, anti-embolism stockings are designed for wear while awake and active, or when advised by a medical professional. Consult your doctor for specific overnight use recommendations.

How do I determine the right size?

Refer to the product's sizing chart, which typically provides measurements for ankle circumference, calf circumference, and leg length. Measure your leg accurately before purchasing.

Are these suitable for medical compression therapy?

These stockings provide graduated compression compliant with medical device directives, suitable for preventing DVT and improving circulation in specific situations. For therapeutic compression for conditions like varicose veins or lymphedema, consult your doctor for a specific class of compression stocking.

What is the material composition?

The stockings are made from 85% nylon and 15% elastane, providing a balance of durability, stretch, and breathability.

Troubleshooting

Stockings feel too tight or too loose.

Ensure you have selected the correct size by measuring your leg according to the product's sizing guide. A proper fit is crucial for effectiveness and comfort.

Skin irritation or discomfort.

Make sure the stockings are clean and free from detergent residue. Ensure the material is not bunching or folding. If irritation persists, consult your healthcare provider.

Grip sole is less effective.

Check that the grip sole is clean and free from debris. The effectiveness may be reduced on very wet or highly textured surfaces.

Compression feels inconsistent.

Verify that the stockings are pulled up correctly and smoothly, without wrinkles or folds, especially around the ankle and calf. Ensure they are the correct size.
