Medalin Anti Embolism Stockings - White

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.
