Their primary purpose is to reduce the risk of blood clots (Deep Vein Thrombosis - DVT) by promoting healthy circulation in the legs through graduated compression.
Graduated compression means the stockings apply the most pressure at the ankle (18mmHg) and gradually decrease the pressure further up the leg (14mmHg at the calf, 8mmHg at the thigh). This helps to push blood upwards towards the heart.
You should measure your ankle, calf, and thigh circumference, as well as your leg length, and compare these measurements to the Saphena sizing guide provided by the manufacturer.
These stockings are designed for extended wear. However, it is best to follow the specific advice of your healthcare provider regarding duration of wear and removal for hygiene or skin checks.
Yes, they are often recommended for long journeys (flights, car rides) where prolonged sitting can increase the risk of blood clots.
It is recommended to wash them daily after use to maintain hygiene and the elasticity of the fabric. Follow the care instructions for machine washing.
The anti-slip sole provides enhanced grip on smooth surfaces, significantly reducing the risk of slipping and falls, which is particularly important for patients with mobility issues.
Yes, the Saphena Anti-Embolism Thigh High Stockings are classified as a Class 1 Medical Device, indicating they meet specific regulatory standards for safety and performance.
Ensure you have selected the correct size according to the manufacturer's sizing chart. Re-apply the stocking, smoothing out all wrinkles and ensuring the heel is properly positioned. If discomfort persists, consult your healthcare provider.
Verify that the anti-slip grip band at the top is clean and positioned correctly on the leg. Ensure the stocking is applied smoothly without folds. If the issue persists, the size may be incorrect, or the stocking may be worn out.
Remove the stockings immediately and consult a healthcare professional. Ensure the skin is clean and dry before application. Wash the stockings regularly to maintain hygiene.
Ensure the stockings are rolled down correctly before application. Applying lotion to dry skin can sometimes help, but ensure the skin is not wet when applying. Consider using a donning aid if recommended by your healthcare provider.
