Have you heard about TED Stockings? I found out that this is the stocking of choice if one needs a very effective anti-embolism stocking. As you very well know, “embolism occurs when an object (the embolus, plural emboli) migrates from one part of the body (through circulation) and causes a blockage (occlusion) of a blood vessel in another part of the body.” That is the very definition according to Wikipedia.
That’s why, it is very important to note that not all stockings are created equal, meaning they are not all the same. T.E.D anti-embolism stockings has been proven effective clinically among 14,000 patients in preventing DVT. I’m sure, not a lot of stocking brand can claim that and deliver such claim. It is always a good thing to apply an ounce of prevention than a pound of cure. And that should be especially true and applied, so that the risk of developing blood clots after hospitalization will erase the risk of pulmonary embolism during recovery.
