The below-knee anti-embolism socks from the German company Medi with 18mmHg compression are an ideal choice for the prevention of thrombosis & embolic events. 

They are intended for patients in the preoperative – postoperative phase & bedridden for an extended period.

Immobility, prolonged sitting & standing are factors that burden blood circulation, resulting in blood pooling in the lower limbs.

The anti-thrombosis socks achieve a gradual reduction of applied pressure from the ankle to the upper part of the calf with a constant compression of 18mmHg, helping in the venous return of blood.

Indications:

• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) for the treatment of edema symptoms, to prevent or manage manifestations of post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS)
