Description

Thrombexin® 18 Anti-Embolism Stockings are expertly designed medical compression stockings aimed at reducing the risk of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism. These stockings are particularly beneficial for immobile patients during pre-, intra-, and post-operative periods, providing effective physical thrombosis prophylaxis.

Key Features

• Graduated Compression: Offers a pressure profile of 13-18 mmHg at the ankle, ensuring effective support from ankle to knee or thigh.
• Two-Way Stretch Material: Enhances comfort and fitting ease, complemented by color-coded sizing indicators for accurate selection.
• Slip-Proof Silicone Top Band: Available in thigh-length stockings to prevent roll down, ensuring secure placement.
• Inspection Opening: Located on the sole for easy circulation checks and toe monitoring.
• Anti-Bacterial Thread: Incorporated in the toe area to minimize infection risk.

Comfort and Durability

Crafted from 82% polyamide and 18% elastane, these latex-free stockings offer high breathability and moisture management. The fleecy lined soft heel reduces pressure and prevents maceration, while the material’s durability ensures long-lasting performance. Suitable for continuous wear, they are recommended to be changed every 2-3 days and can withstand at least 20 washes.

Sizing and Fit

Available in a comprehensive range of sizes, including options for extra width and waist attachment, these stockings cater to various leg lengths and widths without the need for precise measurements. The left-right leg distinction enhances fit, and the color-coded system simplifies size selection.

Care Instructions

Hand or gentle machine washing is advised to maintain the stockings' integrity. Proper fitting is crucial, with recommendations to avoid folding or twisting the bands to ensure optimal performance.

Usage Recommendations

These stockings should be worn under medical guidance, especially for individuals with specific conditions such as advanced peripheral arterial occlusive disease or decompensated heart failure. Clinically proven to reduce DVT risk, they comply with European prestandard ENV 12719 for medical compression stockings, making them a reliable choice for patient care in hospitals and aged care facilities.
