TED (Thrombo-Embolic Deterrent) stockings are also known as Anti Embolism Stockings. Designed for post-surgical, reclining or bed-confined patients, anti-embolism stockings help manage symptoms associated with chronic venous insufficiency and prevent thrombo-embolic disease. Embolism stockings increase venous blood flow velocity and reduce the possibility of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and its frequent sequel, pulmonary embolism (PE) in non-mobile patients. These stockings are recommended for individuals undergoing surgical operations that require prolonged confinement to bed, especially in bedridden, elderly, neurological or poly-traumatized patients.
