Covidien T.E.D. Anti-Embolism Stockings-Thigh Length-Large 3856LF

Covidien T.E.D. Anti-Embolism Stockings-Thigh Length-Large 3856LF Per Case

Thigh Length T.E.D. anti-embolism stockings are available in five sizes and three lengths, fitting a thigh circumference of up to 36".

T.E.D. anti-embolism stockings are clinically proven to reduce DVT up to 50%(1) and to promote increased blood flow velocity in the legs 138%(2) of baseline by compression of the deep venous system.

Prevents the damaging effects of venous distension that occurs during surgery and hospitalization.(3)
