dvt sleeves
Pressure stockings, or dvt sleeves, are a specialist garment designed to prevent deep vein thrombosis (dvt), where blood clots lodge in the deep veins particularly in lower limb. These sleeves are tightest on the ankle, and decrease in pressure as they continue upward over your leg. This type of compression promotes more effective blood circulation and reduces the risk of clot formation. By making use of state-of-the-art fabric technology, these sleeves are composed entirely from moisture-wicking and breathable materials guaranteeing comfort. They have several important functions, such as promoting the flow of venous return back towards heart; reducing oedema; and particularly nowadays - preventing dvt during long periods spent still or travelling. Their range of use is extensive, from recovery after surgery to boosting athletic performances and also as a preventive measure in at-risk groups of people for developing dvt.
