T.E.D.™ Antiembolism Stockings - Latex Free

T.E.D. Stockings

If proven efficacy in an anti-embolism stocking is important to you, be aware that not all stockings are the same. Only the T.E.D™. Anti-Embolism Stocking has been clinically proven to prevent DVT in over 14,000 patients.

T.E.D.™ Antiembolism Stockings

 

 

The new T.E.D.* unique silicone coated thigh band

To further improve our highest quality T.E.D.™ Anti-Embolism Stockings, we have developed a flexible film that is wider and thinner than most other available coatings, spreading the forces over a greater area and therefore maximising the performance and comfort of the product. When a product has to stay in place like the T.E.D.™ Anti-Embolism Stockings, the use of a flexible thin silicone elastomeric is an ideal way to provide the non-slip properties that are necessary. The T.E.D.™ silicone coating is comfortable against the skin whilst ensuring the stockings stay in place.
