Stocking Anti-Embolism Thigh Xl-Short (New Preventex)12 Pair

Preventex is a range of anti-embolism stockings specifically designed to reduce the risk of developing a blood clot or deep venous thrombosis caused by the slowing of the blood due to surgery or a prolonged period in bed.
Composition and Properties

Preventex is composed of Polyamide and elastane and is available in a range of sizes, knee-length, thigh-length and thigh length with belt to accommodate the different patient morphologies.

It has recently been improved and has a range of features and properties to ensure correct fitting and patient comfort.

A breathable silicon band on the thigh-length stockings for comfort and to maintain correct positioning
A 2-way stretch gusset to prevent a tourniquet effect and enhance patient comfort
An inspection opening under toes to provide easy access for the clinician
Anatomically designed heel to maintain the correct compression at the ankle and enhance patient comfort
Permanent size indicator sewn into the feet of both stockings for ease of identification

Preventex is now softer than before with a wider ankle to allow for easy application and fitting

Anti-embolism stockings work by providing graduated compression to the leg which increases the linear velocity of venous blood flow, reduces venous wall distension and improves valvular function
