An elastomer system in T.E.D. Stockings is specifically designed to speed blood flow by providing graduated compression with the most compression at the ankle and gradually diminishing pressure up the calf.
These stockings are manufactured under the most rigid quality control inspections to assure the precise pressure necessary to discourage thrombus formations.


Fitting T.E.D. Stockings:
Measure calf circumference at the greatest portion to determine size.
Measure distance from bend of knee to bottom of heel to determine length. - If possible, measure length in standing position.
Wear Instructions:
Insert hand into stocking as far as the heel pocket. Grasp center of heel pocket and turn stocking inside out.
Carefully position stocking over foot and heel. Center heel in heel pocket.
Pull stocking up and around ankle and calf, working up to the final position. Top of stocking should be 1 to 2 inches below bottom of knee cap. Smooth out any excess material.
Care Instructions:
To preserve life of stockings, launder every three days. Keep the stockings free from substances such as ointments, oils and lanolin which deteriorate elastic. Wash in water temperatures not to exceed 160 degrees F - 71 degrees C. Avoid excessive bleach. Dry in temperatures not to exceed 250 degrees F - 121 degrees C - for no longer than 20 minutes. Remove from dryer promptly. Prolonged heat can reduce the stocking's wear life.
