Who are FITLEGS Grip Anti-Embolism Below Knee Compression Socks for?
The Compression Socks should fit any size leg covered in the Size Guide above, regardless of gender. They should be used right after a hospital stay when the wearer has significantly reduced mobility, which can cause circulation issues. They are specially made for people in this position who are at risk of the following conditions:
- Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)
- Embolisms
- Blood clots
What Level of Compression Do FITLEGS AES Grip Compression Stockings Offer?
These FITLEGS Compression Socks offer a compression level of 18mmHg. This stands for "millimetre of mercury measurement", which refers to the amount of pressure required to exert one degree of pressured force. It is a particularly important measurement for those with blood pressure issues and is important to keep in mind before buying.
How Do the FITLEGS AES Grip Socks Help Avoid Falls?
These stockings are made with a silicone grip sole to keep you stable and on your feet, even when your legs are feeling fragile. This makes them ideally suited to users at risk of falls, such as the elderly or people with mobility impairments. The grip is also made to stop before the heal, in order to void causing pressure sores.
