T.E.D. stockings are one of the most clinically proven graduated pressure pattern technology used world wide, which applies pressures of; 18mmHg at the ankle, 14mmHg at the calf and 8mmHg around the knee.

T.E.D. are used through out the NHS by clinicians and hospital centres across the world. T.E.D. are clinically proven to reduce blood clots (DVT and PE), to increase blood flow velocity in the legs and to prevent the damaging effects of venous pooling during your travels.

It is really important to measure you leg correctly with a measuring tape to assure that the appropriate pressure pattern is applied. Try our Measure to Fit® online software calculator, which helps fit users with their appropriate sox size, which is essential for anti-VTE functionality. See our brief video tutorial under icon "how it works" for more details.

Measurements to determine your correct SKU:

1. Measure the circumference of your calf at its greatest thickness.

2. Measure length from the crease behind the knee to the base of the heel.

The T.E.D. Continued Care range is an extension outside of hospitals for the duration of your long-haul travel where you find yourself not moving for more than 3 hours. Research shows us that there is high‐certainty evidence that airline passengers can expect a substantial reduction in the incidence of symptomless DVT and low‐certainty evidence that leg oedema is reduced if they wear compression stockings.
