The Difference Between Anti-Embolism and Graduated Compression

Choosing Between

Anti-Embolism & Compression Stockings

The Difference Between Anti-Embolism & Graduated Compression

Anti-Embolism Stockings:
Anti embolism stockings are designed specifically for non-mobile patients or those confined to a bed. They are low-cost temporary solutions commonly used for patients in nursing homes and post-surgical to prevent DVT or Deep Vein Thrombosis.

Ted stockings, in appearance are white and the compression is not graduated. They are the same compression throughout the length of the garment and offer minimal compression 8-18 mmHg (millimeters of mercury).

Graduated Compression Stockings:
Are medically therapeutic and designed for people who are mobile. They offer graduated compression, starting at the ankle and decreasing proximally. Compression levels range up to 50+ mmHg. Greater compression is often necessary due to the increased effects of gravity on the circulatory system in a mobile patient. Compression stockings are designed for every lifestyle to be aesthetically appealing, easy to put on and most importantly, comfortable to wear.
