LIPOTHROMBO
​
LIPOTHROMBO stockings are designed to apply pressure on your lower legs, helping to maintain blood flow and reduce discomfort and swelling. Your doctor may feel you could benefit from wearing them as patients are usually less able to move during longer stays in hospital, which puts them in risk of developing blood clots. LIPOTHROMBO stockings have graduated compression, that gently squeezes your legs and feet to increase blood flow. The highest pressure is applied to the area above the ankle and it is reduced in the direction up to the knee to help with the blood flow. Increasing the blood flow reduces the risk of clot formation.
