Clinically-Proven Pressure Pattern of Kendall TED Stockings
Medtronic Covidien TED Anti-Embolism Stockings are clinically proven to reduce the incidence of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) up to 50% and to promote the increased blood flow velocity in legs 138% of baseline by compression of the deep venous system. They are also clinically proven to prevent the damaging effects of venous distension that occur during surgery and hospitalization.
TED Anti-Embolism Stockings apply the clinically-proven graduated pressure pattern of 18mmHg at ankle, 14mmHg at calf, 8mmHg at popliteal, 10mmHg at lower thigh and 8mmHg at upper thigh. It is important to measure the leg size of patient to assure that the appropriate pressure pattern is applied.
When to use Covidien TED Stockings?
- To help prevent formation of Deep Vein Thrombosis
- To promote increased blood flow velocity in legs by compression of the deep venous system

More Information
- About TED stockings:
TED anti-embolism stockings are designed to speed blood flow with graduated compression but are different from support stockings or compression hose. They are used for non-ambulatory convalescing persons to prevent blood clots. These stockings are made of nylon.
- Benefits:
- Promote comfortable fit without the constriction caused by harsh seams and ridges
- Provide easy access for medical examination
- Protect critical popliteal area and promotes free leg movement
- Easily adjustable, minimize slippage
- Reduce DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis) incidence by 50% which has been proved in a wide variety of medical/surgical specialities
- Significantly reduce venous distention to combat clot formation
- Increase blood flow in femoral vein by 38%
- Prevent tourniquet effect with an interrupted band and functional two- ply panel
- Protect patients after discharge
- Help ensure uninterrupted baseline protection whatever the patient;s level of risk or when pneumatic/impulse compression is interrupted
- 100% latex-free
- A clinically proven pressure pattern of 18mmHg at the ankle, 14mmHg at the calf, 8mmHg at the knee, 10mmHg at the mid-thigh, 8mmHg at the upper thigh increases blood flow velocity 138% and reduces venous distension
- Inlay circumferential knit with one-way stretch delivers the clinically proven pressure pattern to the appropriate areas
- A pressure break at the popliteal vein ensures that blood will continue to flow smoothly through this critical area, prevent a tourniquet effect at the femoral vein
How to use Open Toe TED Stockings?
1. Insert hand into the stocking as far as the heel pocket
2. Grasp the center of the heel pocket and turn the stocking inside out to heel area
3. Carefully position the stocking over foot and heel. Be sure heel is centered in heel pocket
4. Pull stocking up and lift around ankle and calf, working up to the final position. Place heel and toe correctly. Smooth out any excess material between the top of stocking and ankle. Pull toe section forward to smooth ankle and instep area and allow for toe comfort.
What is Deep Vein Thrombosis?
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is the name given to blood clots that can form in the veins of your leg following surgery or long periods of bed rest in the hospital, among other reasons. If the clot becomes loose, it can break away and travel through the veins to the heart and lungs and may block a major blood vessel. This is known as a Pulmonary Embolism or PE. Pulmonary Embolism is a serious condition which in some cases may be fatal.
How to clean and care for TED Stockings?
- With correct care, TED Anti-Embolism Stockings can last up to 10 washes
- Stockings should be washed every 2 to 3 days or sooner if soiled
- Laundering increases length of wear by removing bodily secretions from the elastic threads
- Keep the stockings free from ointments, oils, lanolin, and similar substances which may deteriorate elastic
- Stockings may be washed by hand or machine washed with cold water using a delicate cycle
Contraindications: Stockings are not recommended for patients with the following:
- Any local leg condition in which stockings would interfere, such as dermatitis, vein ligation(immediately postoperative), gangrene, or recent skin graft
- Severe arteriosclerosis or other ischemic vascular disease
- Massive edema of legs or pulmonary edema from congestive heart failure
- Extreme deformity of leg
Why do Compression Socks have Open Toes?
- Open toe compression stockings are perfect for an individual who has swelling in foot and ankle region.
- Ideal for wearers who suffers from conditions like:
- Ingrown nails, bunions, open sores, etc.
- Individuals with long toes or large shoe size
- Sensitivity in front of foot
- In toes sensitivity
- Provides comfort without cramped toes
- It aids in smooth blood circulation hence reduce risk of blood clots & chronic leg pain
- No excessive pressure on toes
- Helps in inspection of temperature and blood circulation without need of removing stockings every time
