Anti-embolic knitwear is one of the most common compression linen. It is specially designed for hospital use, so it is also called hospital. Antibiotic knee socks and stockings from such knitwear effectively restore blood flow in the limbs, thereby preventing the formation of blood clots.
They are widely used bedridden patients. Often such stockings are prescribed to pregnant women to prevent the development of thrombosis and thromboembolism.
This jersey is used to prevent thrombosis of veins in bedridden patients in cases where leg mobility is limited.
Antibiotic products are cut in such a way that their density gradually decreases from the bottom to the top. So, the pressure in the calf region can be 100%, and in the upper part of the leg - 40%.This difference in pressure is the physiological norm. This is due to the therapeutic effect of knitwear.
Due to this mode of distribution of pressure, the outflow of blood is stimulated and normalized towards the heart muscle.

Unlike anti-embolic stockings from compression
Despite the similarity of properties, in contrast to compression, anti-embolic stockings are not designed for permanent wearing. They are used for short periods of time, when this is especially necessary. Often they are recommended to be worn during surgical operations on vessels, during labor or during rehabilitation after severe injuries.
Antibiotic jerseys are only available in white. This allows you to monitor their sterility and analyze the allocation of wounds. For the possibility of medical monitoring of blood flow by skin color, special cuts are made in the area of the fingers.
These slots also make it easy to put a stocking on a silky socks. Unlike compression, hospital products stand sterilization in an autoclave.
Other differences between compression and hospital knitwear:
- The ability to withstand washing at high temperatures without compromising the quality of the compression effect. Since these products are designed specifically for use in hospital facilities, they must be regularly sanitized. After heat treatment, the fibers do not lose their properties.
- Time to use stocking .Hospital knitwear worn for a limited period of time. Usually, within two weeks after the operation, and no more than 5-6 days after delivery. Compression knitwear for people with vein problems is recommended to wear constantly.
- Hypoallergenicity is a must. In clinical conditions, the risk of developing an allergic reaction is significantly increased. This is due to the use of medicines and antimicrobial agents.
What the market offers
Anti-embolic knitwear can be of several types.
Prophylactic products
Prophylactic antiembolic stockings are necessary in the following cases: 
- During operation .In any operation, the risk of thrombosis and thromboembolism increases. This is a natural protective reaction of the body. In an operating trauma, substances that make it less liquid in order to reduce blood loss enter the bloodstream. In addition, the blood pressure decreases during the operation and the blood flow slows down. As a result of blood stasis, thrombi can form.
- During the birth of .Even with natural childbirth, there is a risk of developing thrombosis. During the period of labor, the outflow of blood from the lower limbs becomes difficult, the blood in the legs stagnates. The longer the delivery continues, the higher the risk of blood clots.
Pregnant Products
During pregnancy, the load on the veins increases sharply, the function of the valves decreases, blood coagulability increases, which leads to varicose veins. On sale are stockings up to the knee and stockings to the thigh.
The compression class differs:
- stockings of the 1st class are used in the absence of vein diseases;
- stockings of 2 classes is used as a preventive agent and in the presence of serious diseases of veins.
How to choose the right product
In order to correctly choose the size, you need to carefully study the dimensional table. As a rule, each firm has its own.
Three dimensions are taken into account:
- leg length;
- the length of the ankle circumference;
- circumference of calves.
Hope for a consultant in a pharmacy or orthopedic salon is also not worth it. The right degree of compression can be chosen only by a doctor. If you buy an inappropriate product, you will not be returned to the store.
Properly selected stockings keep well thanks to a wide silicone rubber band and have the most beneficial effect.

Application experience
Reviews of visitors to our website on the application of this type of linen in practice.
I bought anti-embolic stockings from Ergoforma specially for birth. Stockings are pleasant to the body, comfortable to dress, since there are special holes on the toes. After birth, my legs ached terribly, but no veins and blood vessels got out. I think these wonderful products have done their work. I do not regret that I bought them.
Alina
I had to survive the operation - caesarean section. Since I do not have a very good heredity for veins, the doctor advised me after the operation to roll my legs with elastic bandages.
I thought that I could not roll up as needed, and even after the operation there will be no time for it. From the Internet I learned about anti-embolic stockings. I bought them and put them on before the operation, although they were tight, but I pulled it myself( though with the help of a special device).Do not go down, tightly fit your foot. Easily erased and quickly dry.
