Why do I need anti-embolism socks (stockings)?
Anti-emboli socks accelerate blood flow and reduce coagulation by applying constant pressure to the legs. They apply a reduced compression towards the calf and upper leg, with the external pressure being the highest in the ankle. Thus, they increase the blood flow in the deep vein system.
Aurafix Anti-Emboli Socks have been designed in accordance with the standard “TS ENV 12719 Medical Thrombosis Prophylaxis Socks”. There are 3 models as below knee, above the knee, above knee belted at the waist. There are anti-slip silicone bands on top of the socks. Thanks to its special weaving having no latex, its compliance with the patient with an elastic structure are high.
