Truth about TED HOSE
Truth about TED and T.E.D. Anti-Embolism Stockings
My doctor wrote a Prescription for TED hose. What are they?
Support Hose are often generically referred to as TED hose, much like Facial Tissues are called Kleenex. Physicians are commonly exposed to post-surgical or anti-embolism hose in the hospital setting, so the Rx they write will commonly say TED hose.
T.E.D. (anti-embolism) hose are specifically designed for patients who are lying down and generally made for short duration of wear during hospitalization. They do provide compression and, depending upon the manufacturer, the compression at the ankle is in the range of 13-18mm Hg. They are usually white in color with an opening under the ball of the foot. This little peep hole is designed to check the circulation in the foot without removing the stocking.
If you’re up and ambulatory (and no doubt you are), your Rx for TED hose usually means a Rx for Vascular Support Hose which are designed to be worn during the daytime; or whenever you are up and active. Vascular Support Hose provide gradient compression to help keep your legs and ankles from swelling and to improve lower leg circulation.
What you don't know CAN hurt you. White hospital stockings, sometimes known as TEDS, are a common prescription for patients recuperating after various surgeries. These stockings are worn to prevent blood clots during the healing process. They are specifically designed for patients who are lying down in bed.
These white hospital stockings were not made to treat vein disease for patients who are on their feet. Only medically prescribed graduated compression stockings provide the correct type of therapy for the daily treatment of vein disease.
GRADIENT COMPRESSION STOCKINGS
Anti-Embolism TED HOSPITAL STOCKINGS
Offers graduated medical compression for most types of vein disease
Offers mild equalized compression for bedridden patients
Highly effective treatment for vein disease:
Helps prevent further vein deterioration
Helps heal leg ulcers
Helps legs feel better
Ineffective treatment for vein disease:
Cannot support the vein walls for upright patients.
Prevents blood clots for patients lying down only
The compression is stronger at the ankle to help fight gravity's effects on your veins
