Preventex Anti Embolism Stockings

Preventex is a range of anti-embolism stockings specifically designed to reduce the risk of developing a blood clot or deep venous thrombosis caused by the slowing of the blood due to surgery or a prolonged period in bed.

Anti-embolism stockings work by providing graduated compression to the leg which increases the linear velocity of venous blood flow, reduces venous wall distension and improves valvular function.
