2 WHY DO I NEED T.E.D. ANTI-EMBOLISM STOCKINGS? T.E.D. Anti-Embolism Stockings reduce the threat of blood clots in your legs. Blood clots can form in anyone, but the threat of their formation is much greater during a hospital stay. Why? Because the muscles are inactive during prolonged bed rest. As a result, your blood circulation in the legs is slower than normal and this creates a condition that can lead to blood clot formation, and may prolong hospital stay. T.E.D. Anti-Embolism Stockings improve blood circulation in the legs by applying graduated compression. T.E.D Anti-Embolism Stockings should be worn throughout your hospital stay, both night and day except when showering or bathing. Studies have shown that the risk of developing blood clots can continue after you leave hospital. As the risk continues so should the protection. There are some precautions you should take to ensure that the T.E.D. Anti-Embolism Stockings will perform the job they were designed to do. Do not turn down the top of the stocking. For thigh length, the stitch change (change in fabric sheerness) should fall between 2.5cm and 5cm below the bend in the knee. For knee length stockings, do not cover the lower portion of the knee. T.E.D. Stocking Contraindications. Stockings may not be recommended for patients with the following (Ask your doctor): 1. Any leg condition in which stockings would interfere, such as: a. Dermatitis (skin problems) b. Vein Ligation (recent leg surgery) c. Gangrene d. Recent skin graft. 2. Severe vascular diseases, such as arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) that cause poor circulation to the leg. 3. Massive oedema (swelling) of the legs, or pulmonary oedema (fluid in the lungs) from congestive heart failure. 4. Extreme deformity of the leg. IMPORTANT: These stockings are only to be worn on the advice of your doctor and for the time period recommended. * registered trademark of Tyco Healthcare Inc. 1

8 Applying T.E.D Anti-Embolism Stockings Please Note The seam on the gusset must remain on the outside of the stocking - the smooth side goes next to your skin. There is no right or left stocking - the stockings fit either leg. A small amount of talcum powder may be used on your legs to help slide the stockings into the correct position By following these basic steps T.E.D. Anti-Embolism Stockings are easily applied. Insert hand into stocking as far as the heel pocket. Stockings should be applied so that the upper hem rests at the top of leg. Be sure the side panels are at hip bone and seams are flat against the body. Grasp centre of heel pocket and turn stocking inside (fit to heel area). Keeping stitch change and upper thigh hem in place smooth out any excess material with palms of hands. Pull the toe section forward to smooth ankle and allow for toe comfort. To attach the belt Carefully position stocking over foot and heel. Be sure heel is centered in heel pocket. Pull a few centimeters of the stocking up around the ankle and calf. Continue pulling the stocking up the leg. The stitch change (change in fabric sheerness) should fall between 2.5cm and 5cm below the bend of the knee. As thigh portion of the stocking is applied, start rotating stocking inward. Gusset panel is placed slightly towards the inside of the leg. Unfold the waist belt and place it around your waist. The smooth side of the belt should rest against your skin. Fasten the belt snaps to the stocking. Connect waist buckle and adjust waist belt so that it is sufficiently firm to hold stockings in place, yet comfortable. To adjust the belt To fasten the buckle, thread the belt up through opening with teeth and down through middle opening. To tighten the belt, pull forward through buckle. To lock the buckle, bring loose end of the belt up under prongs Belt must be worn at all times. Please take time to make sure the stockings are on correctly and feel comfortable. 7
9 Laundering and Care Properly sized stockings need to be removed daily during bathing to inspect the condition of your skin. Do not leave stockings off for more than 30 minutes. Stockings should be washed every 2 to 3 days unless 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. Follow these simple instructions for laundering: 1. May he washed in commercial washers with other light goods. Water temperature should not exceed 71 0 C ( F). Avoid excessive bleach. 2. May he dried in commercial dryers with temperature going from that of the wet wash to a maximum o C (25 0 F) over a time period of 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the dryer when cycle is completed as temperatures rise sharply when load is dry. Prolonged heat can reduce the wear life. With correct care, T.E.D. Anti-Embolism Stockings last up to 3 months, (approximately 30 washings). 8
