What is the difference between TED Hose and support hose?
TED hose are anti-embolism stockings designed to prevent blood clots, typically used in hospitals.

When should you use or not use TED hose?
TED hose are used to apply compression to the lower extremities to reduce swelling aka edema aka third spacing cause by poor VENOUS return circulation in the lower extremities. TED hose should be custom fit for the best results. TED Hose should never be allowed to roll down and create pressure behind the knee (popliteal space) or around the calf causing constriction instead of compression. This creates a 'rubber band effect" and can lead to the formation of blood clots or constrictive injury TED hose or any kind of compression should NEVER be used for people with ARTERIAL Insufficiency, or with Arterial Ulcers on the lower extremities.
Why are the called TED hose?
A TED hose, often referred to as an anti-embolism stocking, is a densely woven high compression non-gradient (compression distribution is the same from foot and ankle to the top of the hose) stocking that comes in both closed and open-toe (open-toe allows for checking the patients pulse) that is thigh-high in length and is typically administered to a post-surgical patient who is non-ambulatory (unable to get up and move around). TED hose is usually worn as a pair for a short duration (during recovery) to promote optimum blood flow for the prevention of chronic swelling, blood clots or deep venous thrombosis (DVT). A TED hose is also available in knee-thigh length that can be worn by non-patients, e.g., diabetics, who suffer with poor leg circulation. The acronym T.E.D. stands for Thrombo Embolic Deterrent. It is a trademark brand name owned by the Kendall Company.
