TED hose, or thromboembolic deterrent stockings, are used in diabetics to promote blood circulation and reduce the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). When using TED hose, it's important to select the appropriate size and compression level, ensuring a snug fit without being overly tight. Patients should be educated on proper application techniques and the importance of wearing them consistently, especially during prolonged periods of immobility. Additionally, regular monitoring of skin integrity is crucial to prevent complications, given the potential for reduced sensation in diabetic patients.

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.
