Anti-embolism stockings are designed to improve blood circulation in the legs and prevent the formation of blood clots, particularly in patients who are immobile or recovering from surgery. They provide graduated compression, meaning they are tighter at the ankle and gradually loosen towards the knee, helping to promote venous return. These stockings are often used in hospital settings, as well as for individuals at risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Overall, they play a crucial role in enhancing venous blood flow and reducing the risk of complications associated with poor circulation.
