Ideal For

These anti-embolism stockings are well suited for non-ambulatory hospital and post-surgical patients who are at risk of deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism due to extended bed rest or limited mobility following surgery, illness, or injury. Nursing staff and clinical teams in hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, and long-term care centers will find the non-binding top welt a practical feature that improves patient comfort and compliance during extended wear without compromising the stocking's position on the leg. Home care patients recovering from orthopedic surgery, joint replacement, or other procedures that require a period of limited activity will benefit from the graduated compression that promotes venous return and reduces the risk of clot formation. The latex-free construction also makes these stockings appropriate for patients with latex sensitivities, ensuring broad usability across patient populations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these stockings appropriate for ambulatory patients?
These stockings are specifically designed for non-ambulatory patients. For ambulatory patients who require compression hosiery for daily wear, a therapeutic compression stocking in the appropriate mmHg range is recommended instead.

How do I determine if Large is the right size?
Sizing for anti-embolism stockings is typically based on ankle and calf circumference measurements. Refer to the Blue Jay sizing chart or consult a clinician to confirm the correct size before ordering.

What is the difference between this stocking and the thigh-high version?
This is a knee-high stocking that covers the foot and lower leg up to just below the knee. The thigh-high version provides additional coverage up through the thigh and is typically prescribed when compression is needed across the full leg.

Are these stockings latex-free?
Yes. These stockings are latex-free, making them suitable for patients with latex sensitivities.
