Ideal For

Non-ambulatory patients in hospital, long-term care, or home health settings who are at risk for deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism during bed rest or post-surgical recovery will find the Blue Jay inspection toe stocking a 15-20 mmHg graduated compression option that allows clinical monitoring without the need to remove the stocking at each assessment.

Smaller patients requiring a Small regular-length thigh-high anti-embolism stocking who need a comfortable option for extended wear will find the non-binding top panel and silicone band a practical combination that keeps the stocking in place without a garter while minimizing top-band discomfort.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an inspection toe opening?
An inspection toe opening is a small opening at the toe of the stocking that allows clinicians to assess the patient's toe circulation, skin color, and capillary refill without removing the stocking. This is particularly useful in clinical settings where frequent circulation checks are part of the post-surgical or critical care monitoring protocol, as it avoids the need to fully remove and reapply the stocking at each assessment.

What is the difference between anti-embolism stockings and compression stockings?
Anti-embolism stockings are designed for non-ambulatory patients to reduce the risk of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism during periods of limited mobility. They are typically prescribed at lower compression levels such as 15-20 mmHg and are not intended for use as ambulatory graduated compression hosiery. Always use the type prescribed by your physician.

How do I put on thigh-high anti-embolism stockings?
Turn the stocking inside out to the heel, place your foot into the stocking, and gradually roll it up the leg. Smooth out any wrinkles or folds, as bunching can create pressure points. The silicone strip band at the top should sit flat against the thigh to hold the stocking in place. A stocking donning aid or rubber gloves can help with application. If the patient has difficulty with self-application, a caregiver or clinical staff member should assist.

Are these stockings latex-free?
The product description does not specify latex-free status for this model. If the patient has a known latex sensitivity, confirm latex content with the manufacturer or your DME supplier before use.
