For patients at risk of developing compromised or inadequate venous return from the legs as a result of both medical and non-medical circumstances. The HeelSafe DVT Hose are designed to aid and prevent deep vein thrombosis in the recumbent patient with limited mobility. Progressive compression from foot to knee aids in improving venous return and avoiding clot formation. The HeelSafe DVT Hose open heel aids in preventing pressure on the heel that could be caused by the additional 15-18 mm Hg of pressure of other compression stockings. The HeelSafe DVT Hose open heel allows for easy visualization and palpation of the heel at all times.
