SaphenaMEDICAL Anti-Embolism Stockings are ready-to-wear for post-operative/ surgical, reclining or bed-confined patients, to help prevent pooling of blood and fluid in the extremities by applying controlled graduated pressure. The fabric used is comprised of nylon and lycra which is used in the predicate devices. The SaphenaMEDICAL Anti-Embolism Stockings provide controlled, uniform graduated conpression, as is provided in all of these substantially equivalent products, starting with more compression circumferentially at the ankle at approximately 18 mmHg (based on average ankle size) then gradually decreases up to the proximal end. (14mmHg at the mid-calf and 8mmHg at the upper thigh) Compression for the SaphenaMEDICAL Anti-Embolism Stockings, as well as all the predicate devices, is provided by lycra that acts circumferentially on the extremity. The gradient compression present in these products helps reduce capillary leakage and improve capillary and lymphatic drainage and/or absorption. Consequently, they can be used to manage the same indications, i.e. edema and lymphedema. The Anti-Embolism Stockings are not made with natural rubber latex.
