Compression Stockings

for Pulmonary Embolism Recovery

Graduated compression stockings for leg symptoms following DVT associated with PE. Help reduce leg swelling, pain, and post-thrombotic syndrome risk.

How it works

Graduated compression reduces venous stasis and improves venous return from the legs. Reduces oedema and may reduce risk of post-thrombotic syndrome — chronic leg pain and swelling after DVT.

What to watch for

Ensure correct sizing — poorly fitted stockings can worsen symptoms. Class 2 compression (23–32 mmHg) typically recommended. Consult your doctor or physiotherapist for guidance on appropriate compression level.
