TED Stocking Size is anti-embolism compression stocking. There are knee length and thigh length. Wearing a suitable size is important. The size depends on length of leg, calf circumference and thigh circumference. TED Stocking Size Finder is a calculator to find suitable size of stocking by entering the parameters in centimeters.
TED anti-embolism stockings are clinically proven to reduce the incidence of DVT up to 50% and to promote increased blood flow velocity in the legs 138% of baseline by compression of the deep venous system. They have also been clinically proven to prevent the damaging effects of venous distension that occurs during surgery and hospitalization.

TED anti-embolism stockings apply the clinically-proven graduated pressure pattern of 18mmHg at the ankle, 14mmHg at the calf, 8mmHg at the popliteal, 10mmHg at the lower thigh and 8mmHg at the upper thigh.2 It is important to measure the patient’s leg size to assure that the appropriate pressure pattern is applied.
