Immobile patients have special requirements during their hospital stay. Due to the inactivity of the calf muscle pump the speed of venous blood return to the heart decreases. This increases the risk of thrombosis and post-operative and post-traumatic oedema formation. Graduated compression socks and supports, promote blood flow back to the heart. This can reduce post-operative and post-traumatic oedema and effictively prevent thrombosis.
