The medical anti-embolism or antithrombotic stockings (Thromboembolic Deterrent) Bota Embolix exert degressive pressure (18/24 mm Hg at the ankle and 7/10 mm Hg at the thigh). Circulation in the superficial and deep veins improves and the negative effects of the venous stasis are minimised. Because of these specific characteristics, the stockings are only recommended as anti-embolism stockings for bedridden patients (day and night) or immobilised patients during the preoperative or postoperative period. The stockings are open at the tip of the foot so that the doctor or nurse can check the circulation.
