Compression Stockings: What Carers Need to Know

Compression stockings are commonly used to prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and improve circulation. Carers should:
Understand the types of compression stockings: There are different grades and types, and choosing the right one is key to their effectiveness.
Ensure proper fit: Compression stockings should fit snugly, without being too tight.
Educate patients: Ensure patients know how to wear and remove their stockings and why they are important.
By correctly using compression stockings, carers help prevent complications like DVT, especially in immobile patients.
