Carolon CAP Anti-embolism Thigh High Stocking System FAQs
How do CAP Stockings work?
These stockings apply graduated compression, meaning they provide the most pressure at the ankle and gradually decrease pressure up the leg. This helps improve circulation and reduces the risk of blood clots.
What is the unique design feature of CAP Stockings?
CAP Stockings feature a knit-in femoral gusset that prevents the tourniquet effect at the upper thigh, ensuring comfort and effective compression without restricting blood flow.
How do the stockings stay in place?
The stockings have a non-constrictive thigh band that helps keep them securely in place without being too tight or uncomfortable.
Are these stockings suitable for everyone?
While CAP Stockings are designed for individuals at risk of DVT, it’s important to consult a healthcare provider to determine if they are appropriate for your specific needs.
How should I care for my CAP Stockings?
To ensure longevity, hand wash or machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water. Lay flat to dry. Always follow the manufacturer's care instructions.
