Lifespan Anti-Embolism Stockings

Lifespan anti-embolism stockings are graduated-compression hosiery built for one job: helping prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in patients who are bedridden, recovering from surgery, or otherwise immobile. Unlike everyday compression socks meant for active wearers, anti-embolism stockings deliver a lower, gradient pressure profile designed for supine, non-ambulatory patients — firmest at the ankle and easing up the leg to encourage venous return back toward the heart.

This collection covers the two lengths clinicians reach for most. Knee-high styles like the 553 and 558 series are the practical choice for many post-op and bedrest situations — easier to apply, less prone to rolling, and simpler for staff or caregivers to inspect. Thigh-high options such as the 573-03 extend coverage up the leg when a provider wants circulation support along the full length of the thigh. Every pair features an inspection toe opening, letting you check skin color, temperature, and circulation without removing the stocking.
