Ultra C.A.R.E Anti-Embolism Stockings

Ultra C.A.R.E anti-embolism stockings are designed for patients who are bedridden, recovering from surgery, or otherwise immobile — situations where the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) rises sharply. Worn during recovery and periods of reduced circulation, these gradient-compression garments help keep blood moving through the legs and back toward the heart, reducing the chance of dangerous clots forming.

The stockings in this collection deliver a 20 to 30 mmHg compression rating, applying firmer pressure at the ankle that gradually eases up the leg. That graduated pattern is what encourages healthy venous return. Every style features an inspection toe — a small opening that lets caregivers check circulation, skin color, and warmth without removing the entire stocking, which matters for post-op monitoring and pressure-sensitive patients.

Knee-High and Thigh-High Options for a Proper Fit

Fit is the difference between effective therapy and a garment that rolls, bunches, or restricts. This collection covers both lengths and a wide size range so you can match the patient's leg:

Knee-high stockings (models 853-00 and 858-05) suit patients who need below-knee coverage, from X-Small up through 2X-Large.
Thigh-high stockings (models 863-05, 868-05, and 868-06) extend coverage up the leg and come in regular and short leg lengths as well as larger 2X- and 3X-Large sizes for a secure, non-binding fit.

Choosing between knee-high and thigh-high usually comes down to the care setting and physician guidance — thigh-high offers more complete coverage for bedridden patients, while knee-high is often easier to apply and stays in place well for those with some mobility. Correct sizing to the patient's leg measurements is essential; a stocking that's too tight can constrict circulation, and one too loose won't deliver the intended gradient.
