Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

A: They should be applied before periods of inactivity or immediately after surgery, typically under the guidance of a healthcare provider.
Q: How often should anti-embolism stockings be removed?
A: They should be removed at least once every 8 to 12 hours for skin checks and hygiene, or as directed by your healthcare provider.
Q: What’s the difference between compression stockings and anti-embolism stockings?
