FEATURES/BENEFITS

CAP (Anti-Embolism Stocking)

  • Available in 10 knee and 11 thigh length sizes
  • Two way stretch fabric helps ensure that the stockings remain in place, even during ambulation
  • Cool, lightweight and comfortable
  • No pressure in toe area allows free movement without constriction
  • Floating heel pocket accommodates varying foot sizes, virtually eliminating unwanted pressure on the heel or toe. Colored blue for easy recognition and accurate placement
  • Unique ankle design delivers 19 mmHg to the ankle. For edematous patients or patients with disproportionate ankle-calf relationships, an optional ankle measurement is provided to ensure accurate fit

ATS (Anti-Embolism Stockings)

  • Accurate, graduated compression from ankle to thigh for patients who are unable to wear standard anti-embolism stockings because of extra-large thighs up to 36”, abnormally shaped legs, over bandages after surgery or when edema is present.
  • Precise compression rates are made possible by the triangular shaped panel and VELCRO® closure that may be set for proper size. With this adjustable panel, constriction of the upper thigh is virtually eliminated
  • CAROLON’s patented Adjustable Thigh Stockings have all the advantages found in CAP anti-embolism stockings: full foot, inspection toe, floating heel, specially designed knee, non-constrictive thigh band and graduated compression
