Dear  

We heard the same thing as you. You weren't satisfied with the graduated compression hose that were available on the market. They made it impossible to check a patient's heel, not to mention the extra pressure the hose themselves put on a patient's heels. They weren't comfortable. They don't stay up. Some of you told us you may even stop using hose altogether because the ones on the market just weren't worth the hassle.

But now we're changing all that. Introducing new HeelSafeTM DVT Hose from DM Systems.

Their unique window design allows for easy visualization and palpation of the heel. It also keeps pressure off the heel, lessening the risk of heel pressure ulcers.

HeelSafe DVT Hose are available in five sizes, and in both knee-high and thigh-high. The graduated compression (20-9mm HG thigh-high and 20-12mm HG knee-high) helps prevent pooling of the blood. The softer, stretchier material makes them easy to put on and take off. The convenience and comfort of HeelSafe DVT hose makes them a no-brainer.

Find out more today by visiting our website, where you can see how HeelSafe DVT Hose can help. The difference is easy to see.

Sincerely,

  

Denis B. Drennan, MD

Elastic compression stockings for prevention of deep vein thrombosis

Hospital patients can develop deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in the legs and pelvic veins immediately after surgery or if they are not mobile because of a medical illness. Symptoms vary from none to pain and swelling in the legs. A blood clot can move from the leg to the lungs with the danger of pulmonary embolism and death. Usually the DVT clears up or has long term effects such as high venous pressure in the leg, leg pain, swelling, darkening of the skin or inflammation.

DVT can be prevented using compression or drugs but drugs may cause bleeding, which is a particular concern in surgical patients. Graduated elastic compression stockings help prevent blood clots forming in the legs by applying varying amounts of pressure to different parts of the leg.
