Thrombosis
Compression therapy
During bed rest or impaired mobility, all mechanisms that promote venous return flow to the heart are switched off. This particularly includes the lack of muscle activity.
Medical anti-embolism stockings compensate for this: they exert pressure (compression) on the superficial veins of your legs and thereby ensure that your blood flows back to the heart at a faster rate.
Do I have to wear the anti-embolism stockings at night as well?
The answer is a definite "yes". Since you move around less at night, blood flow also slows and the risk of a blood clot forming increases significantly. mediven thrombexin 18 therefore offers you reliable protection especially during the night.
