T.E.D. Anti Embolism Stockings Thigh High Knee High for Women Men, 15-20 mmHg Compression TED Hose with Inspect Toe Hole

I had knee replacement surgery and they put some TEDS on me at the hospital. I ordered these so I would have 2 pair and they are more supportive than what the hospital gave me. When I see the Doctor in another week, if he tells me to keep wearing them I will order some more.

I’m a nurse who just had hip Labral repair surgery. I understand the importance of anti embolism stockings. I was sent home wearing a pair but wanted a second pair so I could wash them out. After careful review I chose these and they have not disappointed. The sizing was perfect based on measurements. They are snug, but went on fairly easily. (Support hose should never go on super easily) I’m not sure I love the silicone band, but it’s easily folded over and they stay up if sized correctly. They come up higher than the hospital issued ones, which is good. Those were just above my knees, these are mid thigh. They also stay over my toes better, I have 9.5 size feet. Im wearing grip socks over them.

I purchased these compression stockings for my mother (85 years old) as replacement for hospital issued stockings post-knee replacement. The stockings she was issued from hospital were so tight, we could barely get them off and then back on & she felt like they were completely cutting off her circulation. These compression stockings worked a lot better. They did the job compression-wise - she was even able to get them off and on by herself, and was much happier/in a lot less discomfort. One negative: One of the stockings lost its elasticity around her thigh about a week and a half in and it didn't stay in place so well after that point. So I took off one star because they didn't hold up well. If you're looking for a short-term post-op compression stocking replacement, I would recommend these stockings. If you're looking for something that needs to hold up for weeks/months, I would recommend you check out other products.

Fit great well made

I like the thickness of the material. They are thicker than a typical pantyhose but not as thick as socks. I like the strength of the compression, I like the shape allowance for the foot. Unfortunately the band that holds it up on your thigh is such a thin width that the stockings roll down easily. When they roll down they cut into your skin extremely tightly and cut off circulation. Therefore these tights are not functional and I cannot wear them. I have the same brand in one size up and those are too big/loose, pictured in white in my photos. White is XL, tan is Large. If these stockings had a wider band like the doc Miller stockings have (compare in last photo) Then they would have been perfect. Alternatively, if they had been shaped differently they may have fit better. Everyone's thighs are wider than everyone's calves right? So make the thigh wider intentionally.

Had knee replacement surgery and needed to wear TED hose for weeks. These are SO much better than the fairly flimsy ones the hospital provided.

If I could do a zero star, I would do not buy these re-order the ones I usually wear because I have varicose stains and neuropathy. They sent me these instead. They were so tight. They almost cut off my circulation. Nothing like the others do not buy they don’t even come in no size on them And I have to have extra large.

After buying two other brands of medical compression hose, following the measurements, they were too small. I decided to try this brand for a couple of reasons. First, the size that was offered that seemed fright was an XXL. No other brand offered that. They arrive, I put them right on and they fit perfectly. The length came up to my back knee and the top of the sock is not like a tourniquet. I hope that they will wear well. I have gone ahead and ordered another pair.
