Flight Socks

Flight Socks Designed to Prevent Deep Vein Thrombosis. Travel involves long periods of sitting - the result: the circulation slows down and the bloods tendency to clot increases. the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) also affects people with healthy veins. an association between airline travel and DVT has been suspected for years. In a recent study this association has been shown to exist in more than 10% of passengers traveling economy class. The problem is however by no means restricted to travellers in economy class. Mediven Travel class 1 elastic stockings have been shown to be effective in reducing the number of clots in the main veins in airline passengers. They have been specially developed for people with healthy veins. Mediven travel stockings are below knee elastic stockings of medical quality.
