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

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 needed compression stockings after a total knee surgery. Ok. So. Compression socks are awful. Straight up. But these were a hundred times better than the one the surgery center sent home with me. They covered my toes and did not strangle them. The elastic grip around my thigh was so tight I had to cut it. It stayed on pretty well. It went on and off as well as can be expected. If I had to do it again, I would by the same brand.

After hip replacement surgery, I have to wear TED hose for 6 weeks. So I got this one so I have another one to change to while one is being washed. I’m 5’ and shoe size 5. So the feet area is too long. I am so tempted to cut them off and make them shorter. Other than that, it fits well. Even the top band is not too tight and comfortable. So far so good.

These are actually reasonably easy to put on. My wife had knee surgery and has worn these for several weeks now. She is very happy with them.

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.

Fit great well made

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.

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.
