T.E.D.® stockings are specifically designed to speed blood flow by providing graduated compression up the leg. Compression is tightest at the ankle and gradually diminishes up the calf.

• Pressure pattern stays in place for continued benefit
• Designed to maintain circulation
• Defined heel pocket for easy sock orientation

T.E.D® stocking precautions: Proper sizing and application must be assured

• Measure calf circumference at the greatest portion
• Measure distance from bottom of heel to gluteal furrow (If possible, measure length in standing position)

This product contains natural rubber latex which may cause allergic reactions

Warnings: These stockings are only to be worn on the advice of your doctor and for the recommended time period.
Do not under any circumstances turn down top of stockings

Wear Instructions

1. Insert hand into stockings as far as the heel pocket. Grasp center of heel pocket and turn stocking inside out
2. Carefully position stocking over foot and heel. Center heel in heel pocket
3. Pull stocking up and around ankle and calf, working up to the final position. The stitch change (change in fabric sheerness) should fall 1-2 inches below the bend of the knee, and top band rests on line at bottom of buttocks. Smooth out any excess material

Care Instructions
To preserve life of stockings, launder every three days. Keep the stocking free from substances such as ointments, oils and lanolin which deteriorate elastic. Wash in water temperatures not to exceed 160°F (71°C). Avoid excess bleach. Dry in temperatures not to exceed 250°F (121°C) for no longer than 20 minutes. Remove from dryer promptly.
Prolonged heat can reduce the stocking's wear life
