{"title":"DVT Prevention","description":"\u003cp\u003eSitting still for long stretches — long-haul flights, recovery after surgery, or limited mobility — slows the blood flow in your legs and raises the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a clot that forms in a deep leg vein. Graduated compression socks and stockings apply firm pressure at the ankle that eases up the leg, helping blood keep moving back toward the heart so it is less likely to pool and clot. This collection brings together travel and daily graduated compression suited to circulation support during periods of inactivity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor most healthy people during travel or general immobility, a light 15–20mmHg (Class 1) below-knee sock is the commonly recommended starting point. If you are recovering from surgery, have had a previous clot, or have been assessed as higher risk, follow the specific compression class and product your doctor or surgeon prescribes. Compression is one supportive measure for reducing DVT risk — it works alongside staying mobile, hydration and any medication your clinician has advised, and it is not a replacement for prescribed anti-clot treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy compression helps during inactivity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the calf muscles are not active (as on a long flight or during bed rest), blood moves more slowly through the deep veins.
