Scholl Flight Socks (Size 44-47) for DVT Prevention
Scholl Flight Socks are specialized graduated compression hosiery designed to keep your legs comfortable and healthy during long journeys by air, rail, or road. Whether you are flying from Lagos to London or taking a long interstate bus trip, these socks help ensure your legs feel light and refreshed.
How They Work
These socks apply a clinically proven level of graduated compression (14-17 mmHg). This pressure is firmest at the ankle and gradually decreases up the leg, helping to improve blood circulation and reduce the risk of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT), swollen ankles, and leg fatigue.
Key Benefits
- DVT Prevention: Clinically proven to reduce the risk of blood clots during long periods of inactivity.
- Relief from Swelling: Effectively minimizes edema (swelling) and aching in the lower legs.
- Cotton Feel: Designed with a soft touch for all-day comfort, making them feel like regular socks.
- Quality Standards: Conforms to the British Standard BS6612:1985 for medical compression hosiery.
Material and Design
- Composition: 93% Polyamide (Nylon), 7% Elastane (Lycra/Spandex).
- Size: EU 44-47 (Large), suitable for UK shoe sizes 9-12.
- Color: Discreet black design suitable for business or casual wear.
How to Use and Care
For maximum benefit, wear Scholl Flight Socks in place of your normal socks throughout your entire journey. Ensure they are pulled up to just below the knee.
- Maintenance: To preserve the elastic properties and compression level, hand wash is recommended. Air dry only; do not tumble dry.
- Note: Compression effectiveness may decrease after approximately 30 washes.
If you have a history of circulatory problems or have recently had surgery, please consult a GoMed pharmacist or your doctor before use.
