Composition and Properties Preventex is composed of Polyamide and elastane and is available in a range of sizes, knee-length, thigh-length and thigh length with belt to accommodate the different patient morphologies. It has recently been improved and has a range of features and properties to ensure correct fitting and patient comfort. A breathable silicon band on the thigh-length stockings for comfort and to maintain correct positioning A 2-way stretch gusset to prevent a tourniquet effect and enhance patient comfort An inspection opening under toes to provide easy access for the clinician Anatomically designed heel to maintain the correct compression at the ankle and enhance patient comfort Permanent size indicator sewn into the feet of both stockings for ease of identification Preventex is now softer than before with a wider ankle to allow for easy application and fitting Anti-embolism stockings work by providing graduated compression to the leg which increases the linear velocity of venous blood flow, reduces venous wall distension and improves valvular function
