DVT Flight Socks
In recent years, following the
widening press coverage of DVT, there have been a number of efforts to
introduce DVT-preventative devices.
Recognised by a number of health
experts, these elastic compression stockings represent one of the most
accessible steps towards the reduction of DVT.
Ultimately, it would be hoped that all long-haul carriers provided
them for free on all flights over five hours.
At present,
flight stockings can be purchased at good pharmacies for around £11
or $16.
Their manufacturers claim that they can be worn up to 30 times, and
are available in several sizes.
