Mediven Thrombexin 18 anti-thrombus hold-up stocking Mediven Thrombexin 18 anti-embolism stockings are an essential tool to counteract the onset of thrombotic phenomena during hospitalization and limit the risk of pulmonary embolisms. Their use is suggested as a prevention strategy in the phases preceding, accompanying and following a surgical operation. In situations where the probability of thrombosis is significant, the adoption of these stockings is usually included in a broader therapeutic plan which may include administration of specific drugs and physical rehabilitation activities. The principle of differentiated compression, which starts from around 18 mmHg at the level of the malleolus and drops to around 8 mmHg in the upper area, effectively supports the ascent of the venous flow.
