Who Are Anti-Embolism Stockings For?

Anti-embolism stockings are designed primarily for people who are bedridden or have limited mobility for extended periods. A healthcare professional should assess whether they are suitable for the patient's condition and determine the appropriate size and use.

JOBST Thigh-High Anti-Embolism Size Guide

Selecting the correct size is essential for fit and intended performance. The supplied chart lists calf circumference ranges. Measure around the widest part of the calf and follow the manufacturer's or healthcare professional's instructions for measuring leg length from the floor to the top of the thigh.

Sizing note: The supplied chart has overlapping ranges for some sizes, including XL and XXL. Confirm the correct size using the manufacturer's current fitting guidance or with a healthcare professional before purchasing. Calf circumference alone may not be enough to establish the correct fit.

Colour and Toe Design

• Colour: White only, according to the supplied product information.
• Toe style: Open toe, designed to allow inspection of the toes.
• Length: Thigh-high.
