Long Periods of inactivity, combined with the cramped conditions and dehydration which can occur on long flights, can cause a number of circulatory problems including deep vein thrombosis - DVT (blood clots)
Scholl Flight Socks offer the appropriate amount of Clinically Proven Graduated Compression to help blood circulation and help prevent the build up of excess fluid in the legs.
Risk factors to DVT:
- Personal/Family history of blood clots
- Aged above 40
- Pregnant
- Female Hormone medications (contraceptive pill/HRT)
- Height over 6 feet or under 5 feet
- Obesity
- Former or current malignant disease
- Varicose veins
- Heart Disease
- Recent surgery or injury, especially to lower limbs/abdomen
- Inherited blood clotting defect
- Immobilisation for long periods
If you have any of these conditions please consult a healthcare professional on the precautionary steps you should take before flying.
Scholl Flight Socks are unisex and have a cotton feel while Scholl Flight Socks Ladies are specifically designed for women and feature 30 denier semi-sheer.
Both types of Flight Socks feature Compression Factor 14 to 17, which is a compression level of 14-17mmHg. |
Dosage
