Surgical Leggings

Surgical leggings, also known as surgical stockings or compression stockings, are specialized garments worn by patients during surgical procedures. They are part of the supply class Hospital And Surgical Clothing And Related Special Purpose Items in the supply group Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies.

Surgical leggings are designed to provide compression and support to the legs, helping to improve blood circulation and prevent blood clots during and after surgery. They are typically made of elastic or nylon material and are available in various sizes and lengths to accommodate different patient needs.

These leggings are worn by patients who are undergoing surgery, particularly those who are at a higher risk of developing blood clots, such as individuals with a history of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or those who are immobile for extended periods. The compression provided by the leggings helps to prevent the pooling of blood in the legs and reduces the risk of clot formation.

In addition to surgical use, these leggings may also be used in other medical settings, such as during recovery from surgery or for patients with certain medical conditions that require improved blood circulation in the legs.

It is important to note that surgical leggings should be used under the guidance and recommendation of a healthcare professional. They should be properly fitted to ensure optimal effectiveness and comfort for the patient.
