What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionProvision of Anti Embolism Stockings (Non Mechanical) for NHSS.
Compression stockings are a specialised hosiery designed to help prevent the occurrence of, and guard against further progression of,
venous disorders such as edema, phlebitis and thrombosis. Compression stockings are elastic garments worn around the leg, compressing
the limb. This reduces the diameter of distended veins and increases venous blood flow velocity and valve effectiveness. Compression
therapy helps decrease venous pressure, prevents venous stasis and impairments of venous walls, and relieves heavy and aching legs.
