Futuro Anti-Embolism stockings provide the medically proven benefits of graduated compression to offer effective support, as well as soft, durable materials for outstanding comfort and fit. Our graduated compression knitting technology is specifically designed to speed blood flow by providing the most compression at the ankle and gradually diminishing pressure up the calf. These stockings are latex-free and manufactured under the most rigid quality control inspections to assure the precise pressure necessary to discourage thrombus formations. Developed in collaboration with a panel of physicians, surgeons and medical specialists. Futuro offers a wide range of high quality products. Each is designed to offer optimal support, comfort and fit. Made in USA. 1. Insert hand into heel pocket of stocking. Turn stocking inside out by grasping center of heel pocket. 2. Position stocking over foot and heel, carefully centering heel in heel pocket. 3. Gently pull stocking up and over ankle and calf, working up to the final location. Note that the top of the stocking (i.e., the band) should fall at the bottom of the buttocks. If any excess material exists, smooth out. Care: To ensure stockings last as long as possible, launder after every three days of use. Keep the stockings free from substances like ointments, oils and lanolin which could deteriorate elastic. Hand wash with mild soap in warm (not hot) water. Rinse well until water is clear (do not wring or twist out) and air dry. Do not bleach, tumble dry, dry-clean, or iron. Proper sizing and application must be assured. Contraindications: Anti-embolism stockings may not be recommended for patients with the following (always consult your physician): 1. Any leg condition in which stockings would interfere, such as: dermatitis (skin problems); vein ligation (leg surgery); gangrene; recent skin graft. 2. Severe vascular diseases, such as Arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), that cause poor circulation to the leg. 3. Massive edema (swelling) of the legs, or pulmonary edema (fluid in the lungs) from congestive heart failure. 4. Extreme deformity of the leg. Important: These stockings are only to be worn on the advice of your doctor and for the time period recommended. If discomfort or pain results, persists or increases, discontinue use and consult your physician. Do not under any circumstances turn down top of stockings. 1 pair Wilton, CT 06897 2007 Beiersdorf Inc
