Fitlegs - Model AES / AES Grip - Anti-Embolism Stockings
FITLEGS™ AES (anti-embolism stockings) help to prevent the formation of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) in the legs by applying clinically proven graduated compression.* FITLEGS™ AES are designed to be simple to fit and apply, which reduces sizing errors and nursing time. G&N has developed an effective grip sole and applied it to our leading brand FITLEGS™ to create a complementary range of anti-embolism stockings, which assists hospitals in reducing the number of patients experiencing trips and falls.
Slips, trips and falls cost the NHS an estimated £2.3 billion a year** – a single fractured hip can cost the NHS as much as £4,603 and even “no harm” incidents are estimated to cost £41 per fall.***
