What Does TED Stand For?
TED stands for Hose Thrombo Embolism Deterrent
TED, or Hose Thrombo Embolism Deterrent, refers to a specialized compression garment designed to prevent the formation of blood clots in the venous system, particularly during periods of prolonged immobility. These garments apply gradient pressure to the legs, enhancing blood flow and reducing the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). TED products are commonly used in clinical settings post-surgery or during long-term bed rest, contributing to patient safety and recovery.
