When should you use or not use TED hose?
TED hose are used to apply compression to the lower extremities to reduce swelling aka edema aka third spacing cause by poor VENOUS return circulation in the lower extremities. TED hose should be custom fit for the best results. TED Hose should never be allowed to roll down and create pressure behind the knee (popliteal space) or around the calf causing constriction instead of compression. This creates a 'rubber band effect" and can lead to the formation of blood clots or constrictive injury TED hose or any kind of compression should NEVER be used for people with ARTERIAL Insufficiency, or with Arterial Ulcers on the lower extremities.

Why are the called TED hose?
A TED hose, often referred to as an anti-embolism stocking, is a densely woven high compression non-gradient (compression distribution is the same from foot and ankle to the top of the hose) stocking that comes in both closed and open-toe (open-toe allows for checking the patients pulse) that is thigh-high in length and is typically administered to a post-surgical patient who is non-ambulatory (unable to get up and move around). TED hose is usually worn as a pair for a short duration (during recovery) to promote optimum blood flow for the prevention of chronic swelling, blood clots or deep venous thrombosis (DVT). A TED hose is also available in knee-thigh length that can be worn by non-patients, e.g., diabetics, who suffer with poor leg circulation. The acronym T.E.D. stands for Thrombo Embolic Deterrent. It is a trademark brand name owned by the Kendall Company.
Do you wear TED hose to bed or just when on feet?
TED hose are tightly fitting stockings, either knee-high or thigh-high. Their purpose is to assist venous blood-flow back to the heart. Veins work in relation to muscle contraction-- when we walk, muscles contact, putting pressure on the veins and literally pushing venous blood flow from the feet, into the calves, into the thighs, up into the veins in the abdomen, and thus to the heart. Conversely, when "at rest" with the legs level with the heart, the muscles are not contracting against the veins so there is less return to the heart. Typically in out-patient settings, most patients use TED hose during the day for support, pain reduction, and to help with venous return. These patients remove the hose at night, but some doctors may order thigh-high TED for certain conditions to be worn at night. In hospitals, post-surgical patients are often seen 24/hours a day in knee-high or thigh-high TEDs. In certain conditions, such as kidney impairment with resulting leg edema, doctors may order a type of mechanical compression stocking that alternates the pressure exerted against the leg, to mimic the action of muscle contraction even when the patient remains in bed. All patients using TED hose should ask their doctors for specific guidelines about using TED hose. For example, using a knee-high stocking that cuts off circulation due to swelling above the knee is just as useless as not wearing any compression hose.
