The duration for wearing TED stockings varies based on the type of surgery performed and your level of activity. The best people to advise you are your hospital team, as they are familiar with the specifics of your surgery. Many people continue to wear TED stockings until their mobility and activity levels return to normal after surgery.
If you have a nurse specialist, they may provide you with a patient information leaflet on TED stockings.
Please get back to us if you need any more information or support. You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.
