Date:8/20/2008

ockings significantly reduce the rate of deep-vein thrombosis in post-surgical patients, according to the researchers.

"A lot can be done to optimize the benefits of graduated compression stockings and minimize adverse effects," Brosz said.

The improper use and sizing of these stockings and the deficiencies in patient education are important health care issues."
