Anti-embolism stockings offering graduated compression
Brevet TX
Brevet TX® stockings deliver graduated compression to the feet and legs to help prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in non-ambulatory patients.
Graduated compression prevents venous stasis, which is believed to be one of the main causes of DVT. Brevet TX anti-embolism stockings consistently deliver the right level of compression at key points in the feet and legs. Thanks to a built-in inspection area, healthcare professionals can assess foot and toe circulation easily.
- Seamless, flat-stitched construction for effective support without discomfort
- Low compression heel to help prevent the stocking causing pressure ulcers
- Inspection area to assess circulation in the feet and toes.
- No pressure on the popliteal vein area

When to use Brevet TX
Brevet TX can be used as a prophylaxis to prevent DVT in any patient at risk of developing an embolism in the feet or legs.
How to use Brevet TX
Brevet TX must be fitted by a healthcare professional. To choose the appropriate size, measure your patient at the widest part of their calf (C) – or if you’re ordering thigh-length stockings, at the widest part of their thigh (T). Brevet TX anti-embolism stockings are designed to help prevent the formation of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) in non-ambulatory patients.
Step-by-step instructions
Insert your hand into the foot of the stocking, as far as the heel area – grasp it and turn the stocking inside out.
Carefully position the inverted stocking over the toes.
Roll the stocking over the foot and heel. Make sure the patient’s heel is in the heel area before rolling the stocking up the leg.
If fitting the thigh length with waistband style, ensure that the upper panel is positioned above the hips before securing the waistband.
Smooth out any excess material and pull the toe section forward to smooth both ankle and instep areas, and ensure that the patient’s toes are comfortable.
