Anti-embolism stockings, also known as compression stockings, should be properly fitted to the individual’s leg size to ensure effective compression and prevent complications. They should be worn as directed, typically during periods of immobility or as recommended by a healthcare provider, and should be removed periodically to check for skin integrity and signs of irritation. Regular washing and proper maintenance are essential to maintain their elasticity and effectiveness.
