Sitting for a long time while traveling by car, train or plane could lead to a risk of blood clots in the deep veins of the lower legs. This is called deep vein thrombosis.
JOBST compression socks help prevent the development of deep vein thrombosis by improving the blood flow in your legs. They also help minimize swelling of your legs so that you can arrive at your destination feeling refreshed and fit to enjoy your stay.
JOBST compression socks, such as JOBST ActiveWear, are travel essentials that help prevent swelling and discomfort during long travels and energize your legs. They can be used preventatively to avoid the formation of blood clots while traveling.
JOBST compression socks can be worn just like normal socks. JOBST Opaque is a comfortable every-day compression stocking that features quality yarns resulting in a soft and durable texture and JOBST Casual Pattern's soft, breathable fabric is comfortable to wear all day long.
In addition to wearing compression socks during long-distance travel, you should keep the following things in mind:
It’s important to drink enough water to counteract the water loss due to the low humidity in planes. Get up and stretch your legs regularly or include several stops when traveling by car. You can also move your calf muscles when sitting, such as moving your feet up and down.
