The SaphenaGrip Below Knee Anti-Embolism Stockings gained a commendation in the orthopaedics category of Which Medical Device of the Year 2012.
The nominator said, "So simple - just the market-leading Anti-embolism stocking...but with anti-slip dots on the sole, which make it twice as useful, since it helps prevent expensive and painful slips and falls.”
We say, "This is an excellent and simple idea – TED stockings with anti-slip soles, which are said to reduce the risk of falls. We haven’t seen these in use, but the idea is an elegant and eminently sensible one, deserving of a special commendation.”
