What is DVT?

DVT is a potentially life-threatening disorder in which blood clots form in the deep veins in the body, particularly in the legs. If the clots break loose and travel to the heart or lungs, they can be fatal.

Who’s at Risk of DVT?*

Anyone can contract DVT. However, people who travel frequently or take long haul flights or rides (e.g. car and train) are the most susceptible to forming blood clots due the cramped conditions that restrict movement and promote immobility.

DVT Symptoms*

Symptoms of DVT are difficult to detect because they are similar to other health problems.  The following is a list of symptoms a victim of DVT might experience -

1. Swelling or cramps of lower leg
2. Shortness of breath
3. Rapid Pulse or Rapid Breathing
4. Excessive Sweating
5. Chest pains
6. Coughing blood
7. Fainting

The Sock can aid in the prevention of these symptoms.
