Our four recommendations against heavy swollen legs and for the prevention of thrombosis:
- drinking enough water to compensate the faster dehydration of the body due to the low humidity in the air
- regular exercise during the flight to stimulate the circulation
- metvital Thromboflow capsules to support the normal blood flow
- Travel stockings that provide external support and thus ensure optimum blood flow in the leg veins
Travel stockings are so called support stockings which have a supporting effect on the blood vessels. The blood does not sink within the legs and as a consequence they don’t swell. The improved blood flow prevents blood clots from forming and thus prevents thrombosis. The risk of thrombosis increases with length of flight, increasing age, during pregnancy, taking hormone preparations such as contraceptive pills, smokers and people with cardiac problems, vein diseases or defective blood clotting. We keep a wide range of travel stocking in stock for you and we also offer custom-made compression stockings, for example for flight attendants and frequent flyers.
