Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) happens when a blood clot forms deep in the vein of the leg, and if untreated can lead to serious or even lethal damage. Among the ways doctors treat, manage and prevent DVT, compression stockings are a must-have.

Whether you're late into your pregnancy term, just recently given birth or you're on a particularly long flight, wearing pressure stockings for DVT or compression stockings for blood clots can make all the difference.
