OFF ON YOUR OVERSEAS TRIP?              

Did you know that by wearing JetSox you can reduce your risk of DVT nearly 20 fold giving you peace of mind when you fly?*

You are at increased risk of developing a DVT if any of the following apply to you:
• Flying for longer than 6 hours
• Using the Oral Contraceptive Pill/ or Oestrogen containing Hormone Replacement
• A smoker
• Undergone recent surgery                                                                                                  
• Older than 40 years
• Previous history of DVT (either in you or blood relative)                              
• Suffering from any malignancy (cancer)
• Overweight

JETSOX are graduated compression socks that act by forcing the blood in the veins of the lower leg back to the heart. This prevents blood pooling in your leg veins and reduces the risk of a clot forming. Similar products are used in hospitals around the world to reduce the number of patients who develop blood clots after surgery. Research into their use on aircraft has shown they are effective in:

     • Reducing the number of passengers who will develop DVT
     • Reducing annoying leg and ankle swelling associated with flying.

JETSOX are:
     • Currently available in black or navy blue
     • Suitable for adult men and women
     • Similar for adult men and women
     • Similar in appearance to high quality everyday socks
     • Predominately made of cotton for comfort
     • No prescription required
     • Easy fitting system ensuring selection of the correct size is accurate and easy

There are some passengers who should discuss the use of compression socks with their medical practitioner before purchase. These include people who suffer from:
     • Severe arterial or venous disease of their lower legs
     • Nerve damage of the lower leg or foot e.g. complicated diabetes
     • Open ulcers/wounds of the lower leg
     • Passengers suffering from severe swelling of their legs due to any cause
