Second Skin Anti-Embolism Thigh Length 18 mmHg — Full-Leg Support

A soft smooth knit built for continuous wear during recovery. Available in Small to X-Large. This sits in the anti-embolism compression class, indicated for reducing thromboembolic risk, recovery at home while reclining or bed-confined, post-surgical recovery at home, periods of reduced mobility.

Key Features

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Second Skin Anti-Embolism thigh-length stockings?

Second Skin Anti-Embolism is our sensibly priced compression range. This style is a unisex thigh-length stocking knit in a soft smooth knit built for continuous wear during recovery, finished with a silicone stay-up top with a pressure-relief panel in the upper thigh, delivering 18 mmHg anti-embolism graduated compression. Browse the full Second Skin range.

What does 18 mmHg mean, and what does it help with?

The numbers are the pressure at the ankle in millimetres of mercury, decreasing along the limb. 18 mmHg is the anti-embolism class, indicated for reducing thromboembolic risk, recovery at home while reclining or bed-confined, post-surgical recovery at home, periods of reduced mobility. Our compression therapy guide explains each level.

How do I know I'm ordering the right size?

Compression sizing isn't standardised across brands — a Medium in one brand is often not a Medium in another, so go by your measurements rather than the size you wore last. Measure first thing in the morning before swelling builds, against bare skin with the tape snug but not constricting, then match the result to the chart on this page. Our measuring guide walks through each measurement.

How do I put these on and take them off?

Turn the garment inside out to the heel, work the foot in first, then roll it up the limb in stages rather than pulling from the top, which stretches the band. Rubber gloves or a donning aid make it easier. Full instructions are in our guide to putting on compression stockings.

How do I care for them?

Wash after each wear in cool or lukewarm water with a gentle solution — never fabric softener or bleach — and air dry away from direct heat. Most people rotate two pairs so a clean, dry pair is always ready. Full instructions and washing solutions are in our care guide.
