The Neo-Slip (Award winning)
Neo-slip is a new and innovative way to apply anti embolism stockings, (otherwise known as flight socks). The stockings are extremely tight but help to prevent Deep vein thrombosis. (DVT) this is when a clot forms in the legs, makes its way to the lungs, gets stuck and may cause death.
Travellers’ and inpatients are at high risk of developing DVT.
Neo-slip’s a low friction pouch which goes onto the foot before the tight fitting stocking and creates a lubricous effect which slides the stocking into place. Due to the tightness of the stocking many people give up on the life saving stockings. In fact, 25,000 people are dying in UK due to preventable Deep Vein Thrombosis DVT
