EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ENV 12719 testing. This European Standard applies to medical thrombosis prophylaxis stockings, knitted from yarns made of natural fibers or synthetic fibers and elastic yarns, used as a medical device for venous thrombosis prophylaxis. The preliminary standard specifies requirements and testing methods, excluding bespoke socks.
An important feature of the stockings is their durability, that is, the preservation of the determined compression throughout their service life. So far, the durability of socks has been achieved by the choice of construction materials and the methods by which the socks are produced.
The ENV 12719 standard specifies the requirements for medical thrombosis prophylaxis stockings designed to reduce the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in patients who are immobilized or have limited mobility due to medical conditions or surgery.
The standard outlines minimum performance requirements for socks, including:
Compression Level: The stocking must provide a certain level of compression, measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg), to effectively promote blood circulation and prevent the formation of blood clots.
Fit and Comfort: The stocking should be worn properly on the patient's leg to provide optimum compression and comfort without causing discomfort or irritation.
Durability: Socks must be durable and able to withstand repeated use and washing without losing their compression properties.
Biocompatibility: Socks should be made of materials that are safe and non-toxic and do not cause skin irritation or other adverse reactions.
Compliance with the ENV 12719 standard ensures that medical thrombosis prophylaxis stockings are safe, effective and reliable in preventing the formation of blood clots in patients at risk of DVT.
