| Product Description |
Superior fit and feel graduated compression hosiery.
Compression factor 14 - 17, natural 30 denier semi-sheer flight socks.
Whether you’re going on holiday, taking a business trip or visiting friends, if you’re travelling long haul you should consider Scholl Flight Socks.
Using compression hosiery such as Scholl Flight Socks and Scholl Flight Socks Sheer reduces the risks associated with long haul flights by aiding the movement of blood in the veins.
Providing the extra support leg veins need, they effectively relieve that tired and achy feeling you can get, plus they can stop you getting swollen ankles meaning you arrive at your destination refreshed and ready.
A Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) can be caused when blood is not returning to the heart properly and gathers - or clots - in the lower limbs. Long periods of inactivity or sitting in cramped conditions (such as on an aircraft) can hamper the normal flow of blood as the process of returning blood to the heart from the legs is normally assisted by the movement of the leg muscles.
A DVT is not actually dangerous in itself, it's the complications arising from it that can be life-threatening. If the clot detaches itself from the veins and makes its way through the bloodstream to the lungs, you could suffer from chest pains which are exacerbated by breathing and, in some cases, the coughing up of blood. In rare instances, if the clot is large, it can travel to the heart and lungs, interrupt blood flow and result in sudden death.

| Directions |
You should wear your Scholl Flight Socks or Scholl Flight Socks Sheer throughout your journey, and not, necessarily only on your flight; you may have long distances to travel on one or both sides of your flight and should also wear them then.
Wear them in place of socks or hosiery and always ensure that they are pulled up to just below the knee. Try and make sure they are free of wrinkles and do not roll them down.
