The CLOTS 3 trial only tested SCD Express thigh length sleeves. We have no information in stroke patients about the effectiveness of compression of the calf or foot only.
- The SCD system provided 4 sizes of thigh length sleeves (X small, small, medium & large)
- Based on single measurement of thigh circumference – at its widest point
| Sizing the SCD express sleeves | |
|---|---|
| Thigh circumference | Size of sleeve |
| < 16 inches, 40.6 cm | X small |
| 16-22 inches, 46-56 cm | Small |
