Trekmates Flight socks actively reduce the risk of DVT by applying a gentle pressure to the ankle; they help blood to flow around the body by squeezing it up towards the heart, which assists the body's circulation.
DVT is not a problem restricted to air travelers; it can affect anyone travelling for prolonged distances by car, coach or train. DVT is a result of extended periods of immobility which can lead to the development of a blood clot.
