Event Description

The customer reported that a blood clot occurred to a patient who wore a small-size comfort sleeve.The patient's right upper calf got swollen, and the patient was diagnosed with a thrombus.The doctor has pointed out that not enough pressure might have been applied because the size small was somewhat small for the patient's leg.It is reported that the nurse did not put the sleeves on the patient firmly, thus it seems less likely the sleeve was tightening the lower leg.Usage period is 1 day.
