Barcelcom’s sock in hospitals around the world

A sock made to prevent thrombosis during hospital internments (before, in-between and after surgery) is Barcelcom’s new revolutionary product, reaching hospitals worldwide. Developed, produced and certified by the Barcelos company, the new sock guarantees complete safety to the patient, and is a complement to the usual medication therapy.

The novelty is the sock’s unique characteristics, which significantly improve the patient’s comfort and safety. Without silicone and with a new fitting technology, preventing it from rolling up or falling during its use, the new sock provides greater comfort and it’s easier to use.

Alongside its anti-bacterial treatment, the foot grip increases safety when getting up. Moreover, fewer sizes are under production, though with a higher adjustment. The Achilles tendon area was redesigned for greater comfort, and the graduated pressure of 18mmHg enables an optimized venous reflux.

The new model by Barcelcom is already in use by different health services – public and private – across nine countries, while the company is looking into the possibility of developing this technology for other sectors with similar needs.

Considered one of the sector’s 40 most innovative companies, Barcelcom produces for several international companies in the field of graduated compression, for health and top-level sports.
