Abstract

To investigate adverse events of the elastic stockings, the questionnaire was mailed to the members of the Japanese Society of Phlebology and the elastic stocking conductors of Japanese Society of Phlebology. The answers were obtained from one-hundred ninety two medical institutions. Nerve injuries were reported from 6 institutions, skin ulcers were from 20 institutions, below knee amputation from one institution, and pulmonary embolisms were reported from 2 institutions. We considered that it is important to enlighten proper use of the elastic stocking. The elastic stocking conductors that are qualified by Japanese Society of Phlebology have an important role for proper use of the elastic stocking.
