 The conditions in an aircraft cabin are ideal for clot
formation. Jetskins are one form of treatment designed to keep the blood
flowing, applying pressure at the apex of the calf (17mmHg), knee (10mmHg) and
hip (2mmm Hg), assisting in fluid flow from areas of higher to lower pressure.
Jetskins keep an individual cool and prevent moisture build up under the
garment. They have open toes and heels making the garment easy to take on and
off. The material is impregnated with an antibacterial to prevent odours and
skin infections. The fabric is also sturdy and resilient to tearing.
Jetskins are recommended to be worn for air or land travel, and are recommended
to be worn for the whole day of travel. (www.skins.com 2006)
Jetskins have a recommended retail price of $149.99 (GST incl.) however, as a
