A member asked:
Is a weighted blanket safe for people with history of dvt?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: I see no contraindications to using a weighted blanket. More important, in patients with history of DVT, is avoidance of prolonged immobility in a sitting or supine position, and sufficient fluid intake, avoidance of dehydration.
