How do compression
stockings work to treat vein disease?
The mediven
product lines are always at the cutting edge of development - mediven is
the ideal solution for moderate to severe vein disease due to its graduated compression profile that
delivers static, or consistent, compression on the leg or limb. A few of the mediven products are made with stiffness
properties for edema containment in the treatments of lipedema and lymphedema that need products with greater wall stability.
In
contrast to support stockings, medical compression garments have a defined
pressure gradient. These can be prescribed by a doctor if needed, and durable
medical equipment retailers measure patients for the correct size.
mediven
products are designed to provide patient comfort and thus guarantee the best
treatment outcomes. Each stocking is matched to the needs of patients right
down to the smallest detail. mediven products can fit every lifestyle with our
expansive product options, various styles, and an array of color choices.

How are compression socks
or stockings made?
They
are knitted on a round cylinder and are seamless. The number of stitches in
each row is identical. The shape and size of the stocking are determined by the
variable stitch size and the differing pre-tension on the compression yarn. The
yarn is highly stretchable, which makes the stocking very elastic. The high,
resting pressure ensures that the stockings are also effective during long
periods of standing or sitting. The controlled compression decreases from the
ankle upwards and reduces the diameter of the veins. This enables the valves
inside the veins to close again to keep the blood flow on the move, resulting
in less swelling and tightness.
What are flat-knit
compression stockings?
It is
made-to-measure, knitted in rows and then closed off with a flat seam. The
stocking is shaped by increasing and decreasing the number of stitches. The
compression yarn is kept at the same tension and covered, so the stockings are
less elastic and have stable walls. Thus, the stocking lies above skin creases
and does not cut into the skin. The stronger material ensures constant working
pressure over a large area, particularly when the patient moves about.
Flat-knit garments are used to treat edematous diseases. After treatment with
complex physical decongestion therapy (CPD), flat-knit compression stockings (for example, mediven 550) ensure that fluid does not accumulate in the tissues
again.
