MEDIAL Class 1 compression calf-high stockings with closed toe - black, size XL

MEDIAL medical compression knee-highs in size XL fall into compression class 1 and serve to support venous circulation. With a pressure of 15–21mmHg in the ankle area, they help to reduce swelling and the feeling of heavy legs, and bring relief from varicose vein problems. They are suitable for long periods of standing or sitting, for air travel, or as a prevention for venous thrombosis. The unisex design is intended for both men and women, and the material, a blend of nylon and spandex, is breathable and elastic.

The principle of graduated compression

The knee-highs use the principle of graduated compression, which is strongest at the ankle and gradually decreases up towards the calf. This mechanism supports the venous return of blood from the lower limbs back to the heart. This reduces swelling and relieves the feeling of heavy, tired legs that often accompanies long-term strain.

Comfortable all-day wear

The material, a combination of 70% nylon and 30% spandex, gives the knee-highs both flexibility and durability. It is also breathable, which reduces sweating and increases comfort during all-day wear. The seamless design also contributes to comfort, eliminating the risk of pressure marks or unpleasant chafing. Thanks to their thin and matte appearance, the knee-highs are suitable for both formal and casual wear.

A medical device for everyday use

The knee-highs are registered as a class 1 compression medical device. They are used not only when travelling, especially on long flights, but also in jobs that require long periods of standing or sitting. They are also recommended for support during pregnancy or as part of post-operative care. For more serious venous diseases, it is advisable to consult your doctor about the choice of compression class.
