The choice of the optimum compression stocking depends on the indication and the patient's individual needs:
Due to the material thickness, the fit and the product characteristics, we recommend mediven elegance® for amongst others for women of normal weight, who do not show any tendency to venous oedema (leg swelling) and have firm connective tissue.*

The Soft Elastic foot tip guarantees more freedom for the toes and increased wearing comfort, while the smaller heel ensures a wrinkle-free fit. Thanks to the wide and soft cuff of the knee-length style, the stockings do not cut into the skin. Attractive topband motifs are available for the thigh-length stockings.

mediven elegance® underlines feminine beauty. It pampers the legs with its compressive effect, moulding itself to the leg like a second skin. It can be combined with every outfit and accentuates the feminine figure perfectly. On request, mediven elegance® compression garments can be adorned with sparkling crystals.
