Compression stockings medi mediven ulcer kit - ulcer stocking system with 2 x 20 mmHg
- Therapeutic effect even at night
- Prevents odor formation thanks to the antibacterial effect
- Easy to put on under and over stockings
Up to 24 hours of effective compression therapy to treat open legs
Compression therapy is a cornerstone in the treatment of the open leg (ulcus cruris venosum). Guideline-based therapy recommends the use of ulcer stocking systems after the initial decongestion phase of the venous edema. The mediven ulcer kit ulcer stocking system ensures continuous, effective compression around the clock and is easy to put on thanks to its two components. (1)
The white mediven ulcer lower stocking is used, among other things, to fix wound dressings. With a compression pressure of 20 mmHg, it can be worn for up to 24 hours and is therefore also therapeutically effective at night. (2, 3) Its soft material with an antibacterial effect ensures a high level of comfort and makes it easier to put on the overstocking - it simply slides over the lower stocking.
During the day, during the mobile phases, the mediven ulcer plus overstocking is also put on to increase the compression. With a compression pressure of 20 mmHg, this provides the therapeutically necessary pressure of 40 mmHg. (5) The caramel-colored and opaque overstocking also offers a discreet look.
