mediven plus for Men & Women, 20-30 mmHg Thigh High w/Beaded Silicone Top Band Open Toe Compression Stockings, Beige, IV-Petite

I have been wearing Mediven compression stockings for about 25 years: 40 - 50 mmHg on my left left. In preparation for vein surgery, my doctor prescribed the 20-30 mmHg stockings. The stockings are comfortable and silicone beads hold the stockings in place. You do need to measure your legs carefully to get the proper size and fit so you have the proper compression. Mediven stockings are good quality , but do need to be properly cared for and replaced after 3 to 6 months.

The Mediven is a high quality product. It is important to order the correct size. On my recent order I ordered a petite size and it made a big difference in how well the stocking controlled the swelling of my ankle and leg. I also ordered a size III instead of IV. My measurements didn't match the guide exactly so I decided to try the smaller size. So far I think it was a good decision. I was happy with the ease of ordering and the customer service of the company. I have worn compression stockings for years. I always use the donning gloves and the nylon sock to apply the stocking.
