Mediven Angio 20-30 mmHg Compression Knee High Black Petite Size 2

Why Choose the Mediven Angio Knee High?

Patients with diabetes or mild peripheral arterial disease (PAD) have a fundamentally different risk profile when it comes to compression therapy. Nerve damage from diabetes reduces the patient's ability to feel pressure, friction, or circulation restriction — meaning a standard compression stocking that creates a pressure point, tight seam, or constricting top band can cause skin damage, ulceration, or circulatory compromise without the patient sensing it. Standard compression stockings are not designed for this. The Mediven Angio is. Every design feature addresses the specific risks of compression therapy in patients with sensitive feet and compromised peripheral circulation. The Merino-plush padded footbed distributes pressure across the entire plantar surface, eliminating the concentrated pressure points that lead to blisters and skin breakdown on insensate or vulnerable feet. The extended flat toe seam minimises friction and irritation at the toe — a critical pressure and friction site in diabetic patients. The wide top band provides secure hold without creating a localised constriction point at the calf. The ribbed structure improves ease of donning — reducing the physical effort and skin friction during application. Size 2 Calf Petite addresses smaller calf circumference at shorter leg length, ensuring the stocking is correctly placed anatomically without excess fabric or bunching.

Key Features

• 20–30 mmHg firm graduated compression at the most commonly prescribed venous compression level
• Engineered for patients with diabetes or mild peripheral arterial disease
• Merino-plush padded footbed distributes plantar pressure and protects against pressure points
• Extended flat toe seam minimises friction and irritation at the toe
• Wide top band provides secure hold without localised constriction at the calf
• Ribbed structure for improved ease of donning and greater flexibility during wear
• Size 2 — smaller calf circumference for correct compression on slender legs
• Petite length — shorter leg proportions for correct anatomical placement
• Black colour for versatile daily professional and casual wear
• Approximately 70% polyamide / 23% elastane / 7% Merino wool

Benefits

• Merino-plush footbed actively protects vulnerable or insensate feet from compression-related pressure damage
• Flat toe seam prevents friction irritation at the toe — critical for diabetic foot protection
• Wide top band eliminates the tight constriction ring that can impair circulation in PAD patients
• Ribbed donning structure reduces the skin friction and physical effort of stocking application
• 20-30 mmHg compression improves venous return, reduces swelling, and relieves leg fatigue
• Size 2 Petite provides correct graduated compression for smaller-calved, shorter-legged users

Clinical & Typical Applications

Patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes requiring 20-30 mmHg compression therapy where standard compression stockings pose a risk of pressure-related foot injury due to neuropathy or compromised sensation

Patients with mild peripheral arterial disease (PAD) where compression therapy is indicated but must be carefully managed to avoid compromising arterial flow — prescribed under clinical supervision

Patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy requiring additional foot protection features in their compression garment to compensate for reduced pain and pressure sensation

Clinicians and certified compression specialists prescribing compression therapy for diabetic or PAD patients who require a product specifically designed for this higher-risk population

Smaller-calved, shorter-statured patients with venous insufficiency and concurrent diabetes who require the specific Size 2 Petite configuration for correct compression fit

Patients with venous insufficiency and mild PAD comorbidity where the clinical decision to prescribe 20-30 mmHg compression has been made with appropriate ABI assessment
