Mediven Comfort Thigh High 20-30mmHg

Why Choose the Mediven Comfort Thigh High?

Knee-high compression stockings are effective for many venous conditions, but some patients require coverage that extends higher — either because swelling and venous insufficiency affect the thigh, because post-surgical protocols require thigh-level compression, or because a knee-high fails to stay in position during daily activity. The Mediven Comfort Thigh High addresses all of these scenarios. Its thigh-high length provides graduated compression from the ankle upward across the full leg, with compression strongest at the ankle and gradually decreasing toward the thigh — the clinical direction that supports venous return most effectively. The 20-30 mmHg compression level is appropriate for moderate venous disease, active varicose vein management, post-surgical recovery, DVT prevention, and prolonged standing or sitting. The silicone top band holds the stocking securely in place against the thigh without rolling or sliding, eliminating the need for adhesive or a separate suspender belt. Clima Comfort fabric regulates temperature and moisture at the skin surface, and Clima Fresh technology controls odour and bacterial growth throughout extended wear. Available in petite and standard lengths and open or closed toe options.

• Clima Comfort technology regulates temperature and moisture for comfortable all-day wear
• Clima Fresh technology reduces odour and bacterial growth during extended daily use
• Soft, breathable polyamide and elastane fabric blend
• Available in petite and standard lengths to suit different leg proportions
• Open or closed toe options available depending on SKU
• Reusable compression garment designed for long-term daily use

Benefits

• Full-leg graduated compression improves venous return from ankle to thigh
• Thigh-high coverage provides therapeutic benefit for patients requiring more than knee-high compression
• Silicone top band maintains stocking position without restriction or discomfort
• Clima Comfort keeps the skin cool and dry during extended wear
• Clima Fresh reduces odour for all-day freshness and hygiene
• Available in multiple sizes and lengths for accurate, properly graduated compression fit

Clinical & Typical Applications

Individuals with mild to moderate venous insufficiency, varicose veins, or chronic venous oedema extending to or above the knee requiring full-leg compression therapy

Post-surgical patients following venous procedures, orthopaedic surgery, or gynaecological procedures requiring thigh-high compression during recovery

Patients who require DVT prophylaxis during hospitalisation, travel, or extended periods of immobility where full-leg coverage is preferred

Individuals for whom knee-high compression stockings are insufficient to manage symptoms or fail to stay in position during daily activity

Pregnant patients or those with pelvic venous conditions where compression extending higher up the leg is clinically indicated

Patients with lymphoedema or mixed venous and lymphatic conditions requiring therapeutic full-leg compression coverage

Usage & Care

Sizing: Select size based on ankle circumference, calf circumference, thigh circumference, and leg length using Mediven's sizing chart. Proper sizing is essential for correct graduated compression distribution. Choose petite or regular length based on leg length measurement.

Donning: Apply in the morning before standing and before any oedema develops. Gather the stocking and work it onto the foot, positioning the heel pocket correctly. Gradually smooth upward toward the thigh. Ensure the silicone top band sits flat against the inner thigh.

Wearing: Wear throughout the day as prescribed. The silicone band should hold securely without digging in. Do not fold or roll the top band, as this creates a tourniquet effect.

Removal: Remove in the evening. Peel gently from the top downward — do not pull or tug forcefully.

Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with mild detergent at 40°C (104°F). Do not tumble dry, iron, or bleach. Air dry flat or hang to preserve elasticity and compression performance.

Replacement: Replace every 4–6 months with daily use, as elasticity and compression degrade with repeated laundering.
