Why Choose mediven® plus Extra Wide

Application & Care - Size 5 Extra Wide Specific

Size 5 Extra Wide: Designed for patients with larger calf circumferences who need the security of an extra-wide silicone band. Refer to the mediven sizing chart to confirm ankle and calf measurements correspond to Size 5, and select Extra Wide if standard bands have been uncomfortable or ineffective.

Application: Don in the morning before swelling increases. Use rubber donning gloves or a donning device to help slide the stocking on smoothly. The soft handfeel and easy-glide fabric make these easier to apply than many medical compression stockings. Smooth out wrinkles to ensure even pressure distribution. The extra-wide band should sit comfortably without rolling or digging in.

Important: Compression therapy should be used per clinician guidance, especially if you have arterial disease, diabetes with neuropathy, peripheral artery disease, or open wounds. Regular skin and circulation checks are essential.

Care Instructions: Hand wash or machine wash gentle in a garment bag using cool water. Air dry flat or hang to dry—avoid heat sources and dryers. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners as they damage compression fibers and reduce effectiveness. Proper care maintains therapeutic compression levels.
