Mediven Vitality Knee High Charcoal 4 Calf Petite 20-30 mmHg

Why Choose the Mediven Vitality Knee High – Charcoal, Size 4 Calf Petite?

The Size 4 Calf Petite combination serves a specific and underserved fit group: users with a medium-to-larger calf circumference who also have a shorter leg length. A regular-length stocking in this size would be too long for a petite leg, leading to bunching at the knee that concentrates pressure inappropriately and disrupts the graduated compression from ankle to calf. The Petite length eliminates this problem by providing a shorter stocking that correctly terminates at the right anatomical position on the calf without excess fabric. Size 4 ensures the compression level is accurately distributed across the calf's circumference for this fit range. The charcoal herringbone knit provides a professional, dress-sock appearance that integrates with workplace and casual wardrobes without drawing attention to the compression function. The Merino wool blend adds natural breathability and softness, the mediGrip® top band holds the stocking securely all day, and Clima Comfort with lanolin and Clima Fresh manage moisture, skin comfort, and odour throughout extended daily wear.

Usage & Care

Donning: Apply in the morning before getting up and before any swelling develops. Position the heel pocket correctly and smooth the fabric upward. The Petite length should sit comfortably below the knee without bunching or excess fabric.

Wearing: Wear as directed by your healthcare provider. The mediGrip band should sit comfortably at the calf. Do not roll or fold the top band.

Removal: Remove in the evening by peeling gently from the top downward.

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

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

Sizing: Size 4 Calf Petite is determined by ankle circumference, calf circumference, and leg length. Confirm measurements against Mediven's Petite length sizing chart before ordering.
