Mediven Vitality Knee High Chocolate 5 Calf Petite 20-30 mmHg

Why Choose the Mediven Vitality Knee High – Chocolate, Size 5 Calf Petite?

The combination of a larger calf circumference and a shorter leg length is a common fit challenge in compression stockings — and when fit is wrong, compression therapy doesn't work as intended. A regular-length stocking on a shorter leg bunches at the knee, disrupting the graduated pressure gradient and causing discomfort throughout the day. The Vitality Petite addresses this by providing a correctly proportioned shorter length that sits at the right anatomical position on the lower leg. Size 5 accommodates a larger calf circumference, delivering proper graduated compression across the full calf profile without creating gaps, rolling, or constriction. The chocolate herringbone knit gives the stocking the appearance of a professional dress sock — appropriate for work, travel, and daily activity without looking medical. The Merino wool blend adds natural breathability and softness that benefits users spending long periods on their feet. The mediGrip® top band keeps the stocking in place throughout the day without rolling, and Clima Comfort with lanolin and Clima Fresh keep skin comfortable and fresh during extended wear.

Petite-statured individuals with larger calf circumferences requiring a correctly fitted Petite-length, Size 5 compression stocking for daily 20-30 mmHg therapy

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 to the calf. The Petite length should sit comfortably below the knee without excess fabric or bunching.

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 use and laundering.

Sizing: Size 5 Calf Petite is determined by ankle circumference, calf circumference, and leg length. Confirm measurements against Mediven's Petite length sizing chart before ordering.
