Mediven Vitality Compression Stockings Knee High Charcoal 5 Calf Regular 20-30 mmHg

Why Choose the Mediven Vitality Compression Stocking?

Compression therapy only works when it is worn consistently — and consistent wear depends on whether the user actually wants to put the stocking on. Traditional compression stockings have long suffered a compliance problem: they look and feel medical, making users reluctant to wear them in professional or social settings. The Mediven Vitality line solves this by designing the stocking around the appearance of a regular dress sock, with a subtle herringbone knit pattern in charcoal — a colour that integrates naturally with business attire, casual wear, and everything in between. The 20-30 mmHg compression level provides clinically meaningful venous support for mild to moderate venous insufficiency, varicose vein management, leg fatigue, and DVT prevention during travel. Size 5 Calf Regular accommodates a larger calf circumference at standard leg length, ensuring correct graduated compression distribution for users who require this fit. The mediGrip® integrated top band holds the stocking in place at the calf throughout the day without rolling, and Clima Comfort with lanolin and Clima Fresh keep the skin comfortable, dry, and fresh during extended daily wear.

Clinical & Typical Applications

Individuals with mild to moderate venous insufficiency, varicose veins, or chronic venous oedema requiring consistent daily 20-30 mmHg compression therapy

Professionals in standing or seated occupations — healthcare workers, office staff, educators, retail workers — managing circulation and leg fatigue

Travel compression for long flights, extended driving, or periods of low leg mobility where DVT risk management is a priority

Post-surgical patients prescribed 20-30 mmHg compression during recovery who prefer a professional-looking, everyday wearable stocking

Users with larger calf circumferences who require Size 5 fit for proper graduated compression distribution

Patients who have experienced compliance issues with traditional compression stockings and are transitioning to a more wearable, discreet design

Usage & Care

Donning: Apply in the morning before standing and before any swelling develops. Gather the stocking and work from the foot upward, ensuring the heel pocket is correctly positioned. Smooth the fabric flat without creases or folds.

Wearing: Wear as directed by your healthcare provider. The mediGrip top band should hold comfortably at the calf. Do not roll or fold the top band, as this creates a tourniquet effect.

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

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 elasticity and compression performance.

Replacement: Replace every 4–6 months with daily use, as compression effectiveness decreases with laundering and wear.

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