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

Why Choose the Mediven Vitality Knee High?

Compression therapy at the 20-30 mmHg level is clinically effective for managing venous insufficiency, reducing oedema, alleviating leg fatigue, and supporting DVT prevention — but compliance is a persistent challenge when compression stockings look and feel medical. The Mediven Vitality line solves this by combining the clinical performance of a medical-grade compression stocking with the appearance and feel of an everyday dress sock. The charcoal colourway integrates naturally with business and casual wardrobes, and the smooth, polished fabric looks nothing like a traditional compression stocking. This makes it significantly easier for users to wear their compression consistently — which is where the clinical benefit is realised. The mediGrip® silicone top band keeps the stocking in position throughout the day without rolling or slipping, and Clima Fresh technology actively controls odour and bacteria growth for all-day freshness. The Clima Comfort fabric blend, enriched with lanolin, keeps skin comfortable and dry throughout wear. Size 5 Calf Petite is fitted for a larger calf circumference in a shorter leg length, ensuring proper compression distribution for petite-statured individuals who require a wider fit.

Usage & Care

Donning: Apply in the morning before standing and before any swelling begins. Use a donning frame or gloves if needed to assist with application. Ensure the heel pocket is correctly positioned and the stocking lies smooth without creases or folds.

Wearing: Wear throughout the day as directed by your healthcare provider. The mediGrip band should sit comfortably at the top of the calf without compressing. Do not fold or roll the top band.

Removal: Remove in the evening. Gently peel from the top downward — do not force or tug.

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 integrity.

Replacement: Medical compression stockings should typically be replaced every 4–6 months with daily wear, as elasticity degrades with repeated use and laundering.

Sizing: Size 5 Calf Petite is determined by ankle and calf circumference and leg length. Confirm measurements against Mediven's sizing chart before ordering to ensure proper graduated compression fit.
