Support is simply good – also for our veins. Because if the veins are weak, the blood sinks into the legs. Then, combined with exercise, medical compression stockings are the basic therapy for venous disorders such as varicose veins. Thanks to the precisely defined pressure curve, medical compression stockings mechanically counteract impaired leg veins. They support the body in transporting the oxygen-poor blood back to the heart in a targeted manner. Many people know the feeling of swollen or heavy legs – especially in the evening. With the new medical compression stocking mediven angio, the manufacturer medi now also offers patients with certain concomitant diseases a safe solution in vein therapy.
The use of medical compression stockings must be carefully considered if venous patients are also affected by concomitant diseases such as arterial circulatory disorders in the legs (PAD = peripheral arterial occlusive disease) and / or diabetes mellitus.
This is why the new medical compression stocking mediven angio is specially tailored to the needs of users with concomitant PAD and / or diabetes mellitus. The arterial situation and possible sensory disturbances with long-term diabetes mellitus – especially in the foot and toe area – were the focus of the product development. Mediven angio compression stockings can enable effective and safe vein therapy. This has been confirmed in a clinical study. *
The properties of the new mediven angio are aimed primarily at venous patients with mild to moderate peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAD) and / or diabetes mellitus:
The extra-long, flat seam in the toe area protects the sensitive bony protrusions and relieves the tips of the toes. The blood circulation in the skin is maintained and prevents damage to the toes or skin disorders. The pleasantly soft merino plush padding in the entire foot area protects and prevents pressure peaks. It offers pleasant thermoregulation and high wearing comfort in every season. The grippy rib structure ensures reliable compression and provides orientation when putting on. The extra-wide cuff provides a secure hold and avoids constrictions due to the large-area pressure distribution.
For an optimal fit, the mediven angio is available in seven sizes and two foot lengths or made to measure. The subtle look of the mediven angio in the colors caramel and black goes well with every wardrobe.
Medical compression stockings are available in many material thicknesses and designs. The doctor decides whether and which medical compression stockings are suitable for patient vein therapy. The experts in medical retailers choose the variants, details and accessories together with the patient so that the stockings are ideal for all everyday requirements.
Possible concomitant diseases with venous disorders
Diabetes mellitus Typ 2 – “Age Sugar” – is a chronic metabolic disease in which the sugar levels in the blood are increased. The body cells of those affected respond less well to the hormone insulin. Type 2 diabetes mellitus can go unnoticed for a long time, but it must be taken seriously and treated. Because the increased blood sugar levels can damage blood vessels, nerves and organs in the long term and lead to cardiovascular diseases. Due to the nerve damage, those affected often lack the feeling of pressure and pain, especially in the feet and hands. Due to the undersupply of the skin, it is usually dry or cracked. The individual therapy can be discussed with the doctor.
PAD – “intermittent claudication” – Constrictions in the arteries of the pelvis or the legs are called peripheral arterial occlusive disease, or PAOD for short. The narrowed areas impede the flow of blood in the arteries and affected parts of the body may no longer be adequately supplied with nutrients and oxygen. This can easily go unnoticed in the initial stage, later on it leads to discomfort when walking. PAD is also known colloquially as “intermittent claudication”: After a short walk, those affected stop because of the muscle pain that occurs, just like on a shopping spree. The disease is also noticeable through cool, pale and dry skin as well as clearly protruding bony structures (for example ankles) due to tissue atrophy. The risk of having a heart attack or stroke is increased. A doctor should therefore always be consulted if PAD is suspected.
