Organic cotton: naturally well cared for- certified organic cotton and recycled polyamide
- thermoregulating effect
- dermatologically tested for sensitive and allergic skin
mediven cotton: The first medical compression stocking with organic cotton and recycled polyamide
Feel the difference. Make a difference: mediven cotton is a circular knitted medical compression stocking with 27 percent genuine organic cotton. The product is used for compression – among other things in the treatment of complaints and diseases of the leg venous system. These include: chronic venous diseases of stages I to II according to Widmer or C0s to C4 according to CEAP, the initial phase following varicose therapy as well as congestion problems, oedema during pregnancy and nausea in pregnancy. mediven cotton is also used in thrombosis prophylaxis for mobile patients.
Due to the material, the fit and product characteristics we recommend mediven cotton for normal to overweight persons with light to heavy tendency to venous oedema. mediven cotton is also suitable for patients with soft connective tissue and sensitive or allergic skin.
Feel the difference: Optimum combination of natural and functional fibres – for a natural and pleasant skin sensation
Feel good with a 27 percent share of genuine organic cotton: the organic fibre is noticeably soft and lies directly on the skin. This provides a particularly high level of wearing comfort. The combination with functional fibres ensures a thermoregulating effect: cooling at higher temperatures and isolating warm in cold weather.
The natural fibre organic cotton is considered particularly soft - and is therefore suitable for sensitive and allergic skin. This has been dermatologically tested 1 for mediven cotton and given top marks.
Make a difference: Organic cotton and recycled materials – responsibility for people and the environment
For the compression stocking mediven cotton, we rely on GOTS-certified organic cotton 2 and GRS-certified recycled polyamide yarn 3. These are internationally leading standards with high ecological and social requirements - for consideration of resources and the environment. The materials used have each also been OEKO-TEX certified 4. The focus is on transparency, trust and an important step towards more sustainability.
- Genuine organic cotton directly on the skin - lined on the inside of the stocking
- Polyamide yarn with a recycled content of 60 percent - for an effective and resource-saving compression
- Thermoregulating effect - cooling in hot temperatures and warming in cold weather
- Dermatologically tested by Dermatest - ideal compression solution for sensible or allergic skin
