Medi is a brand of German innovative products of highest quality, resulting from 60 years of experience.
The Clinic of Phlebology–NASMED recommends the models of Mediven Elegance series. It is the most popular and most frequently sold stocking in Germany. In Poland it gained more and more popularity due to the good price to quality ratio, as well as highest aesthetic value (perfect for women who want to look good).

They were produced with the use of Clima Comfort technology (reducing sweating) and Soft Elastic technology (increased comfort due to reduced compression of the forefoot).

For all those who would like to perfect their technique of putting on the compression garment we provide a video tutorial (the video available thanks to Biotal company – the distributor of Sigvaris products in Poland).
We also invite you to read about a new system which facilitates putting on the compression garment with the use of a rubber Doff N’Donner. It is a product (a two-part set) particularly recommended for people who use preventive garment on a daily basis or need to use compressive products as an exclusive therapy mode and have difficulties putting it on due to their limited movement abilities.
