Care Instructions
Hand wash or machine wash only using gentle detergents on delicate cycle at 100°F. Do not use fabric softeners, chlorine-based detergents, or Woolite™-type detergents. Most mediven models are suitable for machine drying using the gentle cycle. Do not dry over heaters, in direct sunlight, or by wringing out the garments. Do not dry clean or iron your medi garments. Use the medi stocking guardian wash bag to wash your compression garments with extra care and to prolong their lifespan. Follow the specific wear and care instructions provided with each product.
What does 20-30 mmHg compression treat?
20-30 mmHg is the most commonly prescribed compression range, used for moderate varicose veins, moderate leg swelling, and ongoing symptom management. It is the standard starting point for true therapeutic compression.
Do I need a prescription for 20-30 mmHg?
20-30 mmHg is firm therapeutic compression that is usually recommended or prescribed by a clinician, and correct measurement matters at this level. Check with your provider so the level and fit match your condition.
Why is 20-30 mmHg the most commonly prescribed level?
It balances meaningful therapeutic benefit with all-day wearability, covering the majority of moderate venous symptoms without the firmness of the highest ranges. That makes it the default for moderate varicose veins, edema, and post-procedure support.
Is 20-30 mmHg used after vein procedures?
Yes, 20-30 mmHg is frequently used after sclerotherapy and other vein treatments to support recovery and results. Follow the specific protocol your clinician provides after any procedure.
How long should I wear 20-30 mmHg each day?
Most therapeutic compression is worn during waking hours and removed at night, but your clinician will give you the schedule that fits your condition. Putting the stockings on early, before swelling builds, generally gives the best results.
