Safety in treatment, right down to the toes.
mediven angio knee-high stockings in 15-20 mmHg are graduated compression stockings designed with built-in foot protection for sensitive and at-risk feet. They relieve tired, aching, heavy legs, ease mild to moderate spider and varicose veins and mild swelling, and support everyday venous health, and are well suited to people managing mild peripheral arterial disease (PAD) or diabetes alongside venous disease, where protecting vulnerable skin matters.
Merino-plush padding cushions the entire foot, from the toes to above the ankle, to reduce pressure over bony prominences, and an extra-long, flat toe seam gently cradles the toes for an anatomical, pressure-relieving fit. A solid ribbed structure with high longitudinal stretch makes the stocking easy to apply, and an extra-wide cuff holds it securely with even pressure.

Important - see full prescribing info
mediven angio is designed with foot protection in mind, but compression is not appropriate for everyone with arterial disease. If you have reduced circulation (e.g. PAD), get a clinical evaluation before wearing.
Indicated for
- Chronic venous disease
- Mild to moderate chronic venous insufficiency (CVI)
- Mild to moderate venous edema
- Spider and varicose veins
- Tired, aching legs (helps prevent DVT)
Common use scenarios
- Extra foot protection over bony prominences
- Sensitive feet or at-risk skin
- Daily venous support with cushioned foot comfort
- Prolonged standing or walking
- Pressure relief at the foot
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 is mediven angio?
mediven angio is a venous compression stocking designed with arterial-sensitive patients in mind, featuring merino plush padding through the foot to protect bony prominences. It is offered in 15-20 and 20-30 mmHg.
Why is mediven angio recommended for patients with sensitive feet or circulation concerns?
Angio adds merino plush padding throughout the foot and ankle to reduce pressure on bony prominences, plus an extra-long flat seam that minimizes pressure points on the toes and feet. This foot protection is the line's defining safety feature for sensitive or at-risk feet.
What conditions is mediven angio used for?
Angio is indicated for chronic venous disease, mild-to-moderate chronic venous insufficiency, mild-to-moderate venous edema, spider and varicose veins, and tired, achy legs, and it helps prevent deep vein thrombosis. Its padded foot makes it a frequent choice when foot protection is a priority alongside venous support.
Is mediven angio safe if I have reduced circulation in my legs?
Angio is built with foot protection for at-risk feet, but anyone with reduced arterial circulation should be evaluated by a clinician before wearing any compression. Compression is not appropriate for everyone with arterial disease, confirm suitability with your provider first.
What is the solid rib structure on mediven angio for?
The solid rib structure provides an ideal ratio between resting and working pressure, so the stocking supports the leg effectively both at rest and in motion. A broad knitted top band adds a secure hold without digging in.
What does 15-20 mmHg compression treat?
15-20 mmHg is light, entry-level medical compression. It supports mild to moderate spider veins, early or symptomatic varicose veins, mild venous edema, and tired, achy, heavy legs. It's also commonly used for everyday prevention during long travel, prolonged standing or sitting, and pregnancy.
Do I need a prescription for 15-20 mmHg compression?
No. 15-20 mmHg is the lightest medical compression range and is available over the counter without a prescription in most regions. Higher compression levels (20-30 mmHg and above) are typically prescribed by a clinician for diagnosed conditions.
Can I wear 15-20 mmHg compression every day?
Yes. 15-20 mmHg is designed for daily wear and is well-suited to long days at work, travel, pregnancy, and general venous health maintenance. Replace your stockings every 3-6 months with regular use, as the compression fabric naturally loses elasticity over time.
Is 15-20 mmHg right for me if I'm new to compression?
15-20 mmHg is widely recommended as a starting point for first-time compression wearers. The light compression is comfortable enough for all-day wear while still providing meaningful support. If you've been prescribed a specific compression level, follow your clinician's guidance.
What's the difference between 15-20 mmHg and 20-30 mmHg?
15-20 mmHg is light compression suitable for mild symptoms and prevention; 20-30 mmHg is the most commonly prescribed therapeutic level, used for more pronounced varicose veins, moderate edema, post-sclerotherapy maintenance, and chronic venous insufficiency. If you're treating a diagnosed condition, your clinician will determine the appropriate level.
