Safety in treatment, right down to the toes.
mediven angio knee-high stockings in 20-30 mmHg are graduated compression stockings designed with built-in foot protection for sensitive and at-risk feet. They help manage moderate varicose veins, moderate leg swelling, and early chronic venous insufficiency, and support recovery after sclerotherapy or other vein procedures, 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 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.
