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 for men?
mediven for men is a venous compression dress sock line styled to look like everyday men's hosiery, available in two patterns: classic (a refined dress-sock look) and select (a casual pattern with an extra-wide mediGrip® top band). Both deliver graduated medical compression in discreet, wardrobe-friendly colors.
What's the difference between for men classic and for men select?
Classic is a professional dress-sock design with a lanolin blend for premium softness, while select uses a casual pattern with soft, plush fabric and a soft extra-wide mediGrip® top band for a stay-put fit. Both share anatomical left/right foot shaping and Acu-Knit® construction; the choice is dress versus casual styling.
Will mediven for men look like regular men's socks?
Yes, that is the design intent. classic reads as a professional dress sock and select as a casual patterned sock, both offered in neutral menswear colors (tan, grey, navy, brown, black) so they blend into a normal wardrobe.
What is the anatomical left and right foot design?
Each sock is shaped specifically for the left or right foot rather than a single symmetrical shape, which gives a closer, more comfortable fit with less bunching. Look for the right/left markings when putting them on.
Does mediven for men come in tall or extra-wide sizing?
Yes, for men is offered in calf and calf-tall lengths, with extra-wide calf options for fuller calves. Measure your calf circumference and length against the size chart to choose the right combination.
What does 8-15 mmHg compression do?
8-15 mmHg is the lightest compression range, used for everyday leg fatigue, minor swelling, and prevention rather than treatment of venous disease. It provides a gentle, supportive feel for tired, achy legs.
Do I need a prescription for 8-15 mmHg?
No, 8-15 mmHg is generally available over the counter and is the entry point for compression. It is intended for mild support and prevention, so most people can wear it without a clinician's fitting.
Who should choose 8-15 mmHg?
8-15 mmHg suits people who stand or sit for long periods, travelers, and anyone wanting light relief from tired, heavy legs or minor end-of-day swelling. If you have diagnosed venous disease or significant swelling, a clinician may recommend a firmer level.
Is 8-15 mmHg strong enough to treat varicose veins?
8-15 mmHg is generally used for prevention and mild symptom relief rather than treating established varicose veins. For visible or symptomatic varicose veins, clinicians more often recommend 15-20 mmHg or higher.
