Serious edema containment, with the confidence of opaque coverage.
mediven plus open-toe knee-high stockings in 20-30 mmHg are durable, opaque graduated compression stockings engineered for reliable compression therapy. At 20-30 mmHg, the most commonly prescribed compression level, they help manage moderate varicose veins, moderate leg swelling, and early chronic venous insufficiency, and support recovery after sclerotherapy or other vein procedures.

The highly resistant, opaque fabric stays soft against the skin while delivering firm, accurate support that conceals bulging veins, blemishes, and ulcers. The open-toe design accommodates larger feet, toe sensitivity, and firm compression.

What is mediven plus?
mediven plus is a medical-grade venous compression line for moderate to more severe conditions, offered across a broad range of formats including calf, thigh, panty, and men's leotard. It provides enhanced containment in higher therapeutic compression levels.
How is mediven plus different from the fashion lines like comfort or sheer & soft?
Plus is a medical line built for stronger therapeutic needs and more extensive coverage, where comfort and sheer & soft are fashion lines aimed at lighter, everyday support. plus offers the broader garment formats (including panty and men's leotard) and the firmer compression ranges needed for moderate-to-severe symptoms.
What garment styles does mediven plus come in?
Plus is available in a wide range of formats including calf, thigh, panty, and men's leotard configurations, with open- and closed-toe options on many styles. The broad format range lets a clinician match coverage to where containment is needed.
Do I need a prescription for mediven plus?
Plus is typically offered in 20-30 mmHg and higher, which is generally prescribed and fitted by a clinician. Confirm the level and fit with your prescriber before ordering, especially for thigh and panty formats.
How does Acu-Knit® help with a firmer compression garment like plus?
Acu-Knit® creates an open mesh structure that keeps the compression profile accurate and consistent while remaining easier to apply and more breathable than a denser knit. That matters more at firmer levels, where compliance and accuracy are critical.
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.
