What is mediven plus?

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 30-40 mmHg compression treat?
30-40 mmHg is a strong therapeutic compression range used for severe varicose veins, significant edema, healed venous ulcers, and chronic venous insufficiency. It is a clinician-directed level for more advanced venous conditions.
Do I need a prescription for 30-40 mmHg?
Yes, 30-40 mmHg is firm medical compression that should be prescribed and fitted by a clinician. Accurate measurement is important at this level for both effectiveness and safety.
Is 30-40 mmHg hard to put on?
Higher compression is firmer and takes more technique to apply, which is why mediven uses Acu-Knit® construction and offers donning aids to make it manageable. A donning aid or rubber gloves can make application much easier, ask your provider for guidance.
Can anyone wear 30-40 mmHg?
No, firm compression at this level is not appropriate for everyone, particularly people with significant arterial disease or certain other conditions. A clinician should confirm that 30-40 mmHg is safe and appropriate before you wear it.
