Compression - "a treatment of the gods"

About 3,000 years BC, the ancient Egyptians already knew about the healing effect of compression. In the manuscripts that have survived until today, Egyptian doctors described the unusual success of the treatment, but could not explain the cause exactly. Thus, they attributed the healing action to the Gods. 

For instance, Egyptian mythology tells us that the beautiful goddess Isis applied a bandage to Osiris to heal his terrible wounds and to breathe new life into him.

The myth lives on

This myth, which is thousands of years old, lives on today: in modern mediven compression therapy. 

Our limited edition is adorned by the Isis mark, in the form of the tendril, an image full of symbolism. The divine union of Isis & Osiris culminated in the deity Horus. This is why the famous Eye of Horus - still said today to have protective and healing effects - graces the topband specially developed by medi.

Please note: The mediven elegance Isis is available in selected countries only.
