Medical compression stockings are medical aids prescribed as required by the doctor and ordered through the specialist retailer after accurate measurement of the legs.

Successful provision of medical compression stockings for venous disorders depends on a number of important individual factors: The first requirement is that the patient recognises the symptoms and goes to see the doctor. The doctor diagnoses the problem and decides on the correct treatment. If the doctor prescribes medical compression stockings, the patient takes the prescription to the specialist retail outlet, where the legs are measured. Advice is given on the appropriate aids so that the patient can make an informed decision on which product to select. However, this is not the end of the story – resupply is just as important. Patients can go to their doctor every six months to discuss their vein problems and a decision will be taken on the need for further supply. The health insurance provider will then bear the majority of the cost.

There are circumstances, known as contraindications, in which compression stockings should not be worn, for example, in the event of arterial disease (high blood pressure, intermittent claudication). Only the doctor can decide on whether a medical compression stocking can and should be worn.
