Open or closed, with toe compartment or relief zones: That feeling of comfort in medical compression stockings
Every foot is different: Depending on the anatomy and disease in question, patients have different requirements for the foot section of medical compression stockings – for example, in cases of
- hallux valgus (ganglion of the big toe),
- bunionettes (ganglion of the little toe)
- or hammer toe.
That is why medi offers different toe section variants: Individual designs can facilitate the therapeutic process with medical compression stockings. Talk to your doctor. Your doctor may note a toe section variation on the prescription if deemed medically necessary.
Should you have any questions, please contact your medical supply store. The specialist will be happy to help you.
