The economic, simple and safe clinical compression
A recent study (1) from 2018 confirms that the clinical compression stocking emdiven struva offers valuable benefits in therapy:
• Significantly improved health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in the following dimensions during the acute phase of therapy compared to multilayer short- stretch bandages (p = 0.015):
- Mobility
- Self-sufficiency
- General activities
- pain / physical complaints
- fear / depression
• Economical: 40 percent savings in average weekly material costs compared to multilayer short-stretch compression bandaging
Conclusion of the authors: Compression hosiery is a relatively cheap, easy to use and safe alternative to multilayer bandaging in all patients. Therefore, both from both a patient perspective and an economic perspective, compression hosiery should be the preferred choice when initial compression is applied in unselected patients.

Intended purpose
In mobile patients, the calf muscle pump is active. Therefore, they benefit from a clinical compression stocking with high working pressure. It increases the flow rate of the blood - especially in the mobile phases. This provides effective therapy for acute thrombosis, chronic wounds and resulting pain as well as postoperative and posttraumatic oedema. The mediven struva 35 is particularly suitable for more serious venous diseases.
