How often should I wear my
compression stocking?
Daily, daily, daily! There is no alternative
if you want to achieve the best possible
treatment results.
Your stockings are indispensable if you
sit or stand a lot. On journeys the
stocking helps safeguard against
dangerous travellers' thrombosis, which
even healthy people sometimes suffer.
Note:
Put your mediven compression stockings
or pantyhose on as soon as possible after
getting up in the morning.
