• Please never repair your stockings
yourself or have them repaired by a
different service provider - this
impairs the quality, safety and
efficacy of the medical device. We
offer to have repairs to medi products
carried out by our specialist staff as
long as the work and the costs are in
reasonable proportion to the
condition of the goods and become
necessary within the useful life (= 6
month wearing period).

waistband from your medical retailer
on request.

the cuff and adjust to fit your waist.
Application instructions
for open-toed compression stockings
and the Easy-On Slipper
• Ideally you should put on your
mediven compression stocking first
thing in the morning, immediately
after getting up.
• Place your foot in the medi "Easy-On
slipper" supplied.
• Gather up the leg section and slip the
stocking over the „Easy-On slipper"
and up the leg, smoothing it up
evenly. Make sure that the stocking is
not twisted or unduly stretched.
• To remove the „Easy-On slipper" from
the stocking, draw the stocking up
from the toes towards and over the
heel. Avoid creases as they could
result in painful constrictions.
The „Easy-On slipper" can now be
removed easily.
• Now pull the forefoot part of the
stocking back over the heel and foot
and smooth it out evenly towards
the toes.
• Ensure that the heel of the stocking is
correctly positioned.

and in stages, without twisting
the fabric, pulling it at the edges,
or stretching the stocking along

and distribute the stocking down
evenly with the palm of your hand
until it fits perfectly.
