Mediven Thrombexin 18 Compression Stockings: Premium Thrombosis Prevention
Mediven Thrombexin 18 hospital stockings are a leading solution for preventing venous thromboembolism (VTE) in hospital settings. Their precisely calibrated medical-grade compression (18-8 mmHg) optimizes blood flow, significantly reducing the risk of thrombophlebitis. A superior alternative to bandages, these stockings provide consistent, effective compression without the inconsistencies and potential tissue damage associated with manual bandaging. The advanced design ensures proper pressure distribution, eliminating the need for skilled application and maximizing comfort.

Sizing Guide:
Determining the correct size for Mediven Thrombexin 18 anti-embolic stockings is easy. Measurements are required for the circumference of the calf above the ankles (measurement b), the widest part of the calf (measurement c), and the upper thigh 5cm below the groin (measurement g). A sizing chart (insert chart here) and a measuring tape with color-coded markings are available to simplify this process. Stockings are available in 9 sizes (silicone waistband), 4 sizes (waistband closure), and 5 sizes (calf-length). (Insert detailed sizing chart with images here)
