Mediven Thrombexin 18 is a clinical compression stocking used for the prevention of venous thromboembolism in the hospital setting. 

Immobile patients have special needs during their hospital stay: muscle pump inactivity reduces the velocity of venous outflow, resulting in an increased risk of venous thromboembolism and postoperative or post-traumatic edema formation. The use of back compression has an impact on increasing the velocity of venous flow, thus preventing thrombus formation and reducing edema.

The high elasticity and particularly soft, breathable mesh provide a high level of comfort. The smart silicone band allows you to confirm that you have chosen the right size and provides a secure hold. The color-coding system and smart band are an important aid in selecting the correct size and make it easier to put the sock on. The mark on the heel ensures the correct positioning of the mediven® thrombexin® 18. The heel, with its velvety inner surface, reduces the risk of pressure ulcers forming. The highly breathable mesh allows moisture to be actively transported from the inside to the outside, reducing the risk of maceration.

Indications:

Contraindications (absolute):

Severe occlusive peripheral arterial disease (IPTB < 0.5, ankle artery pressure < 60 mmHg, toe pressure < 30 mmHg or TcPO2 < 20 mmHg instep).
Decompensated heart failure (NYHA III + IV).
Septic phlebitis and phlegmasia cerulea dolens and severe leg edema.

Contraindications (relative):

Exudative dermatosis.
Intolerance to compression material.
Severe paresthesia of the lower limbs.
Advanced peripheral neuropathy and chronic primary polyarthritis.

To choose your size correctly, measure your legs. Each size is associated with a color. 

Elastic stockings are a medical device in which only by taking measurements can the clinically correct compression be achieved on the entire leg. Wearing one size bigger or smaller than the correct one will only make the wearer worse, take unnecessary risks, and lead to serious problems that are completely avoided by wearing the right size! Don't play with your health! Consult the article's table of measurements.

Instructions for taking measurements:

Measurements should always be taken first thing in the morning, the person should be standing with legs apart and weight distributed over both legs. For a Thrombexin stocking, you only need to take 4 measurements: Ankle, calf, two fingers below the knee area (cD) and leg height (see the measurement table for where to take these measurements).
