- They support the natural blood circulation, so the blood flows back to the heart against gravity instead of pooling in the legs.
The lack of physical exercise during a journey exerts constant high pressure on the venous system. The venous valves no longer close perfectly and the blood circulation slows down. The legs become heavy and tired – in the worst case, traveller’s thrombosis may develop. medi travel socks have been specially developed to keep the veins in shape during long periods of sitting or standing. They support the natural blood circulation, so the blood flows back to the heart against gravity instead of pooling in the legs.
Features:
- Controlled pressure gradient, decreasing upwards.
- Knee stocking in semitransparent-look.
- Can reduce the risk of traveller’s thrombosis
- Climafresh-System: prevents colonisation by micro-organisms and bacteria on the leg and foot – perfect for sustained use.
- Clima-Comfort technology: for reliable wicking of moisture from the skin through the stocking to the outside.
- Can be machine washed and tumble dried.
- Toe: closed
