Special cases
We must ask you if you suffer from arterial disease, diabetes or peripheral neuropathy. If you do then before you order you should ask your doctor whether it is advisable for you to wear a compression stocking providing 18-21mm mercury pressure at the ankle.
If you have previously suffered from a thrombosis it is also advisable to consult your GP as it may be advisable to wear a higher compression sock or stocking. Additionally if you have an ongoing medical condition you should consult your GP before flying.
If you have varicose veins on the upper part of your leg or particularly behind the knee then before purchasing mediven® travel socks, which are only knee length, you are advised to consider wearing thigh length stockings. Our Travel Customer Service Department will assist you but you may need to see your GP.
Finally if your ankles are of greatly different sizes you may need to purchase 2 pairs of travel socks, one for the right and one for the left leg. The customer service team can advise you if you have the measurements ready.
