Compression stockings encircle the leg from the outside, exerting pressure on the tissue and veins. This pressure relieves the veins and lymphatic vessels by reducing the flow of fluid from the capillaries into the tissue, and compresses the venous vessels to a smaller diameter, allowing the defective venous valve to close again and function as a regurgitation valve. The external pressure also increases blood flow and promotes venous return to the heart.

Here’s what our customers say

When my son had a serious sports accident, we were sent from the hospital to Orthopädie Scharpenberg because we needed an orthosis. We were given a very warm welcome, hardly had to wait at all, and the product was explained to us very clearly. We received excellent care in every respect.

We offer flat-knit or circular-knit compression stockings

In circular knitting, compression stockings are knitted seamlessly from the toe to the cuff. The stitch size can be adjusted as desired, and a single stocking can be woven with different circumferences. The larger the stitches, the lower the pressure. Circularly knitted stockings have high elasticity.

With a flat knitting machine, the stitch size remains constant, and different circumferences are produced by changing the number of stitches. A flat-knitted compression stocking is less elastic.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should you wear compression stockings?

Compression stockings can be worn particularly for conditions such as varicose veins, thrombosis, or lymphedema. They are also recommended for prevention, for example, during prolonged sitting or standing, long journeys, pregnancy, or while playing sports.

Do compression stockings help with heavy, tired legs?

Yes, compression stockings promote blood circulation in the legs thanks to their controlled pressure gradient. This relieves the feeling of heaviness and prevents swelling. This is ideal for prolonged standing or sitting, or for those with venous insufficiency.

Are compression stockings also available in fashionable designs?

Absolutely! Compression stockings are now available in many colors, materials, and lengths, from inconspicuous to stylish. Modern models combine medical function with a fashionable look and comfortable wear.

How do I find the right size for compression stockings?

The fit is crucial for the effect. Our specialists at the medical supply store take precise measurements to find stockings in the right compression class and size for you, individually and precisely tailored to your needs.

Are compression stockings covered by health insurance?

If medically necessary and with a corresponding doctor’s prescription, health insurance companies usually cover a large portion of the costs. We are happy to assist you with the submission process and explain the next steps.
