Risks and side effects
The products may incur the following, especial-
ly if handled incorrectly: skin necrosis and pres-
sure damage to peripheral nerves. If your skin is
sensitive, the compressive equipment may
cause itchiness, peeling or signs of inflamma-
tion. Adequate skincare under the compression
stocking is therefore vital. Please comply with
the instructions for use and inspect your skin
each day, checking that your circulation is opti-
mal. If you experience the following symptoms,
the compression stocking should be removed
immediately and clinical advice should be
sought: Change in toe colour to blue or white,
new paraesthesia or numbness, an increase in
pain, shortness of breath, sudden sweating or
acute limitation of mobility.
Intended users and patient target groups
Healthcare professionals and patients, inclu-
ding persons who play a supporting role in
care, are the intended users for this device,
provided that the persons supporting carer has
received a briefing on this from healthcare
professionals. Healthcare professionals should
provide care to adults and children, applying
the available information on measurements/
sizes and required functions/indications, in
line with the information provided by the ma-
nufacturer, and acting under their own re-
sponsibility.
Instructions for use
Optimal care can only be provided if the
measurements are taken and applied correctly.
mediven® thrombexin® 18 and mediven®
thrombexin® 21:
The circumference of the ankle (cB) dictates
the size that must be selected. For the knee
stocking, the measurement of the calf circum-
ference (cC) confirms the correct size. For thigh
stockings, the selection of the size is confirmed
by the measurement of the thigh circumfe-
rence (cG), or this may indicate that an extra-
wide stocking is needed. In the interests of
better handling and legibility, measurements
for garments are given in whole centimetres.
Any potential gaps that may result from this
are covered by measurement and production
tolerances. The internationally recognised
rules for rounding apply for the measurements
(round down for numbers up to 4/10, round up
from 5/10). This was taken into account when
designing the paper measuring tapes provided
by the manufacturer.
mediven® struva® 23 and mediven® struva® 35:
The circumference of the ankle (cB) determines
the size that must be selected. For knee sto-
ckings, the measurement of the circumference
under the knee (cD) confirms the correct size.
For thigh stockings, the selection of the size is
confirmed by the under-the-knee circumfe-
rence (cD) and the measurement of the thigh
circumference (cG).
The products may only be used on intact skin
or if an appropriate wound dressing is in place,
and are suitable for use by multiple patients,
provided that they are cleaned in advance.
Contact with chemical substances (e.g. benze-
nes, methanols, salicylic acids in high concen-
trations) may impair the compressive function
of the products. Oils and ointments should not
be applied to the limb when compression sto-
ckings are used. Compression stockings with a
silicone top band can cause skin irritation in
people with sensitive skin (caused by perspira-
tion in combination with mechanical stress). In
order to prevent this, it is recommended that
the top band is repositioned slightly several
times throughout the day. If you experience
pain or increased skin irritation, take off the
compression stocking immediately and con-
sult your doctor or carer.
Length of time that compression clothing
should be worn and used for
Unless otherwise stipulated by your doctor,
you can wear the compression stocking day
and night in order to elicit optimal therapeutic
results. The compression stockings should be
changed as often as necessary. Under normal
circumstances, this should be every 3 days, at
the least. The compression stockings can be
laundered a maximum of 10 times.
Instructions for care
Launder according to the requirements of the
relevant Medical Device Directive and the rele-
vant national requirements for laundering me-
dical devices by regarding the following pre-
conditions:
• Wash at temperatures of up to 95° C
• Do not bleach
• Dry at temperatures of up to 80° C
• Do not iron
• Do not dry-clean
Damaged compression stockings must be re-
moved from circulation and can no longer be
used on patients for the set indications.
Storage
The products must be stored in a dry place and
out of direct sunlight.
In combination with other products
A combination of mediven® struva® 23 and me-
diven® struva® 35 with mediven® struva® fix
may be a good solution for holding wound dres-
sing material in place, but this can only be exe-
cuted with the approval of the doctor treating
you.
