Herzog Compression Socks: now officially rewarded with a unique medical quality mark

Compression is not just compression

Nowadays you see compression socks everywhere: in bright colors and beautiful designs... There are many suppliers because it is clear: compression is hot! Unfortunately, in many cases these are socks that are successful in terms of marketing, but whose operating principle has no foundation whatsoever. Unlike many compression providers, Herzog Medical has been in consultation with knitting masters, (para)medics, scientists and (top) athletes since 2001. Our further developments have always emerged from scientific studies. That is precisely why we are very proud that we can now promote the official MDR label.

What does MDR actually mean?

MDR stands for'Medical Device Regulation'. When you sell MDR products, you have a CE quality mark and as a manufacturer you can only make claims that are scientifically substantiated. MDR products have been thoroughly tested by the government and meet very strict requirements with regard to statements you make about your products. Herzog Medical is the pioneer in the field of compression. Our stockings were developed in 2001 from Therapeutic Elastic Stockings (TEK) and our further developments have always been accompanied by scientific studies. The large-scale user study by Franke, TPC, Backx, FJG (2021) recently published inBMC Sports Science, Medicine and Rehabilitationconfirms what we have been promoting for over 20 years.
