Collection: Medical socks

Our compression socks are medically certified (MDR) and fit seamlessly around the lower leg. They help with various complaints such as edema, varicose veins, or recovery after exercise or surgery.

Waarom medische compressiesokken?

De Herzog PRO Compressiekousen zijn medisch gecertificeerd geven een gecontroleerde, geleidelijk afnemende druk vanaf de enkel richting het been. Hiermee ondersteunen ze de bloedcirculatie en kunnen ze helpen bij klachten zoals vermoeide, zware of gezwollen benen. De nauwsluitende pasvorm biedt gerichte ondersteuning en maakt de sokken geschikt voor dagelijks gebruik, bijvoorbeeld tijdens langdurig zitten, staan of lopen.

What is the difference between medical compression stockings and regular support stockings for edema?

Medical compression stockings – such as those from Herzog – have compression pressure class 2, for helpful pressure distribution against edema complaints and areMDR approved.

They provide targeted support for fluid retention and stimulate blood circulation. Regular compression stockings often have lower, less targeted pressure and are more suitable for light support without a medical indication.

What is the difference between support stockings and medical compression stockings for varicose veins?

Compression stockings provide light, generalized pressure. Medical compression stockings, such as those from Herzog, have a precise pressure distribution that tapers from ankle to knee. This makes them more effective for varicose vein complaints. Our PRO Compression stockings fall into the medical category and are suitable for both preventing and relieving existing varicose vein complaints.

Why do athletes choose medical compression stockings for calf problems?

Medical compression stockings offer controlled pressure gradient and higher compression pressure than many regular sports compression stockings. This allows them to provide extra support to the calf muscles during exercise and recovery.
