Why medical compression socks?

The Herzog PRO compression socks are medically certified and provide controlled, gradually decreasing pressure from the ankle up the leg. This supports blood circulation and can help relieve symptoms such as tired, heavy, or swollen legs. The close-fitting design provides targeted support and makes the socks suitable for everyday use, for example during prolonged sitting, standing, or walking.

Veelgestelde vragen

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.
