What does ‘Class 2’ mean for compression stockings? 

Compression class 2 is the second level in the scale of medical compression stockings and exerts a pressure of 23-32 mmHg. This stronger compression is specially designed to support blood circulation in the legs for moderate to severe vein problems. It reduces swelling, relieves pain and helps to promote venous return. Class 2 compression stockings are therefore an excellent choice for people who need more intensive support for their legs, especially with advanced symptoms of venous disorders. 

Areas of application and target group 

Class 2 compression stockings are intended for people who suffer from moderate to severe vein problems. The most common areas of application include: 

  • Varicose veins: Class 2 stockings can help to regulate the pressure in the veins and alleviate discomfort, particularly in the case of pronounced varicose veins. 
  • Chronic venous insufficiency: With this condition, blood circulation does not function optimally, which leads to swelling and pain. The stronger class 2 compression supports the veins to improve blood flow. 
  • Heavy legs: People who regularly suffer from heavy, tired legs or swelling will benefit from targeted class 2 compression. 
  • Post-operative use: Following surgery on the veins or legs, Class 2 compression stockings can support healing and reduce the risk of complications such as thrombosis. 

How many hours a day can compression stockings be worn? 

The duration of wearing class 2 compression stockings depends on the individual situation and should ideally be discussed with a doctor. As a rule, however, these stockings can be worn for up to 8-10 hours a day, especially during work or when standing or sitting for long periods. It is important to adjust the stockings regularly and, if necessary, to take breaks when wearing them for longer periods of time so as not to put unnecessary strain on the blood circulation. Medical advice is also recommended for overnight use. 

Models from medi: comfort and variety for every requirement 

The Class 2 compression stockings from medi offer a wide range of models to suit different needs and preferences. All models are characterised by an excellent fit, comfort and effective support

Available variants include class 2 compression stockings with a silicone top band, which ensure a secure fit and prevent slippage during wear. These are ideal for everyday use and for people who need stable support. For those who don't want to compromise on style even with compression, medi offers elegant models with a transparent look and a particularly soft, elasticated toe section

For more intensive support up to the waist, there are models with a waist attachment that stabilise not only the legs but also the abdominal area. Those looking for particularly easy handling will find a practical solution in the 2-piece systems, as these stockings are easy to put on and offer strong compression at the same time.
