Mediven Travel Socks – reduces the risk of thrombosis
Travel involves long periods of sitting. The result: the
circulation slows down, and the blood's tendency to clot increases (risk of
thrombosis). The risk of thrombosis also affects people with healthy veins.
Mediven Travel Socks have been specially developed for the reduction of
traveler's thrombosis.

How does Mediven Travel work?
Mediven travel exerts accurately dosed and defined pressure
on the tissues of the calf, which is furthest from the
heart. The pressure diminishes evenly from the foot upwards
to the knee. This dosed compression reduces the diameter of
the veins, which in turn accelerates the flow of blood back
toward the heart. The blood can no longer coagulate so
easily.
Every small movement you make while wearing Mediven travel
also reinforces the "pump effect" of the calf muscles, which
is also helped by the stocking's mode of action.
Active prophylaxis against travel thrombosis
Flying increases the risk of thrombosis:
applies equally to first, business, and economy
class passengers
insufficient fluids cause the blood to thicken
drinking alcohol causes the body to lose water
low relative humidity dries the body out
Deadly hazard in the luggage: A study has led doctors
to believe that over 2,000 airline passengers die every year
in Britian from the so-called "economy class syndrome"
What can you do before embarking?
Do not drink any alcohol on the evening before your
journey.
Do not take any sedatives that reduce movement
during the flight.
