Circular knitting versus flat knitting
Circular Knit mediven compression stockings are knitted on a circular cylinder and are seamlessly (Fig. At top right). The number of stitches of each row is identical. Shape and size of the stocking resulting from the variable mesh size and the different bias of the compression thread. It has a high stretchability and makes the sock so elastic. Due to the high static pressure, the action unfolds during long sitting or standing. The compression decreases from the ankle upwards from controlled and reduced the vein diameter. This close the lying in the venous valves again and bring the blood flow going. Swelling and feeling of tension may subside. Circular Knit mediven compression stockings are available in series sizes and made to measure (z. B. mediven elegance).
Flat Knitted mediven compression stockings are made to measure, knitted in rows (Fig. Bottom right) and then closed with a flat seam. The shaping of the stocking is carried out by waxing and waning of the mesh. The compression thread is biased uniformly and wrapped, the stockings are less stretchy and very stable wall. This settles the stocking over the skin wrinkles and does not constrict. The stronger material provides a flat and constant working pressure, unfolds especially in motion. Flat knitting is used in the treatment of Ödemerkrankungen. After treatment with the complex physical decongestive therapy (KPE) flat knitted compression stockings provide (z. B. mediven 550) that does not re-accumulates fluid in the tissues.
