- Skin-friendly: high breathability due to large-mesh fabric structure.
- Pressure stability: high recovery force due to natural rubber.
- Wear-resistant: up to 6 times better* abrasion results (* = less wear) in direct comparison with jeans (proven in wear tests).
- Follow the instructions for care on the packaging and/or the textile labels. Wash inside a mesh laundry bag. The stocking must be stored at room temperature and in a dry place away from light. Keep away from direct heat.
- For lymphedemas which regress easily and are soft; congestion and swelling following mammary amputation with and without postoperative radiation; post-traumatic and postoperative edemas following completion of basic treatment; polyarthritic tissue thickening; compression treatment for burns and for extensive scars; relapse prevention after successful decongestion with pronounced initial findings.

- Septic thrombophlebitis
- Compression of an existing arterial bypass (epifascial)
