IntroductionVenous and lymphatic disorders are chronic conditions which will worsen over time without appropriate treatment. Using Quality compression can help improve and prevent further deterioration.
medi UK offer a comprehensive range ofoff-the-shelf garments. However, some patients require made to measure compression and we are pleased to offer round knit and flat knit options on prescription (FP10/GP10).
The m2m booklet describes fabrics and styles available.

RAL compression classesmedi m2m garments comply with the strict standards that are laid down by the 'Reichs-Ausschuss für Lieferbedingungen' (RAL) Institute. This is the gold standard for compression garments. All medi m2m garments are guaranteed to provide effective compression for 6 months of daily use if used and laundered correctly.
Selection of the correct compression class (CCL) will help to ensure that your patients receive a garment that is suited to their condition:
RAL compression class 1 (18 – 21 mmHg)Prevention or early treatment of lymphoedema, venous disease and for use on palliative limbs.
RAL compression class 2 (23 – 32 mmHg)Mild / moderate lymphatic conditions, pronounced varicosis with oedema present and after healing minor ulcers.
RAL compression class 3 (34 – 46 mmHg)Lymphoedema, significant varicosis or after healing long standing ulcers; use if condition fails to respond to class 2.
Contraindications:According to the guidelines of the German Phlebological Society (published in 1996, German Journal ’Phlebologie‘)
Absolute contraindications:Advanced, peripheral arterial occlusive disease, decompensated heart disease, septic phlebitis,phlegmasia coerulea dolens.
Relative contraindications:Suppurative dermatoses, intolerance of compression stocking fabric, sensory disturbances of the limb, advanced peripheral neuropathy, primary chronic arthritis. medi assumes no liability as a result of any contraindicated use of this product.

Ordering made easy The made-to-measure (m2m) garments, options and colours featured are all available on prescription. Our aim is to ensure that they are manufactured and made available to your patients as soon as possible. The process for this is as follows:
1. Measure your patient and complete the relevant m2m form.2. Arrange for a prescription to be completed with the relevant codes and descriptions. All
garments are prescribed in single units, so for a pair of below knee stockings, please state either 1 pair or 2 items.
3. Add the codes and descriptions for any additional options that have been requested (ie add zip, add topband).
4. You and your patient then have 2 choices:
ROUTE A: ROUTE B:
Take both the measurement form and prescription to a local pharmacy for processing
Pharmacist orders from medi
Risk of lengthy delays in medi receivingmeasurement form from pharmacy
Product manufactured and sent to pharmacy for approval and collection
Post both the measurement form andprescription to medi using freepost prescription by post envelopes available from medi
Product manufactured by medi
Product checked by local pharmacy and posted either back to the clinic or directly to patient, whichever is requested
Route B is the quickest and also the simplest. Queries can be resolved directly and product is sent directly to clinic or directly to patient’s house.

Tips for measuring flat knit leg garmentsIn order to make an m2m garment we need to know the circumference measured at various points on the limb and exactly where they were measured (the length from a known point). Circumference and length measurements are taken in a distal to proximal direction. The measuring points on the leg must be marked so that the circumference and length measurements are taken at the same location. Our measurement forms are designed to make this process as simple as possible. Other details that we require as a minimum are the compression class and colour.
1. Foot circumference
a) Leg is resting relaxed on a horizontal supportb) During this measurement, the foot is relaxed,
not held in a 90° positionc) Measure circumference according to whether an
oblique or straight border are required
2. Leg circumference
a) Leg is lying in a relaxed position on a support.b) For circumference measurement cY, flex foot in
dorsal direction to maximum extentc) Measure the remaining circumferences up to cF
with the leg in a relaxed positiond) For circumference measurement cE, bend knee
slightlye) Mark measuring points
3. Leg length
Proximal length measurements need to be taken along the inside of the leg while the patient is standing.
medi uses the measurement method according to the guidelines of the Federal Academy for Orthopaedic Technology in Dortmund.

4. Border on thigh
a) Measure circumference cG at the widest part on the thigh / below crotch

c) Measure lK2 from ground to gluteal fold along body with patient standing up ≙ posterior leg length
d) Measure lK1 from ground to symphysis along body with patient standing up ≙ anterior leg length (Difference between lK1 and lK2 ≙ high front / low back)
5. Waist / hip circumference / length
a) Measure circumference cK with patient standing up at the widest section around both thighs below the gluteal fold
b) Measure circumference cH with patient standing up at the widest section of the hips
c) Measure circumference cT with patient standing up at the waist or the desired border
d) Measure length lH along body up to desired height = Exterior leg length
6. Waist / hip lengths
a) Measure anterior pelvic height lK1T along body from crotch (symphysis) to waist or desired height
b) Measure posterior pelvic height lK2T along body from gluteal fold to waist or desired height

Tips for measuring round knit leg garments
l A
c A
cA, lA, lZ Take circumferential measure-ment cA just behind the joint at the base of the toes where the little toe begins. The length of the foot for open toe stockings is determined by the length measurement lA which is measured from the ridge of the heel to measurement point cA. The length of the foot for closed toe stockings is measured from the ridge of the foot to the tips of the toes. (lZ-measure-ment)
c YcY Take the circumferential measurement cY, around the heel and the instep, with the foot in maximum dorsal extension.
l B
c B
cB, lB Take the circumferential measurement cB and length measurement lB at the narrowest circumference of the leg below the knee, directly above the ankle. This measurement above the ankle bones is especially important for selecting the stocking size, because the pressure here will be 100%.
c B1
l B1
cB1, lB1 The circumferential measure-ment cB1 and the length measurement lB1 are at the point where the calf begins, or at the transition point to the Achilles tendon.
l C
c C
l D
c D
cC, lC Take the cC and lC length measurements at the widest circumference of the calf.
cD, lD Take the circumference cD and length lD measurements about two fingerbreadths below the hollow of the knee at the level of the head of the fibula.
c E
l E
cE, lE The circumferential measurement cE is the circumference of the knee. Measure it below the hollow of the knee and all the way round, in the middle of the kneecap. The leg should be slightly bent. Take the length measurement lE when the leg is straight.
c F
l F
cF, lF Circumferential measurement cF and length measurement lF are located where the inner thigh muscle begins or in the middle of the thigh.
c Gl G
cG, lG Take the cG and length measurement lG about 3 cm below the crotch.
c K
cK Take the circumferential measurement cK at the height of the g measure-ment, around both legs.
l H
c H
cH, lH Take the circumferential measurement cH at hip level at the widest point of the buttocks.
l Tc T cT, lT
Take the circumferential measurement cT round the waist.
K1
c T
l K1T
Front panty top length Measure from the crotch to the waist. It is however more comfortable for the patient if you go 3cm to the side of the crotch and measure the panty top length from there.
c T
K2
l K2T
Back panty top length Measure from the gluteal fold to the waist. If the patient requests a longer or shorter panty top, you must measure to the length the patient requests. The “waist” point is only the standard length.
