Medical Stockings
Men are keen on stylish health.
About every fourth male person suffers from venous problems. Max have been developed for men on the basis of how they look.
Word has got around among frequent flyers that support and compression stockings support the function of veins and are recommended for those who need to sit for long periods of time. But less known is the fact that a medical prescription for compression stockings does not mean that one is condemned to wearing flesh coloured rubber stockings. Men, in particular, often have reservations about wearing compression stockings. This need not be because today compression stockings are no longer distinguishable from other types of stocking.
And more: compression stockings are in fact comfortable to wear because the medical pressure gradation from the bottom of the leg to the top makes the stocking fit comfortably and effectively. Besides the cuff does not pinch the calf.
Comfort and function.
Max combine a discreet appearance with the highest efficacy. consequently, you don’t notice the stocking’s efficacy but you feel it. Thanks to the high cotton content of 50% the stocking for men convince throughout the day because of their wearing comfort, their look and their healthy efficacy.
Quality
Max medical stockings accredited the ecolabel

The Öko-Tex Standard 100 is a worldwide uniform testing and certification system for raw, semi-manufactured and finished textile products covering all processing stages.
The tests for harmful substances cover legally banned and regulated substances, chemicals known to be a health risk and parameters for health care.
Allocation of a tested textile product to one of the four Öko-Tex product classes is based on the textile’s use. The more intensive the skin contact of a product is, the stricter the requirements in terms of human ecology. More information:

Ofa Bamberg offers you the best possible quality. The use of skin friendly substances is of course an integral part of our philosophy. Our compression stockings meet the strict guidelines of the eco-label.
HOSY –
we ensure a consistently high quality standard
Since 1991 we have owned one of only 11 measuring systems for compression stockings existing worldwide – the HOSY (Hohensteinsystem) testing equipment for compression products. Ofa was the first German manufacturer to operate the system in house with the aim of conducting regular tests and checks that go beyond the prescribed standard. The equipment tests the compression performance of stockings of any kind or size and is used in product development and quality control.
