IntroductionLymphoedema is a chronic condition which, if untreated, has the potential to deteriorate. One of the elements of successful treatment is the use of quality compression garments.

medi UK offers the most comprehensive range of sizes and styles off the shelf (OTS) of compression garments. However, we are aware that some patients require bespoke garments that address their individual physical requirements. Therefore we are able to offer a comprehensive made to measure (m2m) range.

This m2m booklet is designed to guide you through the process in order to choose the most effective m2m garment for your patient. In the back of the booklet you will find tables for your final choice of product summarising the available options and codes.

Overview of tailor made compression hosieryOur aim Our aim is to provide you with top quality made-to-measure garments that are both comfortable and effective for your patients. Each garment is tailor made specifically to your patients needs. Every m2m garment from medi UK is manufactured in Germany and we aim to get it to you as soon as possible. The time taken to do this will depend upon the complexity of the garment and the colour choice; our average turnaround is six working days for round knit garments, eight working days for flat knit – trend colours may take a little more time due to the extended dying process.

What we need from you to help make the perfect garment

Measurements A measurement form with all relevant parts completed. Accurate measurements are a very important part of this process and it is a combination of length and circumference measurements that will allow us to make a comfortable and effective garment. Medi m2m pads are supplied with a measuring guide, if you would like further details on how to measure accurately please contact your medi Account Manager or our team in Hereford.

Product details In addition to the measurements we need to know the fabric, style of garment , compression class and colour of the garment before we can start making it for you. If one or more of these details are missing we will have to come back to you for clarification and this may delay the manufacturing process. Our m2m forms are laid out to help make sure that these essential details are provided.

Optional extras These are extra items that may help your patient with their garment – for example a zip, a silicone top band or a silk lining. Sometimes it helps with complex requests if you send in a diagram or photograph with the order form; this will be passed to our manufacturing team to help us to get it right first time.

The Drug Tariff A selection of styles of mediven garments m2m are available on FP10/GP10. For further details please contact your Account Manager or our team in Hereford.

We are here to help. We understand m2m and take pride in providing all the support that you need to make the whole process as simple as possible for you and your patients. In addition to our dedicated Account Managers we have a specialist m2m team in Hereford who will be able to assist with technical questions. We also have a simple coding system to help you to identify the correct m2m code in your Procurement System. If you need any additional information, code lists, measurement pads or further support with m2m please contact your medi Account Manager or our Hereford team by telephone on 01432 373508, by email at [email protected] or by fax on 01432 373510. Further information can also be found on our website www.mediuk.co.uk/compression/made-to-measure.

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 class 1 (18 – 21mmHg)Prevention or early treatment of lymphoedema, venous disease and for use on palliative limbs.

RAL class 2 (23 – 32mmHg)Mild / moderate lymphatic conditions, pronounced varicosis with oedema present and after healing minor ulcers.

RAL class 3 (34 – 46mmHg)Lymphoedema, significant varicosis or after healing long standing ulcers; use if condition fails to respond to class 2.

RAL class 4 (min. 60 mmHg)Lymphoedema and elephantiasis.

Ordering Information

Where on the measurement form?

The ‘flat oblique’ is standard for all mediven garments. You do not need to make a selection on the measurement form.

Tips

medi always produces flat knit products with an oblique border.

The standard is ‘flat oblique’ = approx. 5% of the circumference. A ‘steep oblique’ = approx. 10% of the circumference and can be selected as an option. The obliques optimise the fit around the top of the thigh.

Where on the measurement form?

Mark ‘steep oblique’ with a cross.

Ordering Information

Tips

medi produces all flat knit garments with an ‘oblique foot border’. This guarantees the best possible fit to follow the anatomical line of the metatarsophalangeal joints. It also prevents constriction of the forefoot. The ‘oblique border’ is standard for both open and closed toes. The oblique border of the compressive knit is given by the difference between the medial foot length lAi and the lateral foot length lA. The largest possible oblique is 4 cm.

Where on the measurement form?

Mark ‘open’ or ‘closed’ toe with a cross.

Also please give the dimensions l Z (total length) lAi (medial length) lA (lateral length)

Tips

The incorporation of Y- knitting marks at the ankle holds the foot in about 90° flexion.

Where on the measurement form?

Mark ‘Y-knitting mark’ with a cross.

Tips

The long sole optimises the fit in the forefoot region. It can be advantageous where foot deformities such as hallux valgus or hammer toe are present.Knitting the compressive knit along the sole of the foot gives the stocking a circular grip at the metatarsophalangeal joints.This stops the foot section slipping back towards the heel.The length of the long sole depends on cA and is produced automatically.

Where on the measurement form?

Mark ‘Long sole’ field with a cross.

Tips

The ellipse form enhances comfort for people who spend most of their time sitting down. It compensates for the longer distance at the knee when sitting and thus reduces the pressure on the patella. Always give the measurement ‘l (length)back of the knee’. This is measured close to the body from the fold in the back of the knee to the heel with the patient standing. Note that lE must be at least 1 cm longer than ‘l (length) back of the knee’.Attention! For patients with voluminous knees (lipoedema) or a large cE measurement, the incorporation of ellipses increases wrinkling in the knee region. Wrinkles may also form below the patella. Do not use ellipses here.

Where on the measurement form?

Mark ‘Ellipse form’ with a cross. Please also show the height of the back of the knee separately.

Standard = 4 cm Minimum = 2 cm Maximum = 8 cm

Give any deviation from standard in cm in the field ‘Special request’.

Tips

This will be incorporated in the length measured - no additional measurement required.

Where on the measurement form?

Mark ’Soft toe’ with a cross.

Tips

Additional attachments for the thigh may be necessary due to large circumferences, lax connective tissue, deep skin and joint folds as well as conical and cylindrical limbs.

Tips

For AD stockings the incorporation of a zip on the inside of the leg is recommended – this zip fastener is similar to the zip on a boot. For AF-AG garments no zip should be sewn on the inside of the thigh. Zips on a pant section can be positioned either on the lateral seams or centrally on abdomen.

Tips

Please specify the length of the porous rows.

Where on the measurement form?

Please specify the type of top band.

Where on the measurement form?

Please specify the length of zip and its position (inclusion of a diagram or picture can be useful here).

Where on the measurement form?

Tick box under ‘Gusset’

Tips

During pregnancy, the circumference measurements of the legs show almost no changes if appropriate and optimum treatment is continued. In the abdominal area, however, sizes often change very rapidly. The gentle compression from the soft front panel is designed to accommodate this.

Where on the measurement form?

Mark the variantATU with a cross.

• 2 cm standard border in CG sleeves and AC hand parts.

Ease of handling of compression garment without the risk of congestion, correct pressure gradient for multi-part garments, optimum transition from compressed to uncompressed areas.

Tips

medi always produces flat knit products with an oblique border at the proximal end.

The standard is ‘flat oblique’ = approx. 5% of the circumference.A ‘steep oblique’ = approx. 10% of the circumference can be selected as an option.

Where on the measurement form?

Mark the ‘steep oblique’ field with a cross.

Tips

If you order a CG sleeve + AC1 hand part together on one measurement sheet, the overlap zone of the glove will automatically be made porous from C – C1. With individual or follow-up orders, you must give the desired ‘porous’ cm separately.

Where on the measurement form?

Please state ‘x cm porous’

Tips

In most cases, the standard 160° bend is adequate.

For patients with, for example, paralysis who constantly hold their arm close to the body in a flexed position, the sleeve may be ordered with an angle of 135°.

Where on the measurement form?

Tick the box if 135 is required

Tips

If local additional pressure is needed or if support is required to loosen fibrosis, we recommend the mediven 550 models. Lymph pads can be added at time of manufacturing or retrospectively.

Where on the measurement form?

Please mark the appropriate selection. Show desired position/area with length and width.

Tips

Please always give us the exact size and positioning of the lining material.

Lining material can also be sewn in later.

Where on the measurement form?

Please mark the appropriate selection. Show desired position/area with length and width.

Tips

For each model and each top band type medi uses the appropriate circumference conversion, i.e. the ’table measurements‘ for the top band are based on years of experience and numerous tests. If, in exceptional cases, it is necessary to fit a tighter or looser top band than usual, please show the appropriate circumference in cm after the variant.

Where on the measurement form?

Mark the required variant with a cross.

Tips

This additional top band can be incorporated as the only support or in addition to a topband. It can be incorporated at the time of manufacturing or retrospectively. For clients who cannot have the top band at ‘G1’, (particularly on the inside of the upper arm), this is the ideal support.

Where on the measurement form?

Mark the required variant with a cross.

Correct fitting of compression stockingsIn 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 model being fitted

2. Foot length

Open toe oblique border

a) Measure lengths on the inside and outside of weight-bearing foot

3. Foot length

Closed toe oblique border

a) Measure lengths on inside, outside and entire weight-bearing foot
