Postpartum Vein Health: Supporting New Moms Beyond Birth 💗

Postpartum care is about so much more than physical recovery — it’s about supporting a new mom’s entire well-being.
Between sleepless nights, feeding schedules, and learning life with a newborn, it’s easy for mothers (especially first-time moms) to put their own health on the back burner.

While postpartum challenges like fatigue, mood changes, or infections are commonly discussed, one topic often overlooked is postpartum vein health.
After childbirth, the risk of developing blood clots remains elevated for up to 12 weeks, making circulation support an essential part of recovery.

So, what can new moms do to support healthy veins and reduce the risk of clotting after birth?

🔹 Start slow with movement: Gentle activity promotes circulation. Begin with light walking and gradually increase movement as recovery progresses.
🔹 Sit smart: Elevate your legs when resting to help blood flow efficiently back to the heart — and avoid crossing your legs for long periods.
🔹 Wear compression stockings: Medical-grade compression supports circulation, reduces swelling, and helps ease leg discomfort or varicose veins.
🔹 Maintain healthy weight and hydration: Nourishing your body post-delivery helps relieve extra pressure on your veins.
🔹 Consider massage therapy: Gentle massage boosts circulation and promotes relaxation — both beneficial for vein health and stress relief.

What to watch for:
Some postpartum vein issues, such as varicose veins, can often be managed conservatively. However, two more serious conditions may develop:

Superficial Vein Thrombosis (SVT): A clot near the surface of the leg that may cause pain or redness. While usually not life-threatening, any pain should be checked by a healthcare provider.

Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT): A clot in the deeper veins of the leg, often accompanied by pain, swelling, or heaviness. DVT is a medical emergency and requires prompt treatment.

Being proactive about postpartum vein health helps protect your overall recovery — allowing you to care for your baby while caring for yourself.

Remember: the stronger and healthier you feel, the better you can show up for your little one in the days, weeks, and years ahead. 💕

15 years of medi for help – from Germany to Rwanda 💗🌏

In the summer, Anne-Kathrin Berghammer from the medi Global Education Team swapped her desk for everyday life in Rwanda. On her first assignment with medi for help, medi's non-profit aid organization, she saw how severely podoconiosis affects the lives of young women in particular – and how much courage it takes to fight it. But what moved her most was seeing how patients who were initially hesitant gradually regained hope and their smiles through therapy, education and confidence. ✨ 🎬 In the video, Anne-Kathrin shares this personal medi for help moment with us – take a look now!

Growing new life is beautiful — but it’s also hard work. 🩷

Gentle, medical-grade compression can make a real difference: improving circulation, easing swelling, and helping your legs feel lighter all day long.

Because taking care of yourself is the best way to care for the little one on the way. ✨

Less is more – especially when it comes to classics! ✨

Simple midi or knee-length dresses are real all-rounders. A well-fitting blazer and loafers are ideal for the office, but you can also style an everyday look with sneakers, a denim jacket and a backpack.

The Sweet Science of Healing: Manuka Honey in Wound Care 🍯

Who doesn’t love a little honey? It’s sweet, natural, and soothing — but did you know it can also help heal?
Specifically, Manuka honey, a unique variety made by bees from the nectar of New Zealand’s Manuka bush (Leptospermum scoparium). For centuries, the Māori people have used Manuka for its natural healing properties, and today, its medical benefits are well established in wound care.

So what makes Manuka honey so powerful?

🔹 Promotes a healthy wound environment
Manuka honey contains Methylglyoxal (MGO), a key healing compound that supports long-lasting antibacterial protection — with wear times of up to 7 days. Its naturally low pH helps prevent bacterial growth, supports oxygenation, and promotes faster healing.

🔹 Helps control odor
Bacteria often cause unpleasant wound odors. Manuka honey changes that — its sugars redirect bacteria away from wound tissue, converting odor-causing byproducts into non-odorous lactic acid. The result? Better wound health and improved patient confidence.

🔹 Supports gentle debridement
The natural sugars in honey draw fluid from the wound bed, a process known as the osmotic effect. This helps safely remove dead tissue while keeping the wound moist — a key factor for healing.

🔹 Encourages tissue repair
That same osmotic action also helps rehydrate tissue and stimulate cell growth, encouraging granulation and epithelialization — the formation of new, healthy skin.

At medi®, we’re proud to offer the Advancis® Activon range — made with 100% pure, medical-grade Manuka honey.
Available in both tube and tulle formats, Activon supports every stage of wound healing — from initial presentation to closure.

✅ No added heat or processing
✅ Verified by independent testing in the UK
✅ Designed to maintain a moist wound environment and promote faster healing

Safe Compression for Complex Conditions: mediven® angio

Compression therapy is the gold standard for managing venous disease, helping improve circulation and reduce swelling.
But for patients with chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), blood flow back to the heart is often impaired due to weakened valves — causing pooling and discomfort in the legs.

As we age, co-morbidities such as diabetes mellitus type 2 and Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) become more common, and with them, additional considerations for compression safety.
Patients with severe CVI may not be suitable for compression, but those with mild-to-moderate CVI can still benefit — with the right compression option.

So, what are the risks?
🔹 Diabetes mellitus type 2 can cause circulation problems and reduced sensation in the feet, meaning patients may not feel excessive pressure. Using compression with too high a working pressure can increase the risk of skin damage.
🔹 PAD narrows the arteries, reducing blood flow to the limbs. This restriction can cause soft tissue atrophy and, in severe cases, open wounds.

The key is finding compression that supports without compromising safety — and that’s where medi® makes the difference.

The mediven® angio is specifically designed for patients with mild-to-moderate diabetes or PAD, combining effective compression with clinically proven safety.

In a medi® clinical study of 94 patients wearing mediven angio in 15–20 mmHg and 20–30 mmHg classes:
✔️ Microcirculation remained stable and comparable to healthy patients
✔️ No adverse skin effects were reported
✔️ Patients rated comfort as good to very good

What makes mediven angio different:

Broad top band for a secure, gentle fit

Solid ribbed design for the perfect balance of working and resting pressure

Extra-long flat toe seam to minimize pressure on sensitive areas

Merino plush foot padding for superior comfort and protection

Safe. Effective. Comfortable.
The mediven® angio makes compression therapy possible — and safe — for patients with more complex vascular conditions.
