Maternity
Pregnancy puts distinct loads on the body, and this collection gathers the products that answer each one. Rising blood volume and pressure on the veins bring heavy, swollen legs — maternity compression pantyhose from Bauerfeind and mediven (20-30 and 30-40 mmHg) are built with a panel that grows with the belly. The shifting weight strains the lower back and pelvis — Bauerfeind's Spinova Mum and SacroLoc and medi's Lumbamed Maternity support both. And fluid retention can compress the nerve at the wrist, causing pregnancy-related carpal tunnel symptoms — which is why wrist braces from Bauerfeind, medi and Actimove are here too.
All of it is measurement-sized and designed to be worn through pregnancy, and the compression garments in particular are commonly reimbursed by Canadian extended health benefit plans with a prescription.
