Lauma Medical: Heritage, Innovation, and a Vision for Global Health in 2025 and Beyond

With more than 45 years of expertise, Lauma Medical has established itself as a trusted name in medical textiles across the Baltic States, Eastern Europe, and beyond. Renowned for their wide range of stretch bandages—from short to medium and high stretch—elastic waistbands, joint supports, pregnancy belts, and compression stockings, the company combines traditional craftsmanship with forward-looking innovation to improve health and wellbeing worldwide.

A Legacy of Quality and Natural Materials

Since its founding, Lauma Medical has remained committed to uncompromising quality. Most of its products are crafted from natural raw materials such as cotton and wool, chosen for their comfort and hypoallergenic properties. These fibers ensure skin-friendliness, minimizing irritation and dermatitis even with prolonged use. At the same time, the company’s advanced weaving technologies preserve elasticity and durability, making its products reliable tools for prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation across a wide range of medical conditions.

Lauma Medical also holds ISO 13485 certification, an international standard that specifies requirements for a quality management system in the design and manufacture of medical devices. This certification demonstrates the company’s compliance with strict regulatory requirements and its commitment to consistently providing safe and effective medical products.

Strength in Compression Therapy

Among Lauma Medical’s most valued innovations are its compression stockings—a key product category that plays a critical role in modern vascular therapy. Compression knitwear is widely recognized as one of the most effective and non-invasive methods for preventing and treating venous disorders, including varicose veins, chronic venous insufficiency, edema, and post-thrombotic syndrome.

Lauma Medical designs its compression stockings with a graded pressure system, meaning the greatest compression is applied at the ankle and gradually decreases up the leg. This physiological distribution of pressure supports blood circulation, reduces swelling, and alleviates discomfort caused by venous diseases.

Key benefits of Lauma Medical’s compression stockings include:

• Improved venous return, reducing the risk of blood clots (thrombosis)

• Relief from leg fatigue, heaviness, and swelling, particularly for people standing or sitting for long periods

• Enhanced post-surgical and post-sclerotherapy recovery

• Proactive prevention for high-risk groups such as pregnant women, frequent travelers, and athletes

To ensure maximum safety and performance, Lauma Medical’s stockings are crafted from advanced yarns such as bio-cotton, double-wrapped Lycra, and fabrics treated with silver ions for antibacterial protection and odor control. This combination prevents allergies, enhances durability, and ensures long-lasting comfort—even during daily wear. Patients and consumers can choose from a wide variety of compression levels and styles, ranging from medical-grade stockings to preventive options for everyday use.

Innovation Through Collaboration

What truly sets Lauma Medical apart is its close collaboration with healthcare professionals, institutions, patients, and athletes. By maintaining an open dialogue with end users, the company continuously adapts and refines its products to meet real-world needs. From enhancing the micro-massage effect in bandages to boost circulation, to improving thermal regulation in elastic belts, and refining compression garments for everyday wear, Lauma Medical consistently transforms experience and feedback into tangible health benefits.

Expanding Horizons: Japan and Medical Japan 2025

Looking to the future, Lauma Medical is strategically expanding its global reach, with particular focus on Japan—one of the world’s most advanced and patient-centered healthcare systems. The company’s participation in Medical Japan 2025, Asia’s premier trade fair for medical technology and innovation, reflects this ambition.

The event provides an invaluable opportunity for Lauma Medical to showcase its trusted product range—including its advanced compression therapy solutions—while engaging with new partners and exploring synergies between Japan’s technological leadership and Lauma Medical’s heritage of natural materials and craftsmanship.

Supported by Mugen Links in its participation, Lauma Medical is preparing to navigate the Japanese market with an understanding of local preferences and cultural nuances—building long-term collaborations that contribute to the healthcare ecosystem.

Commitment to Sustainability and Future Vision

In addition to quality and innovation, Lauma Medical embraces sustainability as a core value. By prioritizing natural, renewable raw materials and adopting cleaner production techniques, the company aligns with the global shift toward environmentally responsible healthcare products. Looking ahead, Lauma Medical is exploring new material innovations and expanding into broader health and physical activity sectors, ensuring its products continue to support both patient wellbeing and planetary health.

Moving Forward with Purpose

For nearly five decades, Lauma Medical has woven quality, reliability, and innovation into every bandage, brace, and compression stocking. As it steps confidently onto the global stage at Medical Japan 2025 and beyond, the company remains dedicated to its mission: ensuring freedom of movement, comfort, and improved health for patients worldwide. We sincerely hope this vision will continue to grow and reach even more people in the years ahead.
