A sock (1) for patient use comprises a mesh structure (2) flexible at least in its transverse direction. The mesh structure (2) comprises single-element monofilaments (3, 3a, 3b), adapted in at least two layers so that the monofilaments (3a, 3b) of each layer are adapted mutually substantially parallel and crosswise in relation to the monofilaments of the subsequent layer, and each monofilament is at each intersecting point (4) where the monofilament intersects the monofilament of the subsequent layer welded to the intersecting monofilament of the subsequent layer,
