A two-component, latex-free leg ulcer kit. Comfort layer 1: a skin-friendly comfort layer made of foam padding with a soft cotton skin-protection layer that is applied directly to the skin to distribute compression evenly and combine well with emollients. Provides graduated compression and protects vulnerable areas. Compression layer 2: an inelastic cohesive compression layer for effective therapeutic compression.
Management of venous leg ulcers, with and without mild uncomplicated chronic oedema in both mobile and immobile patients. Suitable for patients with an ABPI >0.8–1.3. An ABPI of >1.3 requires further investigation before use (please refer to local guidelines).
Not recommended for: patients with ankle circumference, when protected with padding <18cm; patients with diabetes or rheumatoid arthritis, unless after specialist referral and under supervision, due to risk of microvascular disease; arterial disease (ischaemia) according to vascular assessment; ABPI of <0.8 or >1.3 unless after specialist referral and under supervision and regular follow-up; congestive heart failure, as compression could lead to cardiac overload; sensory disorders of the limb, i.e. peripheral neuropathy. Do not use if known sensitivity to the fabric.
Two-layer compression system that offers therapeutical compression and manages skin conditions at the same time. The first layer, infused with calamine, soothes and protects the skin, reducing irritation and maintaining skin integrity. The second layer delivers consistent therapeuticsl compression.
Two thin layers provide the stiffness required to generate sustained working pressures/low resting pressures to reduce oedema/prevent venous reflux without the bulk of traditional bandages. The interlocking layers cohere to each other, creating an inelastic sleeve that conforms to the limb and reduces the potential for bandage slippage and discomfort.
Designed for reduced compression. Two thin layers provide the stiffness required to generate sustained working pressures/low resting pressures to reduce oedema/prevent venous reflux without the bulk of traditional bandages. The interlocking layers cohere to each other, creating an inelastic sleeve that conforms to the limb and reduces the potential for bandage slippage and discomfort.
Two-layer system (green packaging) designed for sustained, therapeutic compression with reduced sub-bandage resting pressures. Comprises a latex-free foam padding layer and a latex-free, cohesive, compression bandage. Once applied, the two layers bond to form a single-layer bandage. Can be worn for up to 7 days.
