Indications

For treatment and management of venous leg ulcers and associated conditions. Multi-layer compression bandage system offering reduced compression from the original Profore System kits. Specially developed for the management of mixed aetiology leg ulcers where assessment of the patient has identified that there is some degree of arterial impairment, which prevents the use of full compression.

Contraindications

Do not use on patients with an ankle:brachial pressure index (ABPI) of less than 0.8. Diabetic patients with advanced small vessel disease. Patients with diabetes may have a false ABPI due to calcification of peripheral arterial vessels. Always assess patients with diabetes with additional clinical measures.
