Class 2 (23–32mmHg). LipoCare Light, in circular knitting, applies the principle of medical compression to alleviate the typical symptoms of early-stage lipoedema; the soft microfibre it is made of ensures softness on the skin, high levels of breathability and ideal fit, as it adapts perfectly to the body contours. LipoCare Strong is woven fabric designed to effectively meet the most complex therapeutic needs, thanks to the high capacity of its structure for the containment of adipose accumulation.

The open mesh structure promotes transfer of excess exudate to a secondary dressing. Can be cut to size and applied on either side.
A non-cytotoxic, cyanoacrylate-based monomer that forms a strong protective layer over skin. As the cyanoacrylate polymerizes, it bonds to the skin surface. It resists external moisture, yet allows the skin to breathe.
Sterile, absorbent 100% chitosan gelling microfibre primary wound dressing. Transforms into a cohesive gel matrix when in contact with wound exudate, helping to maintain a moist environment. Aids autolytic debridement and can control minor bleeding. Easy to remove. Improves patient comfort.
