Smith & Nephew Profore Lite Multi-Layer Compression Bandaging System

More Information

• Contents:
  - Wound contact layer - helps protect the wound site and help wick away exudate into the absorbent padding
  - #1 absorbent padding bandage - helps absorb exudate and helps protect bony prominences
  - #2 light conformable bandage - helps absorb exudate and helps prepare and sculpt the leg for the application of the pressure layers
  - #4 cohesive compression bandage - helps maintain continuous compression and keeps the system in place for up to a full week
• Benefits:
  Effective compression
  - It is designed to deliver effective compression to successfully manage "mixed" aetiology leg ulcers
  - It may be used to manage venous ulcers in patients with ABPI between 0.6 and 0.8 who cannot tolerate full compression
  Graduated compression
  - It provides higher pressure at the ankle, with decreasing pressure exhibited at the calf to help improve upward blood flow
  Sustained compression
  - Even a full week after application, it maintains effective levels of compression
  Safety
  - It helps ensure that bony prominences are padded for protection
  - The multi-layer system means that compression is built-up gradually minimizing the danger for application layer
  Extended wear-time
  - It has sufficient absorptive capacity to manage exudates up to a full week without the need of reapplication
  - During the initial phase of therapy you may experience wound drainage as the compression system actively manages edema
  - If strike through happens, remove the Profore Lite system and apply another
  Cost effective
  - Weekly dressing changes reduce the nursing time and helps reduce costs associated with management of venous leg ulcers
  Convenient
  - This system pack contains everything for the application of effective, sustained, graduated compression therapy
  - It reduce preparation time, simplifies stock control and ensures that the correct components are always available
• Contradictions:
  - This should not be used on patients with an Ankle Brachial Pressure Index (ABPI) of less than 0.6
  - Also not to be used on diabetic patients with advanced small vessel disease
• Precautions:
  - The bandage should be promptly removed when the patient develops pain or pale
  - Patients with low ABPI and symptoms of arterial disease should be seen by a vascular specialist before application of compression
  - Care should be taken that very thin, bony, legs with prominent tibial crest should be protected with extra padding
  - The pressure under the bandage could harm unpadded skin
  - Compression bandage to a leg which has partially blocked blood supply could completely stop flow of blood into leg and lead to the death of skin
  - This product contains natural rubber latex which may cause allergic reactions in some individuals
