Smith & Nephew Profore LF Multi-Layer Compression Bandaging System

More Information

• Benefits:
  Effective compression
  - It is proven to be effective in both hospitals and community treatment studies
  - This system is designed to deliver the effective pressure
  Graduated compression
  It provides higher pressure at the ankle, with decreasing pressure exhibited at the calf
  Sustained compression
  Even a full week after application, it maintains effective levels of compression
  Safety
  Profore LF pads bony prominences for protection and through the use of 2 compression layers, compression is built up gradually
  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 LF system and apply another
  Cost effective
  - Weekly dressing changes reduce the nursing time required for the management of venous leg ulcers
  - Studies have shown that the multi-layer compression bandaging system provides significant savings in cost of care
  Convenient
  - This system pack contains everything for the application of effective 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 of less than 0.8
  - 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
  - If the patient has very thin ankle or very prominent tibial crest, extra padding should be applied to these areas to prevent pressure necrosis
  - Faliure to detect significantly reduced arterial flow can result in pressure necrosis, amputation or even death
