PROFORE Multi-Layer Compression Bandage by Smith and Nephew
Manufacturer: Smith & Nephew
Provides higher pressure at the ankle, with decreasing pressure exhibited at the calf; even a full week after application, PROFORE maintains effective levels of compression
Pads bony prominences for protection and through the use of 2 compression layers, compression is built up gradually
Has sufficient absorptive capacity to manage exudate for up to a full week without needing re-application; initial applications of PROFORE may have to be changed every 3 to 4 days, when drainage is high
Weekly dressing changes reduce the nursing time required for the management of venous leg ulcers; studies have shown the multi-layer compression bandage system provides significant savings in cost of care
Reduces preparation time, simplifies stock control and ensures that the correct components are always available
