PROFORE™ 4-Layer Compression Bandage System

Description

The PROFORE™ 4-Layer Compression Bandage System is a clinically proven, gold-standard solution for the management of venous leg ulcers. This comprehensive kit provides graduated compression, delivering approximately 40mmHg of pressure at the ankle and tapering to 17mmHg at the knee. This graduated approach is essential for improving venous return and creating an optimal environment for wound healing.

Designed for convenience and safety, the PROFORE™ system contains all the necessary components for a single application in one easy-to-use pack. The multi-layer design ensures that pressure is built up gradually and sustained effectively for up to seven days, reducing the frequency of dressing changes and nursing time. The kit also includes orthopedic padding to protect bony prominences, ensuring patient comfort during extended wear.

System Components

• 1 x PROFORE Wound Contact Layer (9.5cm x 9.5cm) — A non-adherent dressing that protects the wound bed and allows exudate to pass into the absorbent layers.
• 1 x PROFORE #1 Natural Padding Bandage (10cm x 3.5m) — Soft, absorbent layer used to pad bony prominences and distribute pressure evenly.
• 1 x PROFORE #2 Light Conformable Bandage (10cm x 4.5m) — A light support bandage used to smooth the padding and provide a base for compression.
• 1 x PROFORE #3 Light Compression Bandage (10cm x 8.7m) — Provides the initial stage of compression and helps conform to awkward limb contours.
• 1 x PROFORE #4 Flexible Cohesive Bandage (10cm x 2.5m) — A strong, durable outer layer that maintains compression and keeps the entire system securely in place without the need for tape.

Features

• Effective Graduated Compression — Delivers high pressure at the ankle with decreasing pressure at the calf to maximize healing rates.
• Sustained Pressure — Maintains therapeutic compression levels for a full week, even after the patient's activity.
• High Absorbency — Manages wound exudate effectively, supporting an extended wear time of up to 7 days.
• Safety & Protection — Padding layer protects vulnerable areas like the shin and ankle bones from excessive pressure.
• Clinically Proven — Extensively researched and shown to heal up to 79% of venous leg ulcers within 12 weeks.
