PROFORE* Multi-Layer Compression Bandage System has been specifically designed for the management of venous leg ulcers and associated conditions. The system pack can be used on patients with ankle circumferences of greater than 18cm or 7(1/4)" (padded).

Do not use on patients with an ankle-brachial index (ABI) of less than 0.8, or on diabetic patients with advanced small vessel disease.
Should the patient develop pain or pale, cool, or numb extremities distal to the dressing, the bandages should be promptly removed. If the patient has a very thin ankle or very prominent tibial crest, extra padding should be applied to these areas to prevent pressure necrosis.
Failure to detect significantly reduced arterial flow can result in pressure necrosis, amputation, or even death.
This product has components that contain natural rubber latex which may cause allergic reactions in some individuals.
The risk of arterial as well as venous disease rises with age.

Wash and dry leg and apply a moisturizing cream to the unbroken skin.
PROFORE* WCL sterile wound contact layer
Remove from the pack with sterile forceps and apply to the wound. Hold in place until covered by PROFORE* #1.
PROFORE* #1 natural padding bandage
Apply from the base of the toes to the knee using a simple spiral technique and 50% overlap. Do not apply tension.
PROFORE* #2 light conformable bandage
Apply from the base of the toes to the knee, over PROFORE* #1, using a simple spiral technique and 50% overlap. Use tape to secure.
PROFORE* #3 light compression bandage
Apply from the base of the toes to the knee, using a figure of 8 technique at 50% extension. Use the central yellow line as guidance for 50% overlap. Use tape to secure.
PROFORE* #4 flexible cohesive bandage
Apply from toe to knee using a spiral technique with 50% extension and 50% overlap. Press lightly on the bandage to ensure that the bandage adheres to itself. Apply the bandage steeply across the foot to reduce buildup of material over the front of the ankle.
