Smith & Nephew Profore Lite 3-Layer Multi-Layer Compression Bandaging System, Latex-Free

3-Layer Reduced Compression Bandage System for Mixed Aetiology Leg Ulcers

Product Description

Managing mixed aetiology leg ulcers requires a compression system that delivers effective therapy while respecting arterial impairment. Full high-compression bandages may not be suitable for patients with reduced ankle brachial pressure index (ABPI), leaving caregivers searching for a solution that provides graduated pressure without compromising patient safety. Finding a system that is easy to apply correctly, stays in place for a full week, and contains all necessary components is essential for consistent, cost-effective care

The Smith & Nephew Profore Lite Multi-Layer Compression Bandaging System is designed to address these needs. This 3-layer system provides reduced compression suitable for mixed aetiology ulcers, particularly for patients with an ABPI between 0.6 and 0.8 . The system includes a sterile wound contact layer, an absorbent padding bandage, a light conformable bandage, and a cohesive compression bandage that maintains continuous compression and keeps the system securely in place for up to a full week . The graduated compression delivers higher pressure at the ankle with decreasing pressure at the calf, helping to improve upward blood flow

This Smith & Nephew system is designed for convenience and reliability. The complete kit contains everything necessary for safe and effective graduated compression therapy, reducing preparation time and simplifying stock control . The cohesive outer bandage adheres to itself, eliminating the need for separate tape and ensuring the system stays in place without loss of compression . The multi-layer construction builds compression gradually, minimizing the risk of application error . The system is latex-free and can be left in place for up to 7 days, helping to reduce nursing time and associated costs
