The PROFORE LITE Latex Free System Kit 66000771 is a multi-layer compression bandage system designed for managing "mixed etiology" leg ulcers. This means it's suitable for ulcers with both venous and some arterial impairment, where full compression might not be appropriate.
Features
- Reduced compression: Unlike the standard PROFORE system, this "lite" version offers a gentler compression level for patients who cannot tolerate full compression due to arterial impairment (with an Ankle-Brachial Pressure Index (ABPI) between 0.6 and 0.8).
- Latex-free: The formulation is free of natural rubber latex, reducing the risk of allergic reactions.
- Convenient kit: The system includes all the necessary components for application, simplifying preparation and ensuring the correct items are readily available.
- Extended wear time: The system can remain in place for up to a week, potentially reducing the frequency of dressing changes and associated nursing time.
- Clinically proven: It has been shown to effectively promote healing in patients with mixed etiology leg ulcers, including those with diabetes and compromised arterial circulation.
- Graduated compression: Delivers higher pressure at the ankle and decreasing pressure towards the knee, promoting optimal blood flow.
- Safe and effective: Padded to protect bony prominences and designed for gradual compression build-up.
