Why choose Smith and Nephew Profore Compression Bandage?

• Effective Compression - Proven effective in both hospital and community treatment studies, the Profore system is designed to deliver effective pressure.
• Graduated Compression - Profore provides higher pressure at the ankle, with decreasing pressure exhibited at the calf.
• Sustained Compression - Even a full week after application, Profore maintains effective levels of compression.
• Safety - Profore pads bony prominences for protection and through the use of 2 compression layers, compression is built up gradually.
• Extended Weartime - Profore has sufficient absorptive capacity to manage exudate for up to a full week without needing re-application. The initial applications of Profore may have to be changed every 3 to 4 days, when drainage is high.
• Cost-Effective - Weekly dressing changes reduce the nursing time required for the management of venous leg ulcers. Studies have shown that the multi-layer compression bandage system provides significant savings in cost of care.
• Convenient - Profore system pack contains everything necessary for the application of effective graduated compression therapy. Profore reduces preparation time, simplifies stock control and ensures that the correct components are always available.
