Derma Sciences Dufore Four-Layer Compression Bandaging System is designed to sustain effective levels of graduated compression for up to seven days. Sustained compression has been recognized as the most important factor in managing venous leg ulcers.

The system is comprised of four layers:

• The first layer, a padding absorption layer, provides padding for bony prominences, distributes compression evenly over the leg and absorbs exudate.
• The second layer provides short-stretch compression by resisting expansion of the calf muscle during limb movement.
• It works with the third and fourth layer elastic compression bandages to effectively minimize edema and increase venous return.

Wound contact dressing is included with the system to help maintain a moist wound healing environment, and to protect the wound from lint or outside contaminants.
