Profore is a multi-layer compression bandage system 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 7¼ inches (padded).
Proven effective in both hospital and community treatment studies,
the Profore system is designed to deliver effective pressure. Profore
provides higher pressure at the ankle, with decreasing pressure
exhibited at the calf.
Even a full week after application, Profore maintains effective
levels of compression. Profore pads bony prominences for protection and
through the use of 2 compression layers, compression is built up
gradually. It 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. 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.
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.
Each system pack contains the following:
- One Profore wound contact layer
- One Profore #1 natural padding bandage
- One Profore #2 light conformable dressing
- One Profore #3 light compression bandage
- One Profore #4 flexible cohesive bandage
