FourPress®
Multi-layer bandaging system for optimum compression and absorbency in managing venous leg ulcers.
Features
- Layer One Padding Bandage is a comfortable non-woven layer that absorbs wound exudate and protects bony prominences
- Layer Two Crepe Bandage anchors and smooths padding layer while absorbing exudate
- Layer Three Compression Bandage provides about one-half of the system's compression and conforms to body contours
- Layer Four Cohesive Bandage adheres to itself and secures all layers in the bandaging system without tape
Benefits
- Four bandages work together to provide effective, sustained compression for up to seven days when applied as directed
- Safe and effective compression therapy for venous leg ulcers and related conditions
- Easy to apply and secures without tape
- Produces sub-bandage pressure at the ankle in the 30-40 mmHg range when the system is wrapped as indicated
