Indications
PROFORE* Lite Multi-Layer Compression Bandage System is indicated for the management of "mixed" etiology leg ulcers, where assessment has identified that the patient has some degree of arterial impairment which prevents the use of full compression.
Contraindications
PROFORE* Lite should not be used on patients with an ankle-brachial index (ABI) of less than 0.6, or on diabetic patients with advanced small vessel disease.
Warnings and Precautions
Should the patient develop pain or pale, cool or numb extremities distal to the dressing, the bandages should be promptly removed. Patients with a low ABI and symptoms of arterial disease should be seen by a vascular specialist before application of compression. Care should be taken that very thin, bony, legs or legs with a prominent tibial crest should be protected with extra padding. The pressure under the bandage could bruise and harm unprotected/unpadded skin especially over bony parts of the leg.
Compression bandaging to a leg which already has a partially blocked blood supply could completely stop the flow of blood into the leg and lead to the death of skin and muscle of the leg. Death of the muscle and skin of the leg could lead to further complications and possibly amputation of the leg.
