Benefits |
|
|
Provides clinically relevant levels of compression
Comprilan will give graduated compression when applied with a spiral technique. When two bandages are applied one over another, the system will give a high level of sustained compression useable for the treatment of venous leg ulcers.
Light and conformable
The lightweight nature of the bandage and 100% cotton composition allows easy application whilst being well tolerated by the skin.
Washable and reusable on the same patient
Comprilan bandages will maintain their compression properties after washing and can be reapplied to the same patient.
