Instructions for use:
Before applying the bandages: - Examine the shape of the leg and identify any areas at risk of excessive pressure (i.e. bony prominences)- If a wound is present, apply an appropriate dressing before applying any bandages. Protect and reshape leg with wadding (K-Soft) if necessary
- Measure the ankle circumference and choose the correct kit accordingly (ankle size 18-25cm or 25-32cm)
- It is preferable to apply the compression system first thing in the morning or after the patients legs have been elevated for an hour to minimise any orthostatic oedema
- Depending on the indication, assess the need for toe to knee (venous leg ulcer or oedema) or toe to thigh (oedema) bandaging and choose the appropriate kit and bandage width
