PROGUIDE Multi-layer Compression Bandage
PROGUIDE◊ is a multi-layer compression bandage for the treatment of Venous Leg Ulcers and associated conditions. It is estimated that 1-2% of the population currently suffer from Venous Leg Ulcers globally.
Current compression bandage management has some challenges in achieving effective levels of compression for sustained periods. The Vari-Stretch◊ technology developed by Smith & Nephew provides increased confidence in bandage application by enabling clinicians to vary the stretch of PROGUIDE◊ compression and still achieve the effective level of compression needed for wound closure.
This reduces dressing changes and could cover the cost while maintaining good clinical outcomes in the millions of leg ulcer patients.
