Robinson Ultra Four® Latex Free Multi-Layer System 18-25cm - Pack of 10 Kits

Ultra Four is a multi-layer compression bandage system for the management of venous leg ulcers and associated conditions. Supplied as a kit, Ultra Four is clinically proven and provides a cost-effective method of treatment (1,2). High PerformanceLeg ulceration is associated mostly with venous disease and is a large problem in the UK with approximately 59% of leg ulcers being of venous origin (3), costing the NHS around £400m per year (4). Many clinical trials have been carried out on multi-layer bandage systems. Ultra Four achieved 83% healing rate in 20 weeks (1), very similar to other trials that have taken place [83% over 24 weeks (1,5,6)] and so is clinically proven to be effective.Not Manufactured with Natural Rubber Latex - As StandardUltra Four is also 100% free from natural rubber latex as standard, at no additional cost. This is significant as it reduces the chance of allergy or sensitisation complications for patients during treatment. It is equally important for professionals who may become sensitive to natural rubber latex.Convenient & Cost EffectiveUltra Four kits are supplied in a handy bag with a carry handle for ease of transportation when used in the community. Each bag contains an insert card, which has full, easy to follow step-by-step instructions for use.System Components1 x Layer No. 1 - Ultra SoftULTRA SOFT should be applied without tension.
