Description

The 3M™ Coban™ 2 Layer Compression System is expertly designed for the effective management of lymphoedema, venous leg ulcers, and chronic oedema. This innovative system comprises two distinct layers: a Comfort Foam Layer that rests gently against the skin and an outer Compression Layer. Together, they provide therapeutic compression ranging from 25 to 40 mmHg, offering sustained working pressure with minimal resting pressure.

Key Benefits

• Comfort and Discretion: The bandage system is lightweight, flexible, and low-profile, allowing patients to wear regular clothing and footwear comfortably. Its inelastic nature forms a rigid sleeve that minimizes slippage and enhances comfort.
• Hypoallergenic Material: Being latex-free and hypoallergenic, it is suitable for a wide range of users without causing irritation.

Application Versatility

Available in various widths, the Coban™ system can be applied to different body parts, making it versatile for both professional and self-application. The self-adhering nature of the bandages ensures cohesion between layers, simplifying the application process.

Clinical Advantages

• Effective Oedema Management: Designed to reduce limb volume and oedema, prevent venous reflux, and improve mobility.
• Long-lasting Wear: Can be comfortably worn for up to seven days, depending on professional advice, reducing the need for frequent changes.

Application Guidelines

The application involves wrapping the Comfort Foam Layer with minimal tension, followed by the Compression Layer applied with sufficient tension. The process is quick, typically taking between 10 to 30 minutes, and should result in a firm yet comfortable fit. Users are advised to keep the bandage dry and follow professional guidance for optimal results.

Removal and Maintenance

Removal should be done carefully using bandage scissors, and any discomfort should be addressed by elevating the limb or gently moving it. The system is designed to enhance self-efficacy and quality of life, particularly for those seeking independence in managing their condition.

Proven Clinical Outcomes

Clinical evidence supports the effectiveness of the Coban™ system in reducing limb volume with twice-weekly applications, making it a reliable choice for managing lymphoedema and venous leg ulcers. With proper use, it significantly contributes to improved patient outcomes and satisfaction.
