Product Information

Uses

  • Venous leg ulcers
  • Venous leg insufficiency
  • Lymphedema

Positives

  • Time is saved due to quicker and easier application of the device, in comparison to compression bandages
  • Reduces the use of bandaging materials – ReadyWrap can be washed and reused over a period of six months
  • A greater independence and more control over their lives as the patient can remove the wrap whilst having a shower or swimming (if there is no wounds) and then replace once their activity has finished.

Limitations

  • The product requires the patient to have reasonable dexterity to put the product on as well as the flexibility and body habitus to reach the ankles.
  • Requires consistency and compliance to work
  • Not affordable for everybody but is cheaper in the long run compared to bandaging.

Precautions

  • Before applying the wraps the patient requires:
    • Ankle Brachial Index or Toe Pressure studies and have been assessed that there is no arterial disease
    • Assessed for the patient’s ability to put the product on as compliance is key with the garment
    • The garment should be assessed to see if it is a falls risk for the less abled or elderly.
    • Patient is required to be measured appropriately  so that the fit of the garment is correct
