Venous Ulcers
Use a clean technique to remove the wound contact layer (WCL) from the pack and apply directly to the wound. Either side of the WCL can be placed in contact with the wound. Ensure ulcerated area is covered. Use extra WCL as required.
PROFORE* WCL can also be used in conjunction with PROFORE*, PROFORE* LF, and PROFORE* Lite, the Multi-Layer Compression Bandage Systems.
