Typically the bandages are applied in a sequence of layers: a padding/exudate absorbing layer (e.g., polyester), a retention layer (e.g., cotton/polyester/elastane), a compression layer (e.g., viscose/polyester covered elastane) and a self-adherent compression/outer retention layer (e.g., latex/polyester/elastane). It is intended to be applied by a healthcare professional for use in the home and healthcare facility. This is a single-use device.
