FourPress Compression Bandage System

FourPress Compression Bandage System

The Hartmann FourPress® is a multi-layer bandaging system for optimum compression and absorbency in managing venous leg ulcers. These four bandages work together to provide effective, sustained compression for up to seven days when applied as directed. FourPress® is easy to apply, secures without tape and produces sub-bandage pressure at the ankle in the 30-40 mmHg range when the system is wrapped as indicated.

• Each kit contains 4 bandages and 3 tape strips
• First layer is a padding bandage (4" x 3.8 yds., unstretched) made of a blend of synthetic materials that absorbs wound exudate. Comfortable, nonwoven layer primarily provides protection to bony prominences
• Second layer is a crepe bandage (4" x 4.9 yds., stretched) that anchors and smoothes padding layer while absorbing exudate
• Third layer is a compression bandage (4" x 9.5 yds., stretched) that conforms to any contour while providing about one-half of compression
• Fourth layer is a cohesive bandage (4" x 6.5 yds., stretched) that adheres to itself and secures system without tape
