Derma Sciences Dufore Four Layer Compression Bandage System is a graduated, multi-layer compression bandage system that provides effective levels gradual compression therapy usually for several days to help aid venous return when used in conjunction with leg elevation.

How the different compression layers work

First layer provides padded absorption, provides padding for bony prominences, distributes compression evenly over the leg and absorbs exudate (wound fluid). The second layer provides short-stretch compression by resisting expansion of the calf muscle during limb movement, and works with third and fourth layer elastic compression bandages to effectively minimize edema and increase venous return.
