Benefits

Zinc oxide bandage
The VISCOPASTE PB7 bandage decongests and protects the skin, is easy to remove and is generally proposed as the first treatment for both dry and exudative varicose ulcers.
VISCOPASTE PB7 bandage is also indicated for the treatment of varicose eczema and chronic dermatitis.

Each bandage is supplied in a waterproof polyethylene bag packed in a cardboard box.

Indications

VISCOPASTE PB7 is indicated as an adjunct in the treatment of venous ulcers of the lower limbs. In the presence of venous insufficiency, the paste bandage should be used with a gradual compression bandage. VISCOPASTE PB7 is also suitable in the management of chronic eczema or dermatitis, in cases where occlusion is indicated.

Instructions for Use

Once removed from the sealed bag and wrapper, the product is ready for use. The bandage can be applied in two ways:

• Starting at the base of the toes, loosely wrap the bandage around the foot, heel and leg in a spiral, down to below the knee. Once applied, adhere and shape the bandage around the leg.
• Starting at the base of the toes, loosely wrap the bandage around the foot and heel and then, as you proceed from the ankle, fold the bandage back on itself on the front of the leg with each turn. Repeat for the entire leg to below the knee. A compression bandage can then be applied. Once VISCOPASTE PB7 has been applied, cover the leg with a bandage or dressing to avoid soiling the clothing.
