• Lower limb conditions where the Ankle Brachial Pressure Index (ABPI) is ≥ 0.8 - ≤1.3

• Venous leg ulcers without or with mild, uncomplicated oedema (as a result of venous insufficiency).

• Mixed aetiology leg ulcers (ABPI 0.5-0.8) under specialist supervision (please refer to local guidelines)

Not for use when ABPI <0.5

If ABPI is 0.5 – 0.8 Actico® 2C Two component leg ulcer kit can be applied with caution under strict medical or specialist supervision (Please refer to local guidelines.)

If ABPI is >1.3 further investigation may be required before Actico® is applied (please refer to local guidelines).

For patients with ankle circumference of less than 18cm and for patients with moderate- severe chronic oedema / lymphoedema, the use of Actico® inelastic cohesive compression bandages (with appropriate padding) is recommended.

• Cardiac overload is suspected

• Patients have diabetes

• Patients have advanced small vessel disease

• Arterial disease is present

• Renal failure is present

• Rheumatoid arthritis is present

• Known sensitivity to the bandage system

Following application if the patient shows signs of pain, reduced colour or numbness on their extremities distal to the bandage, then it should be removed immediately.
