The Actico® cohesive inelastic bandage system, tried and tested to effectively manage venous ulceration and chronic oedema
Download Actico brochureActico is a cohesive inelastic compression bandage system. Actico is applied at 100% full stretch for accurate and easy simple spiral application – reducing the risk of over compression. A Randomised Controlled Trial showed Actico is as effective as 4L at healing ulcers in both mobile and immobile patients. Actico can be applied up to the knee or as a full leg bandage as required.
A full holistic assessment, including Doppler, should be carried out prior to application (refer to local guidelines)
