Smith & Nephew Profore Lite Latex Free System Kit – Targeted Healing for Mixed Etiology Ulcers

The Smith & Nephew Profore Lite Latex Free System Kit (Product Code: 66000771) is a medically advanced compression solution specifically developed for patients who require “Gold Standard” care but cannot tolerate full-strength pressure. This “Lite” system is the clinical choice for managing mixed etiology leg ulcers—wounds where both venous disease and partial arterial impairment are present. By delivering a reduced pressure gradient, Profore Lite facilitates healing while safeguarding patients with compromised circulation.

Medically Calibrated for Safety and ABPI Compliance

Unlike standard 4-layer systems, the Smith & Nephew Profore Lite Latex Free System Kit is specifically calibrated for patients with an Ankle-Brachial Pressure Index (ABPI) between 0.6 and 0.8. This reduced compression level ensures that venous return is stimulated without restricting necessary arterial blood flow. The 100% latex-free formulation further enhances patient safety, eliminating the risk of allergic reactions or skin sensitivities during extended wear.

Key Features & Benefits

• Reduced Compression Profile: Specifically designed for “mixed” ulcers where standard high compression is contraindicated.

• Latex-Free Materials: Safe for all patients, including those with natural rubber latex allergies or highly reactive skin.

• Graduated Pressure Gradient: Applies higher pressure at the ankle which decreases toward the knee to maximize hemodynamics and reduce edema.

• Up to 7-Day Wear Time: The durable system maintains its therapeutic pressure for a full week, reducing the frequency of clinic visits and nursing intervention.

• Comprehensive All-in-One Kit: Each box contains the exact components required to protect bony prominences, absorb wound exudate, and provide stable compression.

• Clinically Proven Results: Shown to effectively promote wound closure in complex cases, including diabetic patients and those with compromised arterial health.

Strategic Multi-Layer Design

The Smith & Nephew Profore Lite Latex Free System Kit utilizes a calculated layering technique to balance protection and pressure:

1. Wound Contact Layer: Protects the delicate ulcer bed for pain-free dressing changes.

2. Absorbent Padding: Cushions the limb, protects bony areas (like the malleolus), and manages moisture.

3. Lite Compression Layers: Provide the stable, lower-level compression needed to improve circulation without arterial risk.

The Professional Choice for Complex Vascular Care

When standard compression systems are too aggressive, the Smith & Nephew Profore Lite Latex Free System Kit provides the perfect therapeutic middle ground. Its ability to provide sustained, graduated pressure while protecting skin integrity makes it a staple for wound care specialists. Rely on Profore Lite to deliver the safety, convenience, and clinical efficacy required to manage difficult-to-heal ulcers and improve patient quality of life.

Clinical Safety Note: A full vascular assessment, including an ABPI measurement, must be conducted by a healthcare professional before applying the Smith & Nephew Profore Lite Latex Free System Kit. This system is intended for professional use to ensure the pressure profile is appropriate for the patient’s arterial status.
