Soft/Conformable Underpadding
A Viscose/Polyester underpadding for the protection of bony prominences
such as the ankle or wrist. Boney prominences can receive too much
pressure from a compression bandage, causing patient discomfort
DUGSOFT also be used to protect the area behind the knee or crease
of the elbow.
For individuals with very large limbs, DUGSOFT can also be used
to make the limb more like a "cone" so the pressure is
distributed over a pressure gradient, with more pressure at the
foot or hand and less at the upper leg or arm. Padding can be used
for the entire limb to create more uniform pressure and prevent
chafing from the bandages.
