Description
The Medline Fourflex 4-Layer Compression Bandage System provides multilayer therapeutic compression for managing chronic venous insufficiency and associated lower-extremity edema.
Engineered for professional wound care and compression therapy, the Fourflex system combines four complementary bandage layers to deliver protective cushioning, conforming support, sustained compression, and secure outer fixation.
The first layer provides cushioning and absorbs wound drainage, while the second layer creates a conforming wrapping surface. The third and fourth layers provide therapeutic compression and help maintain the bandage system in place.
The integrated system is designed for extended wear of up to seven days, depending on wound drainage, edema reduction, patient condition, and clinical assessment.
Each kit includes Medi-Strips to secure the first three layers and visual application instructions to support proper bandaging technique.
Available in Standard and XL configurations to accommodate different limb circumferences and clinical requirements.

Application & Safety Information
For use by trained healthcare professionals or caregivers under appropriate clinical direction.
Assess arterial circulation before applying therapeutic compression. An ankle-brachial index (ABI) assessment is recommended before use. The product is contraindicated in patients with severe arterial disease.
Apply according to Medline's instructions and the treating clinician's compression prescription. Monitor for increasing pain, numbness, tingling, discoloration, coldness, or other symptoms of impaired circulation. Promptly seek clinical assessment if these occur.
Bandage changes depend on wound drainage, swelling reduction, skin condition, and clinical judgment. Do not exceed the manufacturer's recommended wear period.
