- The Viscopaste PB7 bandage is made from an open weave cotton impregnated with a paste containing 10% zinc oxide.
- It is established that compressive therapy in the form of bandaging or compression media is the first line of treatment when venous ulceration of the leg occurs in the absence of clinically significant arterial disease.
- The Boot can be compatible with Viscopaste PB7 which is a relatively rigid (non-elastic) support that handles low pressures at rest and high pressures during muscle contraction against a fixed resistance.
Recommendations:
- Viscopaste should be applied as a compression bandage starting at the edge.
- It can be used under a support bandage for low compression.
- Viscopaste must maintain a room temperature, avoiding extreme heat and humidity.
- We should not be used in known cases of sensitivity or allergy to any of its ingredients.
- The skin of patients with venous ulcers is often sensitive to topical medications, including preservatives. Specific sensitivity should be suspected in patients who represent a problem with the surrounding skin. These patients require referral to a specialist.
