Zinc Oxide Unna Boot - 4 Inch x 10 Yard Cotton Compression Bandage for Venous Ulcers

Professional-Grade Compression Therapy for Venous Leg Ulcers and Lymphatic Edema

This Zinc Oxide Unna Boot is a highly effective medical-grade compression bandage specifically engineered to treat and manage venous leg ulcers, lymphatic edema, chronic venous insufficiency, and other conditions requiring therapeutic compressive therapy. Trusted by healthcare professionals in wound care clinics, hospitals, and home health settings, this compression bandage provides reliable therapeutic compression while simultaneously soothing and protecting compromised skin, making it an essential tool for both clinical practitioners and patients managing chronic venous conditions.

Therapeutic Zinc Oxide Impregnation for Enhanced Healing

The bandage is constructed from premium cotton gauze that has been evenly impregnated with a soothing zinc oxide paste, ensuring consistent therapeutic coverage across the entire 10-yard length. Zinc oxide is clinically proven to provide multiple therapeutic benefits: it soothes irritated and inflamed skin, reduces inflammation around wound sites, promotes accelerated wound healing by creating an optimal moist wound environment, and forms a protective barrier over affected areas to shield vulnerable tissue from external contaminants and friction.

This protective zinc oxide coating is especially beneficial for patients with sensitive, fragile, or compromised skin conditions commonly associated with chronic venous disease. The paste formulation stays moist throughout the wear period to encourage continuous healing, maintaining the ideal moisture balance that modern wound care protocols recommend for optimal tissue regeneration and ulcer closure.

Superior Conformability for Uniform Compression

The soft, pliable cotton gauze construction allows this Unna Boot to conform easily to the unique contours of the leg, accommodating variations in leg shape, ankle anatomy, and calf circumference. This exceptional conformability ensures uniform pressure distribution across the treatment area, which is critical for effective management of chronic venous conditions. The consistent compression aids in reducing venous hypertension, minimizing edema, improving venous return, and promoting ulcer healing by optimizing the physiological conditions necessary for tissue repair.

Optimal 4 Inch x 10 Yard Sizing

Measuring 4 inches wide by 10 yards long, this Unna Boot provides generous coverage suitable for treating most adult leg sizes from ankle to knee. The 4-inch width is ideal for spiral wrapping techniques that ensure overlapping layers and consistent compression gradients. The 10-yard length offers sufficient material for complete lower leg coverage with proper overlap, typically allowing for full treatment of one leg per bandage depending on leg circumference and wrapping technique.

Preservative-Free Formulation for Sensitive Skin

Patient safety and skin tolerance are paramount in wound care. This Unna Boot contains no preservatives, eliminating potential irritants that could trigger allergic reactions or skin sensitivities in vulnerable patients. The preservative-free formulation makes this compression bandage suitable for patients with sensitive skin, known allergies, or compromised skin barriers who require gentle yet effective compression therapy.

Latex-Free Construction for Universal Safety

This compression bandage is not made with natural rubber latex, making it safe for use with latex-sensitive patients and healthcare workers. The latex-free construction eliminates the risk of latex-induced allergic reactions, ensuring that all patients can receive necessary compression therapy without concern for adverse reactions. This feature is particularly important in clinical settings where latex allergies are increasingly prevalent.

Convenient Vacuum-Sealed Packaging

Each Unna Boot arrives in a unique, easy-to-open, vacuum-sealed pouch that preserves the moisture content of the zinc oxide paste and protects the bandage from contamination until the moment of use. The vacuum seal maintains product freshness and ensures the zinc oxide paste remains at optimal consistency for easy application. The easy-open design allows healthcare providers to access the bandage quickly during patient care without struggling with difficult packaging, improving workflow efficiency in busy clinical environments.

Single-Use Design for Infection Control

Designed for single-use application, this Unna Boot supports proper infection control protocols and eliminates cross-contamination risks. The single-use design ensures each patient receives a fresh, sterile-packaged bandage, which is essential for wound care applications where infection prevention is critical to successful outcomes.

FSA/HSA Eligible for Healthcare Savings

This Zinc Oxide Unna Boot is FSA and HSA eligible, allowing patients to use pre-tax healthcare dollars to purchase this essential wound care supply. This eligibility helps reduce out-of-pocket costs for ongoing compression therapy, making consistent treatment more affordable and accessible for patients managing chronic venous conditions.

Clinical Applications and Indications

This compression bandage is indicated for a wide range of venous and lymphatic conditions, including:

• Venous Leg Ulcers: Primary treatment for chronic venous ulcers to promote healing through sustained compression
• Lymphatic Edema: Management of lymphedema to reduce swelling and improve lymphatic drainage
• Chronic Venous Insufficiency: Long-term compression therapy to manage venous hypertension and prevent ulcer recurrence
• Post-Sclerotherapy Care: Compression support following varicose vein treatment procedures
• Stasis Dermatitis: Treatment of skin inflammation associated with venous stasis
• Superficial Thrombophlebitis: Supportive compression for superficial vein inflammation
• Post-Surgical Compression: Compression therapy following venous procedures or skin grafts

Professional Application Guidelines

For optimal therapeutic results, the Unna Boot should be applied by trained healthcare professionals or under professional guidance. Proper application technique includes starting at the base of the toes or ankle, wrapping in a spiral pattern with 50% overlap, maintaining consistent tension throughout application, and extending coverage to just below the knee. The bandage typically remains in place for 5-7 days depending on wound exudate levels and clinical protocols, with regular monitoring for circulation, comfort, and healing progress.
