Helpful Tips

• Your bandage may feel tight at first. This is normal. When the swelling goes down, it will not feel as tight.
• Wear the stocking that comes with the system over the bandage to help you put on shoes and clothing
• Wear comfortable shoes and walk regularly. Walking will improve circulation, which can improve healing.
• Try to keep your bandage dry. If CoFlex TLC gets damp, let it air dry.
• CoFlex TLC may be left on your leg up to 7 days. After that, your doctor or nurse will apply a new compression system or suggest another treatment.
• Call your doctor or nurse if the bandage gets soaking wet, slips down, or if you have pain, tingling numbness or discoloration
