The C-3 Wrap provides non-elastic, adjustable and thereby sustained compression. It is primarily used in preventing the recurrence of venous leg ulcers, and in the treatment of edema and other venous circulatory disorders.* Clinically proven superior to elastic stockings and ace wraps, the C-3 Wrap can be worn 24 hours a day and its comfort promotes high patient compliance.
Other CircAid® Models include:
• CircAid® Ready-Fit™ 2000
• CircAid® Ready Fit™ Classic Flex™
• CircAid® T-3 Boot™ (Thera-Boot™)
The CircAid C-3 Wrap simply slides on and there are only three adjustable bands that are tightened to a firm, comfortable compression. During wear, adjustment to proper compression is always possible. The C-3 Wrap can be used with or without an Ankle-Foot Wrap which covers the ankle and foot area completely, and can be worn in a shoe. The Ankle-Foot™ Wrap augments the C-3 Wrap in reducing and containing edema, and prevents ulcers from recurring. There are no adjustments necessary - virtually no cutting or trimming. The C-3 Wrap is available in standard sizes (small, medium, large, and extra-large) which require only two simple measurements.
