Very well tolerable, safe and comfortable: This is the result obtained in two current studies on the novel compression system Rosidal® TCS from Lohmann & Rauscher (L&R). The innovative two-component system was presented to the professional public at the European Wound Management Association (EWMA) conference held from 15-17 May in Copenhagen. With its extensive range of innovative products in the fields of debridement, wound care and compression, L&R also presented itself as a competent solution provider for its clients.
With Rosidal® TCS, marketed in Great Britain as Actico2C, L&R enhances the therapy options for compression therapy of leg ulcers and their concomitant conditions. Now two current studies further emphasize the high clinical benefits of the innovative two-component system.
Impressive study results for ulcers of varied origin
The compression system proved its high usability once again in a multicentre, international post-marketing surveillance study (PMS) conducted on 102 leg ulcer patients.1 Rosidal® TCS (two-component system) showed very good results, particularly in patients with mixed and arterial leg ulcers, in relation to the general assessment, applicability, quality of life and potential for edema reduction.
A second international multicentre study conducted on 95 leg ulcer patients confirmed the highly effective properties of Rosidal® TCS. In this indication, the compression system showed, even after one week’s application, an outstanding statistical stiffness index (SSI) of 16.5 (result directly after application: 18)2 and thus high stability of therapy.
Easy to apply and impressive wearing comfort
The innovative padding compression bandage Rosidal® SC (Soft Compression) coupled with the latex-free cohesive short stretch compression bandage Rosidal® CC (Cohesive Compression) make up the two parts of the two-component system Rosidal® TCS. Rosidal® TCS combines both products in a safe system for the treatment of leg ulcers and their concomitant conditions. The soft padding compression bandage Rosidal® SC (Soft Compression) with integrated textile protection for sensitive skin supplies a therapeutically reliable pressure distribution while providing a high wearing comfort. The cohesive short stretch compression bandage Rosidal® CC (Cohesive Compression) adheres reliably to itself thus reducing the risk of slipping. The unique Safe-Loc System ensures that the required pressure is automatically achieved at full tension - easily, intuitively and safely. This ensures that the therapeutic working pressure is maintained over several days - and maintained with a simultaneously comfortably low resting pressure.
The Rosidal® TCS system components are free of natural rubber latex making them a good alternative for people with latex hypersensitivity.
Rosidal® TCS is distributed on the British market by the L&R company Activa Healthcare and is traded there under the name Actico2C as part of the successful Actico product range. When used in combination with gentle Debrisoft® for soft debridement, the moist wound care dressings of Suprasorb® and the superabsorbent dressing Vliwasorb® (traded by Activa Healthcare under the name Fliwasorb®) L&R offers a consistent overall approach for stage-appropriate wound care from the acute phase to the healing phase.
