Warnings and Precautions
3M™ Coban™ 2 Two-Layer Compression System and 3M™ Coban™ 2 Lite Two-Layer Compression System should be used under the supervision of a licensed health care professional. Patients with known arterial insufficiency, decompensated heart insufficiency or diabetes with advanced small vessel disease may not tolerate compression.
Wrapping too tightly may impair circulation. Monitor the area of application frequently for signs of discoloration, pain, numbness, tingling or other changes in sensation and swelling. If these symptoms occur, patients should be advised to remove 3M™ Coban™ 2 Two-Layer Compression System and 3M™ Coban™ 2 Lite Two-Layer Compression System and promptly contact their health care provider.
Patients new to compression therapy may not initially tolerate the pressure level provided. For these patients, the Compression Layer may be initially applied with less than full stretch or 3M™ Coban™ 2 Lite Two-Layer Compression System can be used.
3M™ Coban™ 2 Two-Layer Compression System and 3M™ Coban™ 2 Lite Two-Layer Compression System is not designed as a wound dressing. Wounds should be managed with dressings appropriate to the wound condition.
3M™ Coban™ 2 Two-Layer Compression System and 3M™ Coban™ 2 Lite Two-Layer Compression System should be changed if it becomes loose fitting, or when it no longer conforms to the shape of the bandaged area. The patient should contact their health care professional to determine if it should be replaced.
Patients should be advised to keep 3M™ Coban™ 2 Two-Layer Compression System and 3M™ Coban™ 2 Lite Two-Layer Compression System dry. If the bandage becomes wet, patients should contact their health care provider to determine if it should be replaced.
For thorax applications, 3M™ Coban™ 2 Lite Two-Layer Compression System may be more comfortable for some patients.
Do not reuse. Reuse may result in compromising product integrity or lead to device failure.
At the discretion of the health care professional, patients or their care providers can be trained to apply the bandage for subsequent applications.

Mode of Use/Application
General directions for use
1. Follow facility or agency guidelines for infection control.
2. Maintain consistent stretch throughout the bandaging process.
3. Cut off excess material.
One of the most common applications in compression therapy is the lower leg application used for, but not only, the treatment of venous leg ulcers. For the use of 3M™ Coban™ 2 Two-Layer Compression System and 3M™ Coban™ 2 Lite Two-Layer Compression System in other anatomical areas please contact your local 3M subsidiary or 3M representative to receive information on all application techniques.
Directions for use (example Lower Leg)
Apply the Compression System with the foot in a dorsiflexed position (foot at 90° angle).
Layer 1: The Inner Comfort Layer
Apply this layer with the foam side against the skin, using just enough tension to conform to the shape of the leg with minimal overlap. This ensures a breathable and thin application that promotes patient comfort and joint articulation.
1. Start the application with a circular winding at the base of the toes, beginning at the fifth metatarsal head.
2. The second circle of winding should come across the top of the foot so that the middle of the bandage width approximately covers the articulating aspect of the ankle joint.
3. Bring the next winding low, around the back of the heel leaving the plantar aspect of the heel uncovered. Covering the plantar heel is not needed and an extra winding over the ankle may make the completed application unnecessarily thick.
4. The comfort layer may not conform completely over the Achilles tendon area. The excess material will be smoothed down without discomfort when covered by the compression layer.
5. Proceed up to the knee with minimal overlap, using just enough tension to conform to the shape of the leg. Cut off excess material. Light pressure applied at the end of the bandage ensures that it stays in place during application of the compression layer.
Layer 2: The Outer Compression Layer
The compression layer is designed to be applied at full stretch throughout its application.
1. Start the application with a circular winding at the base of the toes, beginning at the fifth metatarsal head.
2. Complete up to three figures of eight around the ankle ensuring the entire heel is covered with at least two layers.
3. Proceed up the leg with 50% overlap to cover the entire inner comfort layer. Maintain consistent stretch throughout the bandaging process.
4. Following the application, press lightly on the entire surface of the application to guarantee an optimal conformability and to ensure that the bandage adheres to itself and to the inner comfort layer.
Application Tip: A lightweight, stretchable nylon stocking is provided in some individual kits of 3M™ Coban™ 2 Two-Layer Compression System and 3M™ Coban™ 2 Lite Two-Layer Compression System to cover the bandage.
Removal & Change Frequency
Single use. May be worn up to 7 days. The compression system may be removed with bandage scissors or by unwrapping. When removing a lower leg application with scissors, it is advised to cut on the medial side of the leg and ensure cutting behind the medial malleoli.
