CobanTM
delivers therapeutic levels of compression and has demonstrated clinical efficacy. 3MTM CobanTM
2 and 3MTM 2 Lite have only two layers making them quick to apply
and the application technique easy to learn. The system’s reduced bulk encourages concordance by allowing patients to wear their usual clothing and footwear.
