Description
The 3M™ Coban™ 2 Lite Comfort Bandage is the soft inner layer used as Layer 1 of the Coban 2 Lite Two-Layer Compression System.
Designed to be applied directly against the skin, the comfort foam layer provides cushioning and helps protect the limb before the outer Coban 2 Lite Compression Layer is applied. Its soft, flexible construction conforms closely to the shape of the limb while helping create a comfortable and stable base for reduced compression therapy.
Supplied as one individual bandage, it is a practical option for patients who require a separate Layer 1 component rather than a complete Coban 2 Lite kit.

What is the Coban 2 Lite Comfort Bandage used for?
The Coban 2 Lite Comfort Layer is used as the first stage of the Coban 2 Lite compression system.
It is applied with the foam side against the skin, using only enough tension to follow the shape of the limb. The outer Coban 2 Lite Compression Layer is then applied over it to provide reduced therapeutic compression.
Together, the two layers form a stable compression system intended for patients who may require a lower level of compression than standard Coban 2.
Who is it suitable for?
Coban 2 Lite Comfort Bandage is intended for use as part of the Coban 2 Lite Two-Layer Compression System.
The Coban 2 Lite system may be suitable for patients who:
- Require reduced compression
- Have mixed arterial and venous disease
- Are less tolerant of full compression
- Are frail or less mobile
- Are new to compression therapy
- Require management of oedema or lymphoedema
The Coban 2 Lite system may be used in patients with an ABPI of 0.5 or above, following appropriate vascular assessment.
Important Information
The Coban 2 Lite Comfort Bandage is not a standalone compression treatment. It is designed to be used with the compatible Coban 2 Lite Compression Layer.
Compression therapy should only be initiated following appropriate clinical and vascular assessment.
Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for use and local compression therapy guidance.
Why choose Coban 2 Lite Comfort Bandage?
The Coban 2 Lite Comfort Layer provides a soft, flexible and protective inner layer for reduced compression therapy.
Its low-profile foam construction helps cushion the skin while conforming closely to the limb, creating a secure foundation for the outer compression layer.
For healthcare professionals who require the individual components of the Coban 2 Lite system, this standalone Comfort Bandage provides a convenient Layer 1 option.
