Viscopaste Zinc Paste Bandage is a medicated cotton bandage impregnated with a 10% zinc oxide paste, designed to manage venous leg ulcers, eczema, and chronic wounds. The bandage provides effective wound care by promoting healing and protecting the skin.

This zinc paste bandage is highly effective for treating varicose veins, chronic leg ulcers, and dermatitis.

Viscopaste bandage can be applied in two methods:

1. Start at the base of the toes and loosely wrap the bandage around the foot, heel, and leg in a spiral up to just below the knee. Smooth and shape the bandage around the leg after application.

2. Start at the base of the toes and loosely wrap the bandage around the foot and heel. From the ankle, fold the bandage back on itself in a pleat at the front of the leg with each turn, continuing up to just below the knee. Compression bandaging may be applied afterward. Cover the applied Viscopaste with a bandage or dressing to protect clothing.

Viscopaste should be applied with graduated compression bandaging only after evaluating the patient to rule out arterial disease. A Doppler ultrasound is advised for this assessment. Compression bandaging is not suitable for patients with arterial disease (ABPI < 0.8) and is not recommended for diabetic patients with advanced small vessel disease. Undetected reduced arterial flow can lead to pressure necrosis, amputation, or death. The likelihood of having both arterial and venous disease increases with age. Viscopaste should not be used if there is a known sensitivity or allergy to its ingredients. Leg ulcer patients' skin is prone to sensitization from topical medications, including preservatives. Sensitization should be considered if the surrounding skin worsens, and such cases should be referred for specialist diagnosis, including patch testing. Occlusive bandages enhance absorption, so caution is needed when applying topical steroids, anesthetics, or retinoids under the bandage, as their absorption may increase. This can shorten the effect duration of a topical anesthetic and raise the risk of sensitization to these products.
