How to Buy an Unna Boot

The Unna boot is a specialty compression bandage used in caring for flesh wounds on the lower leg. Because it is a specialty item, many common retail pharmacies do not keep them well stocked. However, the Unna boot is readily available from many online suppliers.

Instructions

• 1

  Visit various websites that sell specialty medical equipment, wound care products and general nursing supplies. Several good options are DirectBuyMedical.com, VitalityMedical.com and WoundCareShop.com.

• 2

  Browse the various websites' selections of Unna boots. Most websites will list Unna boots under "Specialty Wound Care" or "Compression Bandages." If you can't find it listed, simply use the website's product search bar to search for "Unna boot."

• 3

  Determine the size (length/width) of the bandages you need. If you are stocking a clinic or urgent care office, it is good to keep a variety of sizes available. It is also important to keep a large stock of primer bandages to dress prior to the application of the Unna boot wrap. These primers should be available for purchase alongside the Unna boot on most websites.
