UrgoK2 Urgo Medical 10cm - Compression Bandage Kit

UrgoK2 is a multi-component compression bandage kit that combines two different types of bandages: an internal short-stretch bandage and an external long-stretch bandage.
The association of these two synergistic and complementary bandages guarantees effective, continuous and reliable compression therapy.
Both bandages in the kit are equipped with a technology called PresSure System which guarantees the application of the required therapeutic pressure (40 mmHg at the ankle) from the first application, maintaining it for up to 7 days.

This system consists of ovals printed on the back of the two bandages which become circular when the correct therapeutic compression is achieved.
These pressure indicators are also arranged in such a way as to guide the operator's hand in a correct overlapping of the bandages, guaranteeing the right number of turns to make a therapeutic bandage that guarantees the right pressure.

• The white bandage (KTECH), of short stretch, guarantees compression, protection and absorption. This generates high pressure in activity and low pressure at rest. Given its peculiar composition and regular texture, labenda ensures maximum comfort for the patient and a good degree of absorption of exudates in the presence of venous ulcers, avoiding creasing during application.
• The second pink / beige bandage (KPRESS), cohesive, external to the first provides the additional pressure necessary to reach the therapeutic pressure of 40mmHg in the ankle. a maintenance pressure that helps venous return even during the patient's non-activity phase.

UrgoK2 is indicated for the treatment of venous lesions of the lower limbs, venous edema or lymphedema that require strong compression.
Single use, not sterile.
Latex free.

How to use

BEFORE APPLYING THE BANDAGES:

- Examine the shape of the leg and identify any areas at risk of excessive pressure (e.g. bony prominences).
- Protect and reshape the leg with wadding if necessary. If there is a lesion, apply appropriate dressing before bandages.
- Measure the ankle circumference and make sure you have chosen the correct kit (ankle circumference 18-25 cm or 25-32 cm).
- It is preferable to apply UrgoK2 in the morning or after the patient has kept the leg raised for one hour to minimize any orthostatic edema.

APPLICATION PROCEDURE:

Kit for an ankle of 18-25 cm in circumference - 50% overlap:
1. Position the foot so that it forms a 90 ° angle - toes up.
2. Begin applying KTECH to the root of the fingers by making two turns to secure the bandage, making sure that the pad is in contact with the skin and that the PresSure System pressure indicator is facing the leg.
3. Secure the heel using a figure eight, ensuring full coverage of the heel.
4. Bring KTECH up towards the leg starting from the malleolus, pulling the bandage so that the pressure indicator (printed on the bandage) forms a circle reaching the therapeutic pressure. Correct overlap is applied when the pressure gauge is slightly covered (50% overlap). End 2 cm below the popliteal fossa and remove any excess from the bandage. Secure it with tape.
5. Apply KPRESS on top of KTECH using the same application technique as KTECH. For patient convenience, leave a small margin of KTECH at the big toe and knee. Once applied, gently press on the bandage to ensure total adherence.

Kit for an ankle of 25-32 cm in circumference - 2/3 overlap:
Apply in the same way as the 18-25 cm kit, covering the PresSure System pressure indicator which in this case is printed in the middle of the bandage (2/3 overlap).
Once the leg has been bandaged, any additional bandages should be stopped and cut as an extra bandage would increase the pressure. Press gently to ensure complete adhesion. UrgoK2 should be left in place day and night until the next dressing change based on the specialist's opinion.

Warnings

In case of diabetes, cardiac arrest, micro-vascular pathologies in an advanced state, use UrgoK2 under strict medical supervision following an adequate treatment.
In case of dermatitis, treat the infection before starting treatment with UrgoK2.
In case of an ulcer of rare origin (vasculitis, haemopathy, gangrenous pyoderma) UrgoK2 should only be used in the opinion of the specialist.
The effectiveness of UrgoK2 has been tested and validated for the application of KTECH together with KPRESS. The UrgoK2 PresSure System has been specially designed to facilitate application; it is important to follow the instructions carefully to achieve the recommended therapy pressure.
If in doubt consult your doctor.
