Mode of action:
UrgoK2/KTwo is a two layer compression bandage system, which benefits from the exclusive technology of the PresSure system.
The PresSure system has been specifically designed to aid the application of the recommended therapeutic pressure (average 40 mmHg) for venous leg ulcers from the first application.
UrgoK2/KTwo provides the same gold standard compression provided by four layer bandage systems, but with only 2 layers.

– Improving venous return and oedema reduction
– Comfortable day and night = improved patient concordance
– Reduced bandage slippage

– Latex Free option available
Instructions for use:
Before applying the bandages: – Examine the shape of the leg and identify any areas at risk of excessive pressure (i.e. bony prominences)
– If a wound is present, apply an appropriate dressing before applying any bandages. Protect and reshape leg with wadding (K-Soft) if necessary
– Measure the ankle circumference and choose the correct kit accordingly (ankle size 18-25cm or 25-32cm)
– It is preferable to apply the compression system first thing in the morning or after the patients legs have been elevated for an hour to minimise any orthostatic oedema
– Depending on the indication, assess the need for toe to knee (venous leg ulcer or oedema) or toe to thigh (oedema) bandaging and choose the appropriate kit and bandage width
