Urgo K2 Latex-Free Two-Strap Compression System

What is the Urgo K2 latex-free dual-band compression system used for?

The Urgo K2 latex-free dual-band compression system is recommended for venous insufficiency. This medical device provides the necessary therapeutic pressure level from the very first application, ensuring optimal effectiveness, safety, and comfort. This medical compression bandage is recommended for treating leg ulcers and edema of venous or lymphatic origin. It applies firm compression to the affected area to stimulate blood circulation in the leg. Blood supplies nutrients to the organs and also carries away toxins produced by cellular metabolism as it flows back toward the heart.

Thanks to its compression properties, Urgo K2provides a massaging effect that offers moderate compression at rest and stronger compression while walking due to leg movements. It consists of two strips that are very easy and safe to use thanks to the PresPressure System.

We also offer Urgo Extreme Cut-to-Size Bandages, 6 cm x 1 m, at the best price in our online pharmacy.

How should you use this compression device correctly?

Application method below the knee (venous leg ulcer or edema):

1. Hold the foot at a 90° angle, with the toes pointing upward. Apply Ktech (strip 1) at the base of the toes, wrapping it around twice to secure it, ensuring that the padded side is in direct contact with the skin and that the pressure indicator is located on the top side of the strip. Continue by wrapping the band in a figure-8 pattern around the ankle, without applying excessive tension to the foot and ensuring the heel is fully covered.
2. Work your way up to the knee using a spiral pattern and stretching the wrap appropriately: the pressure indicator printed on the wraps should form a circle. To ensure proper coverage, the pressure indicator should be just barely covered (50% coverage). Finish 2 cm below the knee and trim off the excess tape. Secure with a band-aid.
3. Apply Kpress (strip 2) over Ktech (strip 1) using the same technique, starting one finger above Ktech and ending one finger below Ktech so that only Ktech is in direct contact with the skin. Once applied, gently press down on the bandage with your hands to ensure the system stays securely in place.

Application method up to the thigh (edema): If necessary, apply an appropriate bandage to the toes. To apply the bandage up to the thigh, follow the same method as for application below the knee (with the same overlap), but use the following sequence of strips:

1. Apply an 8-cm Ktech strip to the foot (or 10 cm, depending on foot size) and up to the ankle.
2. Then apply a 10-cm Ktech strip. Stop just above the knee; bend the knee slightly. If necessary and for added comfort, pad the back of the knee with cotton wool.
3. Continue up to the top of the thigh with a 10-cm or 12-cm Ktech strip (whichever is most appropriate) and secure it in place with adhesive tape.
4. Apply Kpress over Ktech using the same sequence of strips and application method.
5. Trim off any excess tape. Once applied, gently press down on the bandage with your hands to ensure the system stays securely in place.
