UrgoK2 is a two-layer compression bandaging system that combines a short-stretch compression bandage with a long stretch compression bandage. It is the only such system on the market today with printed pressure indicators to guide correct stretch and overlap during application on both layers, and the only system with different kit sizes that change the overlap of the bandages to ensure the correct pressure is applied consistently.

Arterial conditions (arterial or predominantly arterial ulcers; known or suspected arterial disease). Ankle-brachial Index (ABI) <0.8. Patients suffering from diabetic microangiopathy, ischemic phlebitis (phlegmasia cerulea dolens), septic thrombosis. Ulceration caused by infection. Allergy to any of the components.

Check that the ABI >0.8 before prescribing the bandage system. For patients with diabetes, heart failure or advanced microvascular disease, use the compression system with close medical monitoring following appropriate treatment. In case of infected peri-ulcer dermatitis, treat infection before commencing compression bandage therapy. In case of an ulcer from a rare origin (vasculitis, hemopathy, pyoderma gangrenosum, etc.) the compression system should only be used following specialist referral. The efficacy of UrgoK2 has been tested and validated for the application KTECH and KPRESS together. The PresSure system has been specifically designed to aid application of the bandages; it is important to follow the instructions carefully to achieve the recommended therapeutic pressure. If you have any concern, especially in case of pain whilst wearing the compression system, contact your doctor or clinician. Any serious incident linked to the product has to be reported to the manufacturer.
