Urgo K2 compress system ankle circumference 18 - 25cm 8cm wide, 6 pcs

Product features

UrgoK2 is a two-component compression system that consists of a short-stretch bandage and a long-stretch bandage.The exclusive PresSureSystem technology, based on pressure indicators, facilitates application with a correct stretch as well as a correct overlap according to the selected set.The product is a medical device and should only be used after carefully reading the package leaflet and sufficient knowledge of the functions and use.

The benefits of UrgoK2 include comfortable wear during the day and night, which improves patient adherence.It allows easy wearing of shoes and good ankle mobility.Thanks to the PresSure system, application is easy, quick and accurate, with therapeutic pressure achieved the first time you apply it.The system provides a high compression pressure at the ankle of approximately 40 mmHg and a high stiffness index that ensures continuous compression through a strong working pressure and a moderate resting pressure.This creates a massage effect that supports venous return and edema reduction.The compression system can remain in place for up to seven days.
