DESCRIPTION

■ UrgoK2 is a two layer compression bandage system, benefiting from the PresSure system. This exclusive technology, aids the application of the recommended therapeutic pressure (average 40mm Hg) from the first application.

COMPOSITION • Layer 1: KTECH: white, short-stretch bandage, providing compression,

protection and absorbency.

Composition: wadding: viscose, polyester; knitted layer: polyamide, elastane.

• Layer 2: KPRESS: pink/beige, cohesive long-stretch bandage, providing the additional compression necessary to achieve the therapeutic pressure and securing the bandages in place. Composition: acrylic, polyamide, elastane; cohesive material containing natural latex.

INDICATIONS / CONTRAINDICATIONS / PRECAUTIONS

INDICATIONS■ UrgoK2 is indicated for the treatment of venous leg ulcer, venous oedema

and lymphoedema, which require full compression.

CONTRAINDICATIONS■ Arterial conditions (arterial or predominantly arterial ulcers; known or

suspected arterial disease).■ Ankle Brachial Pressure Index (ABPI) < 0.8. ■ Patients suffering from diabetic microangiopathy, ischaemic phlebitis

(phlegmatia coerulea dolens), septic thrombosis.■ Ulceration due to infection.■ Allergy to any of the components - in particular latex.

PRECAUTIONS■ Check that the ABPI > 0.8 using Doppler ultrasound before prescribing

the bandage system.

■ In the event of diabetes, heart failure or advanced micro-vascular disease, use the compression system with close medical monitoring following appropriate treatment.

■ In case of peri-ulcer infectious dermatosis, treat infection before commencing treatment with the compression system.

■ In case of an ulcer from rare origin (vasculitis, haemopathy, pyoderma gangrenosum,…) the compression system should only be used following specialist referral.

■ The efficacy of UrgoK2 has been tested and validated for the application of 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 any difficulty arises, consult your doctor or clinician immediately.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

■ BEfoRE aPPlying THE BandagES• Examine the shape of the leg and identify any areas at risk of excessive

pressure (ie; bony prominences).• Protect and reshape leg with wadding (K-Soft) if necessary. If a wound is

present, apply an appropriate dressing before applying any bandages.• Measure the ankle circumference and ensure the correct kit has been

chosen (ankle size 18-25cm or 25-32cm).• It is preferable to apply the compression system first thing in the morning

or after the patient’s legs have been elevated for an hour to minimise any orthostatic oedema.

• Depending on the indication, assess the need for toe to knee or toe to thigh bandaging and choose the appropriate kit width.

■ aPPliCaTion mETHod Once the leg has been bandaged, any excess bandage must be cut off as extra wrapping will increase the pressure.

• “BElow – KnEE” aPPliCaTion (venous leg ulcer or oedema) ankle circumference 18-25cm kit – 50% overlap

1. Place foot at a 90° angle - “toes to nose”. Start applying KTECH at the base of the toes by using two turns to anchor the bandage, ensuring the wadding side is in contact with the skin and the pressure indicator is at the top edge, towards the patient. Secure the heel by using a figure of eight, ensuring full coverage of the heel. Do not apply with pressure indicator at full stretch on the foot.

2. Spiral KTECH up the leg from the malleolus, stretching the bandage so that the pressure indicator (printed on the bandage) forms a circle, achieving the therapeutic pressure. A correct overlap is applied when the pressure indicator is just covered (50% overlap). Finish 2cm below popliteal space and cut off any excess bandage. Secure with tape.

3. Apply KPRESS over KTECH using the same application technique as KTECH. For patient comfort, allow a small border of KTECH at the toes and knee. Once applied, press down gently on the bandage to ensure full cohesion.

ankle circumference 25-32cm kit - 2/3 overlap Apply in the same way as the 18-25cm kit, covering the pressure indicator printed in the middle of the bandage (2/3 overlap).

• “ToE To THigH” aPPliCaTion (lymphoedema) If necessary, first bandage the toes using an appropriate bandage. For full leg bandaging, use the same application technique and overlap as the below-knee application, but with the following bandage sequence:

1. Apply an 8cm KTECH to the foot (or 10cm depending on the foot size) – stop at the ankle.

2. Then apply a 10cm KTECH to just above the knee, flexing the knee slightly. Pad behind the knee for comfort if necessary.

3. Continue to top of thigh with either a 10cm or 12cm KTECH (as appropriate) and secure with tape.

4. Apply KPRESS over the KTECH using the same sequence of bandages and application technique.

■ Any excess bandage should be cut off. Press down gently to ensure full cohesion and secure with tape if necessary.

■ UrgoK2 should be left in place both day and night until the next dressing change at the discretion of the clinician.

■ The UrgoK2 kit is designed for single use only.■ Store away from light and heat (<40°C).
