Setopress high compression bandage is a lightweight bandage that delivers progressive high compression for the treatment of venous leg ulcers. The bandage has a visible application guidance written on it, making it easier to apply consistently and accurately. The visual guidance comprises of color rectangles that transform into squares when the correct extent is reached. On one side of the bandage, brown rectangles indicate heavy compression, while green rectangles indicate moderate compression.
Extending the Brown rectangles to squares results in 40mmHg at the ankles. Extending the green rectangles to squares results in 30mmHg at the ankles. If a patient is unfamiliar with compression therapy or finds it difficult to cooperate, modest compression may be utilized initially. When properly applied, Setopress high compression bandages provide a level of compression that has been found to heal even long-standing leg injuries in 12 weeks. The visual application guide makes it simple to use Setopress consistently and accurately.

Features:

• Color: Ecru.
• Size: 4 inch x 3.8 yard (10 cm x 3.5 m).
• Not made with natural rubber latex.
• Delivers effective high compression.
• Allows for two levels of compression.
• Simple to use application technique.
• Long enough to accommodate even the largest limbs.
• Thin enough to wear with shoes to improve mobility.
• Washable for multiple uses.
• 3.5 meters long to accommodate even the largest limbs.

Fiber content: Polyamide, Elastane, Cotton.

Indications: Suitable for use in the treatment of venous leg injury and associated conditions requiring graduated compression of the leg.

Contraindications:

• Do not use figure of eight bandaging.
• Do not apply if arterial insufficiency is present or suspected.
• Do not use on limbs with a circumference of less than 18cm/7in.

Directions to use: Note: A padding layer should be used prior to application.

Commence bandaging at the base of the toes and enclose heel with no extension.

• Apply around foot starting at base of toes (no extension).
• Make two turns around the ankle to enclose heel (no extension).
• Return to base of toes and make one turn around foot (no extension).

Now with extension continue up the leg in an ascending spiral.

• Now apply full extension (rectangles becomes squares).
• Apply with 50% overlap (full extension).
• Continue to apply as an ascending spiral (full extension).

It is important to use the same indicator for consistent extension throughout the application. Finally secure bandage just below the knee.

• Stop bandaging just below the knee. Cut off any excess bandage.
