Setopress™
Benefits of Using Setopress
- Promotes Healing of
Even Long Standing
Venous Leg Ulcers - Thin Enough to be
Worn with Shoes, to
Encourage Mobility
- Washable for Repeated Use, with No
Loss of Effect - 3.5m Long (unstretched)- Long Enough
for Even the Largest Limbs
DO NOT apply Setopress if arterial insufficiency
is present or suspected
DO NOT use the figure-of-eight bandaging technique
DO NOT use on limbs with a circumference of less than 7"
(18cm)
PEC high compression bandage Type 3c Setopress high
compression bandages are used in the treatment of venous
leg ulcers and associated conditions requiring graduated compression of the leg.
Setopress has a lightweight advanced fabric construction. To ensure correct
application, a simple visual guide is permanently printed on both sides of the
bandage.
The visual guide consists of color rectangles which becomes squares
when the correct extension is reached. The visual application guide makes it
easy to apply Setopress
consistently and correctly.
For high compression, use brown rectangles stretched to squares. For moderate compression, use green rectangles stretched to squares.
On one side of the bandage are brown rectangles which become squares when
the correct extension is reached to provide over 40mmHg
at the ankle for
optimum healing rates. When applied correctly, Setopress high compression
bandages produce a level of compression
that has been shown to heal even
long-standing leg ulcers within 12 weeks (1).
On the other side are green rectangles giving moderate compression
(30mmHg at the ankle).
If a patient is not used to compression therapy
or finds it difficult to comply, moderate compression may be used initially.
