Multicomponent compression bandage system that combines elastic and inelastic components. Provides sustained graduated compression for up to 7 days. The first layer, KTech, is a short-stretch (inelastic) bandage that delivers stiffness, absorbency and 80% of the pressure. The second-layer, K-Press, is an elastic, cohesive bandage that keeps the system in place and provides additional compression to provide therapeutic pressure. The combined effect is designed to provide continuous, consistent and comfortable compression, both when active and at rest. Donates an average pressure of 20mmHg at the ankle. Also available in latex-free.
For the treatment of mixed aetiology leg ulcers, associated oedema and lymphoedema
Severe arterial disease (ABPI <0.6). Diabetic microangiopathy, ischaemic phlebitis and septic thrombosis. Allergy to any of the components, in particular latex for the ‘non-latex-free’ version. Ulceration caused by infection.
Two-layer compression system that offers therapeutical compression and manages skin conditions at the same time. The first layer, infused with calamine, soothes and protects the skin, reducing irritation and maintaining skin integrity. The second layer delivers consistent therapeuticsl compression.
Two thin layers provide the stiffness required to generate sustained working pressures/low resting pressures to reduce oedema/prevent venous reflux without the bulk of traditional bandages. The interlocking layers cohere to each other, creating an inelastic sleeve that conforms to the limb and reduces the potential for bandage slippage and discomfort.
Two thin layers (purple packaging) provide the stiffness required to generate sustained working pressures/low resting pressures to reduce oedema/prevent venous reflux without the bulk of traditional bandages. The interlocking layers cohere to each other, creating an inelastic sleeve that conforms to the limb and reduces the potential for bandage slippage and discomfort.
Designed for reduced compression. Two thin layers provide the stiffness required to generate sustained working pressures/low resting pressures to reduce oedema/prevent venous reflux without the bulk of traditional bandages. The interlocking layers cohere to each other, creating an inelastic sleeve that conforms to the limb and reduces the potential for bandage slippage and discomfort.
Two-layer system (green packaging) designed for sustained, therapeutic compression with reduced sub-bandage resting pressures. Comprises a latex-free foam padding layer and a latex-free, cohesive, compression bandage. Once applied, the two layers bond to form a single-layer bandage. Can be worn for up to 7 days.
A cohesive elastic wrap constructed from a non-woven material and elastic fibres. The cohesive properties allow the wrap to stick to itself but not to other materials or skin.
