INDICATIONS

• Treatment of venous or mixed leg ulcers and/or lower limb oedemas where a reduced level of compression is recommended, in adults.

CONTRAINDICATIONS

• Severe arterial conditions, notably with recent Ankle Brachial Pressure Index (ABPI) less than 0.6
• Patients suffering from phlegmatia coerulea dolens, septic phlebitis
• Oedema from congestive cardiac failure
• Epifascial arterial bypass
• Known hypersensitivity to any of the components

PRECAUTIONS

• Single use: do not wash to maintain the performances of the medical device.
• Do not sterilize.
• Do not use in direct contact with a wound.
• In the event of arterial bypass, cardiac failure, peripheral neuropathy (for example in the case of diabetes), infected peri-ulcer dermatitis or acute cellulitis (erysipelas), use the compression system after specialist referral and under close medical monitoring.
• In case of ABPI more than or equal to 1.3, suspicion of media calcific sclerosis or history of revascularization, an extensive vascular assessment is recommended before initiating the compression therapy.
• In case of infected leg ulcer, start treating infection in combination with compression therapy.
• The efficacy of UrgoK2 Lite has been tested and validated for the application of Ktech Lite and KPress together.
• Follow the application method given to achieve the recommended therapeutic pressure. The PresSure System has been specially designed to guide the application of the bandages.
• This compression system should be worn continuously day and night until the next care at the discretion of the clinician.
• If experiencing discomfort, pain or skin reactions whilst wearing this product, patient should contact his/her healthcare professional.
