Setopress® High Compression Bandage – 10 cm x 3.5 m (SKU: 3505)

Description

The Setopress® High Compression Bandage (3505) is a clinically proven compression system primarily used in the management of venous leg ulcers (VLU) and chronic venous insufficiency. Its standout feature is the integrated visual application guide: reinforced rectangles printed on the bandage that become perfect squares when the correct stretch is achieved—removing guesswork and improving consistency in compression therapy.

When applied correctly, Setopress® delivers graduated, reproducible compression of approximately 30 mmHg at the ankle (brown rectangles) or 20 mmHg (green rectangles), depending on the chosen stretch. The bandage is thin, lightweight, breathable, and can be worn comfortably under footwear. It is also washable and reusable, making it a cost-effective option for long-term care.
