How Setopress Works?

• Setopress is a lightweight, high compression bandage. To ensure correct application, a simple visual guide is indelibly printed on the bandage. The visual guide consists of color rectangles that become squares when the correct extension is reached.
• 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 can heal even long-standing leg ulcers within 12 weeks. On the other side are green rectangles giving moderate compression (30mmHg at the ankle).
• Moderate compression may be used initially if a patient is not used to compression therapy or finds it difficult to comply.
• The visual application guide makes it easy to apply Setopress consistently and correctly.
