A venous leg ulcer does not sleep at night. That’s why applying continuous pressure is so important. UrgoK2 guarantees continuous compression day and night — whether the patient is in motion or not1
UrgoK2 removes the guesswork about whether your patient is getting the effective compression to heal, thanks to easy-to-follow visual guides.
85% of nurses achieved recommended pressure on their first application of UrgoK24
According to patients, UrgoK2 provides comfortable compression around the clock for better concordance2,3
What patient doesn’t want to get back to normal? UrgoK2 is more breathable and less bulky than other bandages, helping your patients maintain their everyday life.
• Easy to wear with shoes
• Good ankle mobility
• Low sensations of itchiness and heat
UrgoK2 dual compression system combines the benefits of inelastic and elastic bandages to ensure Continuous, Consistent, and Comfortable pressure.1
Two active compression bandages coming together to provide therapeutic compression that patients need.
1 long-stretch
(elastic) bandage applies 20% of recommended compression.2
• Maintains pressure at rest
• Holds system in place
1 soft-padded,
short-stretch
(inelastic)
bandage
applies 80% of recommended compression.2
• Confers rigidity
• Contributes to comfort
• Absorbs exudate
Two components working together to reduce edema3.
186 patients with ulceration of venous origin (ABI between 0.8 – 1.3) across 37 centers and 3 countries.

UrgoK2 is available in a variety of sizes. Ordering information can be found in the table below.
UrgoK2 is indicated for the treatment of venous leg ulcer, venous edema and lymphedema, which require full compression.
UrgoK2 Lite is indicated for the treatment of venous or mixed leg ulcer, venous edema and lymphedema, which require a reduced level of compression.
