Setopress is a 10cm x 3.5m reusable, medium to high compression bandage that provides graduated compression in the management of venous leg ulcers. To ensure correct application, a simple visual guide is indelibly printed on the bandage. The visual guide consists of colour rectangles which become squares when the correct extension is reached. On one side of the bandage, extending the brown rectangles to squares provides 40mmHg at the ankle. On the other, extending the green rectangles to squares provides 30mmHg at the ankle.
