Setopress Compression Bandages

Setopress is Molnlycke's high-compression bandage designed for the management of venous leg ulcers and chronic venous insufficiency, where consistent, graduated pressure makes the difference between healing and stalled progress. What sets it apart is the built-in rectangle guide printed on the bandage itself: when you stretch the material until the rectangles become squares, you know you've reached the correct sub-bandage pressure. That visual cue takes much of the guesswork out of applying therapeutic compression, which is why clinicians and wound care nurses reach for it when reproducible results matter.

We carry the Molnlycke Setopress Compression Bandage in 4 inches x 3.5 meters (item 3505), available as a single lightweight, high-compression roll or as an economical box of 12 for clinics and facilities managing ongoing caseloads. Each bandage closes with a safety pin, comes in white, and is non-sterile — standard for the multi-layer or single-layer compression regimens used in venous ulcer protocols.

A common question from buyers new to the product: how does Setopress differ from a standard elastic wrap? Ordinary wraps offer support, not measured therapeutic compression. Setopress delivers sustained high compression with the tension-indicator system, so the pressure you intend to apply is the pressure the leg actually receives — and it's designed to stay in place through daily activity rather than loosening within hours. It's washable and reusable within a single patient's course of care, which helps stretch supply budgets in longer treatment plans.

For best results, Setopress is typically applied over a wound dressing and, where indicated, an under-cast padding layer to protect bony prominences. Always follow your clinician's compression protocol and confirm arterial status before applying high compression.
