HEALING PEOPLE, IT’S AT THE HEART OF EVERYTHING WE DO

 


Leg Ulcers, Diabetic Foot Ulcers and Pressure Ulcers take over 200 days to heal, despite standard treatment. 200 days with a wound represents a huge burden for patients, for clinicians and for the healthcare economy.

Reducing healing time is the priority.

Urgo Medical offers a range of innovative dressings, compression bandages and hosiery, all designed to improve wound healing and patients’ quality of life. We believe strongly in evidence-based care and pride ourselves on our products having the highest level of clinical evidence available.

Our focus is working in partnership with healthcare professionals to move from managing wounds to healing wounds. We offer market leading education and support through our experienced clinical team to help improve patient outcomes and reduce healing time.
Wound Healing


 
URGO Start Plus Treatment Range
UrgoStart Plus treatment range is indicated at any healing stage for all leg
ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, pressure ulcers and longstanding acute wounds. The TLC-NOSF Healing Matrix helps to clean and close the wound simultaneously, and returns the patient to healing even sooner.
NICE logo

UrgoStart Plus treatment range is recommended by NICE for the treatment of venous leg ulcers and diabetic foot ulcers1, and is suitable for simple wounds
 
 
Stopwatch
UrgoStart Plus treatment is the only treatment that is clinically proven to reduce healing time2-5

UrgoKTwo provides comfortable, continuous compression. UrgoKTwo is a multicomponent system that combines a long-stretch bandage and a short-stretch bandage, giving you the best of both worlds. UrgoKTwo is for all patients with venous and mixed leg ulcers, with and without oedema.


The Cochrane Review, 2012, recommends multi-component systems, and states that “multicomponent bandages are more effective than single-component bandage systems in healing venous leg” and that “multi-component systems appear to perform better when one component is an elastic bandage.”
