This unique mode of action allows patients complete freedom of movement, with added comfort. Ideal for dressing retention and skin covering for any part of the body. It can also be used for patch wrapping and as an under-cast stockinette. Tubifast 2-Way Stretch holds dressings securely in place without the need for tapes, pins or ties. It is quick and easy to use, with less risk of fraying than traditional tubular bandages. Particularly suitable for holding dressings in place on difficult areas such as stumps of amputee patients. The light, open weave fabric allows air to circulate over the skin, helping to avoid maceration. Manufactured from rayon with very fine elastane threads knitted into the fabric to provide light elasticity. Each size is identified by a coloured line knitted into the bandage. Its quick and easy to use: cut to size and stretch over the dressing for an even, non-constrictive fit.
