Elastic Tubular Net Bandage

Elastic Tubular Net Bandage

An elastic tubular mesh bandage supplied on a roll, designed to hold wound dressings in place without adhesive. Useful on areas that are difficult to dress.

Suitable for sites where gauze cannot be easily secured and where strong adhesive tape is impractical, and for patients with sensitivity to adhesive tapes.

Directions for use

• Cut a piece approximately twice the length of the area to be covered, adding an extra 2–3 cm.
• Stretch the net and pull it over the site to cover it using about half of the cut length.
• Fold the remaining half back over the first layer to provide two layers over the site.

Length

• 6.25 m (per roll).
