Why Choose Surgilast for Extremity Care?

Using adhesive tape on fingers or wrists can restrict movement, cause skin irritation during removal, or leave sticky residue behind. Surgilast eliminates these drawbacks. Its mesh structure allows for total breathability, preventing wound maceration while offering exceptional freedom of movement.

Furthermore, it allows caregivers or patients to monitor the condition of the dressing through the mesh without having to remove the entire wrap. It is an economical and hygienic choice for podiatry clinics, dermatology offices, and industrial first aid kits across Canada.

Features of the Surgilast Size 1 Bandage

• Latex-Free: Hypoallergenic formula safe for all skin types, eliminating the risk of allergic reactions.

• Multidirectional Elasticity: Conforms perfectly to the irregular contours of finger and wrist joints.

• Rapid Application: Ideal for frequent dressing changes, reducing intervention time.

• Superior Comfort: Does not apply excessive pressure, ensuring optimal blood circulation.

• Customizable Format: Can be cut to the exact length required without fraying.

How to Apply Your Surgilast Tubular Bandage

1. First, apply your primary sterile gauze or dressing to the wound.

2. Cut a section of Surgilast net slightly longer than the area to be covered.

3. Stretch the net with your fingers and gently slide it over the finger or wrist.

4. Adjust the net so it fully secures the dressing. For a finger, you can create a "cap" by twisting the net at the tip and folding it back over itself.

Maintenance and Care Management

While Surgilast is generally disposable for hygiene reasons, its durability allows it to be removed and repositioned when inspecting the wound. Store your net sections in a clean, dry place. Due to its lightweight nature, it is an essential addition to travel and sports first aid kits.

FAQ Regarding Surgilast Size 1

Does the net fray if it is cut?

No, the patented design of Surgilast allows it to be cut at any point without the mesh unraveling, ensuring a clean finish.

Which body part corresponds to Size 1?

Size 1 is designed for fingers, toes, small adult wrists, or children's hands. For an average adult arm or ankle, Size 2 would be more appropriate.

Can it be used with ointments?

Yes, it is ideal for holding a dressing soaked in cream or ointment in place, as it does not absorb liquids the same way a solid gauze bandage does, allowing the product to remain on the skin.
