Why Choose Surgilast Size 2 Net?

Securing a dressing on a mobile joint like the elbow or ankle can be frustrating with adhesives that peel off or restrict movement. Surgilast Size 2 simplifies this process by sliding on like a sleeve.

It is highly recommended for seniors with thin skin or for children, as it eliminates the pain and skin trauma associated with removing adhesive tapes. Additionally, its ventilated structure allows for quick visual inspection of the wound without disturbing the healing site or causing skin maceration.

Features of the Surgilast Size 2 Bandage

• Latex-Free: Hypoallergenic formula safe for all skin types.

• Multidirectional Elasticity: Conforms perfectly to body curves, even over joints.

• Total Breathability: The open mesh promotes air circulation for optimal healing.

• Custom Cutting: Can be cut to the exact length required without fraying.

• Light Compression: Keeps the dressing in place without restricting blood flow.

How to Apply Your Surgilast Tubular Bandage

1. Apply your primary dressing (gauze, ointment) directly to the wound.

2. Cut a length of Surgilast net sufficient to cover and slightly overlap the dressing.

3. Stretch the net sideways using both hands.

4. Slide the net over the limb until it perfectly covers the area to be protected.

5. Adjust the position for optimal comfort.

How to Maintain and Reuse Your Tubular Bandage

While Surgilast is primarily intended for single use in clinical settings, it can be removed and reapplied several times when inspecting the wound. If not soiled, it can be gently hand-washed in lukewarm water and air-dried to extend its use at home for the same patient.

Usage Tips for First Responders

Surgilast is the ideal tool for sports first aid kits. It is excellent for holding an ice pack on an elbow or ankle without having to use heavy compression bandages. In the workplace, it allows for a quick return to activities after minor care, as it does not hinder the worker's mobility.
