Why Choose Surgilast Size 3 Net?

Applying adhesive tape to hairy areas or fragile skin can be painful and cause irritation. Surgilast Size 3 eliminates these issues by providing fixation through a simple slide-on application.

It is particularly effective for securing dressings on mobile joints such as the elbow or knee (for smaller individuals), as it does not restrict mobility. Its open-mesh design also allows caregivers to monitor the condition of the dressing or wound at a glance without having to remove the protection.

Features of the Surgilast Size 3 Bandage

• Latex-Free: Hypoallergenic material, ideal for preventing skin reactions and allergies.

• Superior Elasticity: Stretches easily to fit body morphology while maintaining constant tension.

• Maximum Breathability: Promotes air circulation, reducing the risk of skin maceration and infection.

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

• Optimal Comfort: Applies uniform pressure that does not interfere with blood circulation.

How to Apply Your Surgilast Tubular Bandage

1. Clean the wound and apply your primary sterile gauze or dressing.

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

3. Stretch the net sideways using both hands.

4. Gently slide it over the limb (arm, leg, foot) until it completely covers the dressing.

5. Adjust the ends so they lie flat against the skin.

How to Maintain and Reuse Your Tubular Bandage

While designed for single use, Surgilast is robust enough to be removed and reapplied multiple times during wound care. If not soiled, it can be hand-washed in lukewarm water with mild soap and air-dried. This allows for extended use for the same patient, which is particularly practical for long-term care.

Usage Tips for First Responders

The Size 3 format is the most popular for first aid kits because it covers the majority of adult limb needs. It is perfect for holding an ice pack in place for a sprain or for quickly securing an emergency dressing for burns or significant abrasions on a limb.

FAQ Regarding Surgilast Size 3
