Why Choose Surgilast Size 3 Net?

For patients with sensitive, fragile, or very hairy skin, removing adhesive tape can cause skin trauma. Surgilast Size 4 solves this problem by using elastic tension rather than glue.

It is particularly recommended for securing bulky dressings on the upper arm, calf, or foot. Its mesh structure allows the skin to breathe, which is crucial for the healing of chronic or post-operative wounds. Additionally, it allows for quick visual inspection of the wound through the mesh without disturbing the dressing.

Features of the Surgilast Size 4 Bandage

• Latex-Free: Manufactured with hypoallergenic materials to minimize the risk of allergic reactions.

• High Extensibility: Stretches to accommodate thick dressings while maintaining gentle, constant pressure.

• Superior Breathability: The open mesh prevents moisture buildup, promoting a healthy healing environment.

• Customized Fit: Can be cut to the desired length with scissors without fraying.

• Freedom of Movement: Allows full joint mobility, even when worn over the knee or elbow.

How to Apply Your Surgilast Tubular Bandage

1. Prepare the wound site and apply the primary dressing (gauze or pad).

2. Cut a length of Surgilast Size 4 sufficient to cover the dressing with a margin on each side.

3. Stretch the net sideways by inserting your hands inside the tube.

4. Gently slide the net over the limb until it is positioned over the dressing.

5. Smooth the mesh to ensure an even distribution of tension.

How to Maintain and Reuse Your Tubular Bandage

While often considered a single-use item, its durability allows it to be removed and reapplied several times (e.g., to change the gauze). If not contaminated by bodily fluids, it can be hand-washed in lukewarm water and air-dried. This durability makes it an economical option for long-term home treatments.

Usage Tips for First Responders

The Size 4 format is indispensable for industrial or sports first aid kits. It is particularly effective for holding large trauma dressings on the lower limbs or for securing ice packs on wide areas such as an adult's calf or thigh.
