Tubifast 2-Way-Stretch can be used as a dressing
retention
and skin covering for any part of the body.
It
can also be
used for patch wrapping and as an
undercast
stockinette.
Tubifast 2-Way Stretch is the world’s first and only
lightweight
elasticated tubular bandage with radial and
longitudinal stretch.
It is manufactured from rayon with very fine
elastane threads
knitted into the fabric to provide light elasticity.
Tubifast 2-Way Stretch holds dressings securely,
without
constriction or compression. Its light elasticity
allows patients
complete freedom of movement. The light, open weave
fabric
allows air to circulate over the skin, helping to
avoid maceration.
Tubifast 2-Way Stretch is available in a range of
five widths,
designed to fit snugly over all limbs, no matter
what the size
or shape. Each size is identified by a colour coded
line knitted
into the bandage. It’s quick and easy to use: cut to
size and
stretch over the dressing for an even,
non-constrictive fit.
Because of its tubular construction, Tubifast 2-Way
Stretch is
particularly suitable for holding dressings in place
on difficult
areas such as stumps of amputee patients. No pins or
tapes
are necessary to retain Tubifast 2-Way Stretch.
1 Published data shows that Tubifast 2-Way Stretch exceeds the minimum
requirement of longitudinal stretch for the actions of sitting, bending and flexing.
