Surgilast is a tubular stretch net made of high quality material and is knitted in a continuous seamless band. Strong and highly elastic, Surgilast stretches well beyond its relaxed length and diameter and applies gentle pressure to keep bandages securely in place. Available in a broad range of sizes and easily customized, Surgilast can accommodate a wide variety of bandaging and support needs.
Unlike competing elastic net brands, Surgilast has a strong, yet yielding, elasticity. Surgilast's skin contact surface is smooth, not loopy like most other brands, offering greater patient comfort.

The Surgilast Tubular Elastic Bandage Retainer – Size 13 (GL713) is a non-sterile, extra-wide elastic mesh bandage specifically designed to securely hold dressings, pads, and medical devices on obese patients or those requiring maximum coverage. Its tubular knit construction offers excellent stretch and conformability, providing gentle, uniform compression without adhesives.
Made from a soft blend of cotton and elastic fibers, the GL713 promotes breathability and comfort, helping to reduce moisture and skin irritation during extended wear.
