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 8 (GL709) is a durable, non-sterile elastic mesh designed to provide secure retention of medical dressings, pads, and devices on medium-sized anatomical regions including the chest, back, perineum, and axilla. Its tubular elastic knit construction conforms comfortably to body contours while providing gentle, uniform compression without the need for adhesive tape.
Made from a soft blend of cotton and elastic fibers, the Surgilast GL709 promotes skin ventilation, reducing moisture buildup and enhancing patient comfort during extended wear. The 25-yard roll can be easily cut to the desired length and resists unraveling, making it practical for clinical and home care applications.
