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.
