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. Features: | Pre-cut shapes | Nylon and rubber tubular elastic net construction | Gentle but effective pressure | Non-adhesive | Reusable | Easy to apply | High quality construction | Easy to customize | Eliminates need for adhesive tape | Allows maximum air-flow | Smooth Surface | Won't run or unravel | Wide range of sizes | Non-binding | Available in latex-free form
The Surgilast Tubular Elastic Bandage Retainer – Size 7 (GL708) is a versatile, non-sterile dressing retention solution designed to provide secure and comfortable placement of bandages or medical devices on larger, more complex anatomical areas such as the small chest, back, perineum, and axilla (underarm area). Its elastic tubular design ensures even pressure distribution and adaptability to body contours, making it ideal for sensitive or hard-to-bandage zones.
Manufactured from a soft cotton and elastic blend, the Surgilast GL708 offers breathable support without the need for adhesives, minimizing skin irritation. It is packaged in a 25-yard roll, allowing clinicians or caregivers to cut the required length for each use without fraying or loss of structure.
