Medline Stretch Tubular Elastic Dressing Retention Net is a dressing securement product.
INTENDED USES: These rayon/polyester knitted elastic net tubes holds dressings firmly in place and help reduce wound dressing time. Knitted elastic net molds itself to body contours but does not constrict. It can be used for patients with fragile, geriatric, pediatric and at-risk skin, or those allergic/sensitive to tape
CLAIMED BENEFITS: The knit is resistant to body oils and perspiration. The soft, open weave allows for examination of wound area. Net tubes are easy to cut to customize the length. Accommodate virtually any part of the body from the finger to torso.
Surgical Dressing Holders can be reusable or disposable. In this category are the Montgomery straps, which are paired adhesive straps applied to either side of a wound (usually abdominal), the central sections of which are folded back on themselves with several perforations at the leading edges. This provides a method of securing a bandage and subsequently changing it without having to replace the tape each time.
