Description
Features
Elastomull haft is a highly elastic and skin-friendly white fixation bandage made of 40% cotton, 30% viscose, and 30% polyamide. Because the fixation bandage is impregnated with micro-drops of natural rubber latex, it adheres to itself but not to the skin or hair. The adhesive properties are enhanced by the special wavy weave structure. Thanks to the unique weaving technique and the use of polyamide, Elastomull haft is particularly elastic. This makes it possible to apply even complicated dressings quickly and easily. Since Elastomull haft sticks to itself and does not shift, a limited (1/3) overlap per turn is sufficient, without the need for reverse techniques, saving both materials and time. Dressings on moving body parts, such as joints, stay securely in place without wrinkling. Furthermore, under normal use, thanks to its elastic properties, no venous congestion occurs, and mobility is hardly restricted. Even after prolonged use, elasticity is maintained. To prevent venous congestion, Elastomull haft is preferably applied without tension. Therefore, it is easier to roll Elastomull haft off per turn before securing the bandage. Due to the high cotton and viscose content and the loose weave of the fabric, Elastomull haft is very soft, comfortable, and skin-friendly. The open weave structure also allows the skin to breathe well. Elastomull haft can be sterilized in an autoclave or using gas.
Applications
- Suitable for the fixation of dressings and splints, particularly on bent and moving body parts, such as arms, legs, fingers, toes, head/neck, and trunk
- As a non-slip layer under compression bandages
- As a light compression and support bandage, for example, after the removal of a plaster cast
