Description
A fixation bandage must meet many requirements. It should provide reliable fixation that does not shift, but it must not restrict the patient’s freedom of movement. Gazofix offers more. It is a skin-colored, self-adhesive elastic fixation bandage that is easy to apply and has good supportive properties.
Properties
The material of Gazofix consists of cotton and polyamide. The impregnated microdroplets of natural latex allow the bandage to stick to itself but not to the skin or hair. Gazofix is also elastic, enabling the easy and quick application of larger and more complex bandages.
The polyamide fibers do not lose their elasticity even with prolonged use, meaning Gazofix can be used for extended periods without folding. Due to its self-adhesive nature, the layers only need to be applied with a one-third overlap, which can save a lot of material. Gazofix can be sterilized in an autoclave or by gas. Gazofix is individually packaged in cellophane.
Applications
• Fixation of dressings and splints
• Skin-friendly non-slip underlay for compression dressings or tape
• Attachment of padding materials
• Protective dressing for plaster casts, zinc gel dressings, and tape dressings
