Description
A fixation bandage must meet many requirements. It must 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, easy to apply and with good supportive properties.
Properties
The material of Gazofix consists of cotton and polyamide. Due to impregnated micro-droplets of natural latex, the bandage adheres to itself but not to the skin or hair. Gazofix is also elastic, which allows larger and more complicated dressings to be applied easily and quickly.
The polyamide fibers do not lose their elasticity even after prolonged use, allowing Gazofix to be used for a long time while remaining fixed and without folding. Due to its self-adhesive nature, the layers only need to overlap by one third, which can save a lot of material. Gazofix can be sterilized in an autoclave or using 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 material
• As a support bandage for sprains and strains
• Protective dressing for plaster casts, zinc gel dressings, and
tape dressings.
