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.
Features
The material of Gazofix consists of cotton and polyamide. Thanks to impregnated microdroplets of natural latex, the bandage adheres to itself but not to the skin or hair. Gazofix is also elastic, allowing larger and more complex dressings to be applied easily and quickly. The polyamide fibers do not lose their elasticity even with prolonged use, enabling Gazofix to be used for extended fixation without wrinkling. Due to its self-adhesive nature, the layers only need to be applied with one-third overlap, 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 anti-slip underlayer for compression bandages or tape
- Attachment of padding materials
- Protective dressing for plaster casts, zinc gel dressings, and tape dressings
- As a supportive bandage for sprains and strains
