Description
Compression and support bandages are often applied for an extended period, which can result in skin reactions. Thanks to the special skin-friendly adhesive layer, Acrylastic possesses all the properties required of such bandages.
Properties & functions
Acrylastic is a skin-colored, longitudinally stretchable bandage made of 100% cotton. The maximum stretch of the bandage is 60% (short stretch). The elastic material can be closely modeled, even around the most contoured and irregular body parts. Acrylastic features woven thread fibers that provide durable, strong support and compression. Even after prolonged use, its elasticity is maintained. Acrylastic bandages can be easily and quickly applied and offer reliable fixation that does not shift. The adhesive layer guarantees a particularly skin-friendly adhesive strength that is very durable. Acrylastic can also be tolerated without issues by sensitive skin. Additionally, it can be painlessly removed from very hairy skin. The surface of Acrylastic is water-repellent. Because the bandage does not contain radiation-absorbing components, Acrylastic does not need to be removed during radiological examinations or radiation therapies. If desired, Acrylastic can be sterilized in an autoclave. Moreover, the bandage is easy to unroll and has a shelf life of 3 years.
