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 has all the properties required for 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 molded, even around the most contoured and irregular parts of the body. Acrylastic has woven chain threads that provide durable, strong support and compression. Even after prolonged use, elasticity is maintained. Acrylastic bandages can be applied quickly and easily, providing reliable fixation that does not shift. The adhesive layer ensures a particularly skin-friendly adhesive strength that is highly durable. Even sensitive skin can tolerate Acrylastic without any issues. Additionally, Acrylastic can be removed painlessly from very hairy skin. The surface of Acrylastic is water-repellent. Since 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. Furthermore, the bandage is easy to roll out and has a shelf life of 3 years.
