Tricoplast, longitudinal and transverse elastic adhesive bandage, 60% stretch, pack of 12 bandages

Tricoplast, longitudinally and transversely elastic adhesive bandages, pack of 12 bandages

Self-adhesive bandage with longitudinal and transverse elasticity—sterilizable, non-slip, available in a pack of 12 bandages.

Description

Tricoplast is a self-adhesive bandage that stretches in both directions: approximately 60% longitudinally and 30% transversely. This dual elasticity is why it can be molded to fit even heavily contoured body parts and adheres securely without slipping—shoulders, knees, and heels are difficult to dress with bandages that are only longitudinally elastic.

The bandage is sterilizable and gentle on the skin. This version comes in a pack of 12 bandages, in two widths.

Summary

For bandages applied over joints, transverse elasticity is what distinguishes a bandage that conforms to the body from one that is wrinkled. The 12-pack is the most cost-effective option for facilities with ongoing needs.
