Description
The Mölnlycke Tubifast™ 2-Way Stretch (2436) is a lightweight tubular retention bandage engineered to stretch both longitudinally and radially, allowing complete freedom of movement without constriction. The Green Line size is intended for small to medium limbs, making it suitable for pediatric use and slender extremities.
Designed to secure primary dressings without tapes, pins, or ties, Tubifast™ features an open-knit, seamless construction that promotes airflow and helps reduce the risk of maceration. Its smooth fabric enhances comfort and minimizes skin irritation, even during extended wear.
