Product variants

We usually recommend using Tubifast dressings as they are light and breathable, keeping the product on the skin with increased absorption, and preventing the child or baby from scratching. You can buy them in metres or a box of 10 metres.

They can be washed and re-used several times (up to 10-15 times), if there is no active skin infection.

You can use it to wrap the head or arms and limbs. ( PS: Red: babies small limbs, Green: 6 months onwards, most kids fall into this condition. Blue: Adult limbs Yellow: Child’s torso)

New Tubifast 2-Way Stretch is the world’s first and only lightweight elasticated tubular bandage with radial and longitudinal stretch.

This unique mode of action allows patients complete freedom of movement, with added comfort.

Ideal for dressing retention and skin covering for any part of the body. It can also be used for patch wrapping and as an under-cast stockinette.

Tubifast 2-Way Stretch holds dressings securely in place without the need for tapes, pins or ties.

It is quick and easy to use, with less risk of fraying than traditional tubular bandages.

Because of its tubular construction, Tubifast 2-Way Stretch is particularly suitable for holding dressings in place on difficult areas such as stumps of amputee patients.

Use Within Wrapping
Wet wrapping is a therapy used in the treatment of atopic eczema, and involves the use of an emollient under retention bandaging.

An emollient (such as Epaderm Ointment which is designed for use in wet wrapping) is applied to the affected skin, which is then covered with a damp layer of Tubifast Bandage.

Working together, the emollient and the damp layer keep the skin hydrated and moist, and help reduce inflammation.

The damp Tubifast Garment also acts as a retaining layer, ensuring that the emollient stays in contact with the skin.

The damp layer also cools and soothes the skin and helps to reduce the itch.

A second, dry layer is then applied, which keeps the patient’s clothing dry and prevents further scratching from aggravating the skin and causing potential injury.

Dry wrapping is a similar process to wet wrapping. An emollient is applied to the affected skin, which is then covered with a single, dry layer of Tubifast Bandage.

Fibre content: VISCOSE, NYLON and ELASTANE.
