Tricoplast, longitudinally and transversely elastic adhesive bandage, 2.5 m x 6 cm

Self-adhesive bandage with longitudinal and transverse elasticity, single bandage 6 cm — sterilizable and radiolucent.

Description

Tricoplast stretches in both directions: approximately 60% longitudinally and 30% transversely. This dual elasticity is why the bandage can be molded to fit even highly contoured body parts and adheres securely without slipping—bandages with purely longitudinal elasticity regularly fail on the shoulder, knee, and heel.

The bandage consists of cotton fabric with an acrylate adhesive, is sterilizable, water-repellent, radiolucent, and easy to unroll. This version is the 6 cm single bandage in a folding box.
