Vliwazell Compresses

For provisional immobilization of the injured extremity and for compressing the padding under rigid or support bandages.

Padding under rigid or support bandages has to be pre-compressed, so that there is not too much play between bandage and the extremity; otherwise, the immobilization would be compromised. This is the purpose that BSN Medical’s crepe paper bandage serves, as part of the company’s support bandage product line.

This bandage consists 100% of cellulose.

It exhibits good layer cohesion and does a good job compressing the padding. It serves to pre-immobilize extremities and prevents water with dissolved plaster from soaking the padding. The bandage is easy to use, can be torn and can be used on highly contoured body parts. It also protoects against the cast saw during cast removal.

• for rigid and support bandages
• for pre-immobilization of extremities
• at least 200% stretchable
• for pre-compressing padding material under rigid and support bandaging
• latex-free
• prevents intrusion of the water-plaster mix into the padding material

Lastotel is a highly elastic fixation bandage with warp threads of crimped polyamide and weft threads of skin-friendly hydrophilic fibers. Lastotel is quickly and easily applied; complicated bandaging techniques are superfluous.

• with crimped and synthetic warp threads
• approx. 100 % stretchable

Lastotel is approx. 140 % stretchable and can also be used on conical body-parts or joints without enveloping turns.

Bandages with Lastotel don’t constrict and don’t hinder blood-circulation, nor desired mobility.

The bandage has a crepe-like surface structure, so that the individual bandaging turns adhere to each other without sliding. The bandages sit dependably and without sliding.

Lastotel is soft and air-permeable, and can be sterilized

(steam autoclave 134 °C).

Varying versions of Lastotel are available in bulk-packages of 100 bandages in a compact package, which doesn’t just offer economical, but also ecological benefits: the compact packaging saves on packing material, helps to avoid waste and reduces transport- and storage volume.

Application as fixation bandage of all types, especially for joints, as well as on conical and round body-parts; very well suited for wrapping of splints, due to its durable fabric.
