Elasto-Gel™ is a unique, patented, bacteriostatic, highly absorbent wound dressing that provides fast and comfortable dressing changes (due to its mildly adhesive properties). Elasto-Gel™ will not dry out or stick to the wound.
Bacteriostatic dressing helps reduce the chance for infection.
Superior absorbency is more than three times that of commonly used wound dressings.
Glycerin content helps prevent the dressing from damaging newly granulated tissue.
The Sta-Fix tape is a nonwoven, polyester base tape with an open structure and is coated with adhesive.
Highly porous, breathable tape.
The use of tape allows Elasto-Gel™ Plus dressing to be adhered to difficult and complex contours.
Provides greater conformability, cushioning and padding.
