Tubifast® tubular bandage with two-way stretch roll, blue, 7.5 cm x 1 m, 1 M

Tubifast® tubular bandages are the ideal choice for the quick and easy treatment of injuries. The soft, stretchy material provides optimal support and is comfortable to wear.

Applications of Tubifast

• Tubifast with 2-Way Stretch Technology can be used to secure dressings and as a skin cover on all parts of the body. It can also be used as a tubular bandage and as an under-stockinette.
