Medline Stretch Tubular Elastic Net Size 6 17″ x 25 yd Wound Care

Description

Product Overview

The Medline Stretch Tubular Elastic Dressing Retention Net is engineered to deliver a dependable, breathable barrier that maintains the integrity of wound dressings throughout the course of treatment. Constructed from a high‑quality elastic polymer, the net stretches gently around the wound site, conforming to the body’s contours while providing a secure, non‑slipping hold. Its tubular design eliminates the need for multiple cuts or adjustments, allowing clinicians to apply the net quickly and efficiently. The product measures 17 inches in width and extends 25 yards in length, offering sufficient material to cover extensive wound areas or to be trimmed for smaller applications. With a lightweight profile of just under 5 ounces, the net is easy to handle, store, and transport, making it an ideal choice for both inpatient and outpatient environments.

Usage

Designed for a broad range of clinical settings, the Medline Stretch Tubular Net excels in hospitals, surgical suites, emergency departments, long‑term care facilities, and home health scenarios. Its elasticity accommodates patient movement, reducing the likelihood of dressing displacement during ambulation, repositioning, or physical therapy. The net is particularly effective for securing gauze, foam, or hydrocolloid dressings on areas such as the torso, limbs, and postoperative incisions. Because the material is breathable, it helps to manage moisture levels, promoting a healthier wound environment and minimizing maceration. The net’s generous length allows clinicians to create multiple dressings from a single package, optimizing inventory management and reducing waste. Additionally, the product is compatible with standard adhesive strips and medical tape, providing flexibility in securing techniques.
