CoolFAST™ – Tubular Retention Bandage

• CoolFAST has mild elastic properties provided by fine elastic threads incorporated into the fabric
• Excellent stretch and contraction properties ensure that dressings are held securely in place
• CoolFAST maintains its elasticity over a ling period due to its knit structure
• CoolFAST is made from Viscose and Polyester, with latex free elastic threads inlaid into the bandage

CoolGRIP™ – Tubular Elastic Support Bandage

• Innovative mesh structure enhances air circulation to the skin, ensuring a more comfortable bandage, especially in warmer climates
• CoolGRIP is made from cotton and polyester, with latex free elastic threads inlaid into the bandage, providing pressure to the limb
• The fine,elastic threads are spaced close together, distributing pressure more evenly, unlike conventional bandages that incorporate thick elastic threads spaced further apart
• Provides 14-18 mmHg sub-bandage pressure under a double layer

Alginate – Absorbent Dressings

• Algisite M is a calcium-alginate dressing which forms a soft, integral gel when it comes into contact with wound exudate
• Algisite M is very soft and conformable, allowing it to be moulded, folded or cut to meet a wide range of wound shapes and sizes
• In vitro studies have shown that Algisite M can absorb 10 times its own weight in exudate. This allows the dressing to remain in the wound for up to 7 days
