What Is Tubular Gauze?

Tubular gauze is a type of medical dressing or bandage made from a stretchable and cylindrical mesh fabric. It is designed to be slipped over various body parts, such as fingers, toes, limbs, or other areas that may require protection, support, or dressing. Tubular gauze is also known as “stockinette” because its appearance is similar to a stocking or sock.

Surgitube Tubular Gauze – Applications

Surgitube Tubular gauze serves several purposes in healthcare and medical settings:

1. Protection: It can be used to protect the skin from friction, abrasion, or pressure. For example, it may be placed over a cast to prevent irritation of the skin underneath.

2. Support: Tubular gauze can provide light compression and support to injured or weak body parts, such as sprained wrists or ankles.

3. Dressing Retention: It is often used to hold wound dressings in place. The tubular shape makes it easy to slide over a limb or body part, securing the dressing without the need for adhesive tape.

4. Padding: Tubular gauze can be used as padding underneath splints, braces, or other medical devices to enhance patient comfort and reduce pressure points.

5. Infection Control: In some cases, it can be used to cover intravenous (IV) lines, catheters, or other medical equipment to help prevent contamination.

Surgitube comes in various sizes and can be made from different materials, such as cotton or synthetic fibers, to suit different medical applications. Healthcare professionals select the appropriate size and type of tubular gauze based on the specific needs of the patient and the medical situation.
