Surgilast Tubular Elastic Dressing Retainers

Surgilast solves a problem tape can't: holding a dressing securely in place without adhesive on fragile or irritated skin. This tubular elastic netting stretches to conform around fingers, limbs, joints, and torso, then springs back to keep gauze, wound pads, and bandages exactly where they belong — through movement, bathing, and dressing changes. Because nothing sticks to the patient, you avoid the skin stripping and residue that repeated taping causes, which makes it a staple for post-surgical care, burn management, and long-term wound protection.

The retainers are sized by number, and matching the size to the body part is the key to a good hold. Smaller sizes like the GL246 (Size 1P) and GL501 (Size 1) are made for fingers, toes, and wrists, while GL102 and GL103 (Sizes 2 and 3) fit small to medium hands, arms, legs, and feet. Larger and special sizes such as GL2522 (Size 22) and the latex-free GL-LF2511 handle harder-to-secure areas and longer runs. Roll lengths range from 10 to 50 yards, so you can cut only what each application needs and reduce waste in a busy dressing cart.

For chest and trunk dressings, the Surgilast Stress Vest (GL750, GL752) and precut retainers (GL-641 universal fit for knee, foot, elbow, and hand) give you ready-to-use garments and sleeves that skip measuring and cutting altogether. Latex-free and cotton options are available for patients with sensitivities, and most retainers are non-sterile for everyday, high-volume use.
