Tubifast Tubular Bandages & Garments

If you or someone you care for is managing eczema, dermatitis, or a wound that needs a primary dressing held gently in place, Mölnlycke Tubifast is likely why you're here. This 2-way stretch tubular bandage secures dressings without tape, adapts to the shape of a moving limb, and is soft enough to wear against irritated skin — which is exactly what makes it a mainstay for wet or dry wrapping in atopic eczema care.

The line uses a color-coded system so you can match the tubing to the body part. The red line (992/2434) suits small limbs like a child's arm, the blue line (2438) fits larger limbs, yellow (2440) handles bigger arms and legs, and purple (2444) is sized for adult trunks. Match the code to the limb circumference rather than guessing at a "size" — that's how you get retention that stays put without pinching.

For children, the ready-made garments take the measuring out of the equation. The Tubifast full-sleeve vest (992008), leggings (992012), and socks (992017) are shaped pieces made from the same soft viscose/polyamide/elastane blend, so caregivers can dress a child for overnight wet-wrap therapy in minutes instead of cutting and fitting lengths of tubing.

A common question: how much do you use? Because Tubifast comes in long rolls (typically 10–11 yards), you cut what each application needs and can layer a dry piece over an emollient-soaked inner layer for wet wrapping. It's non-sterile and reusable through washing, which keeps ongoing eczema management affordable.
