Gelostretch, ready-to-use zinc gel bandage

Gelostretch, ready-to-use zinc gel bandage

Longitudinally and transversely stretchable zinc gel bandage—adapts as swelling subsides and maintains compression pressure.

Description

Gelostretch is a zinc gel bandage that can stretch in both directions. This allows it to be continuously molded to fit even in critical areas and across difficult anatomical transitions—such as the ankle or heel, where a bandage that stretches only lengthwise would create wrinkles.

The key advantage becomes apparent after application: As long as the bandage has not yet hardened, it yields as the leg swells down while continuing to apply compression. The cellulose-based zinc gel is applied to a backing made of 76% viscose and 24% cotton.

Key Features

• Cellulose-based zinc gel
• Carrier made of 76% viscose and 24% cotton
• Stretches both lengthwise and crosswise
• Continuous conforming even at challenging anatomical transitions
• Relaxes as swelling subsides while maintaining compression pressure
• Ready to use
• Does not contain natural rubber latex
• Widths: 8 cm and 10 cm; available in stretched lengths of 5 m, 7 m, and 10 m; sold as a single bandage or in a pack of 10 bandages

Indications

• Compression bandages for phlebological indications
• Chronic venous insufficiency, including venous leg ulcers and phleboedema
• Thrombophlebitis and phlebothrombosis
• Support and pressure-relieving bandages for disorders of the ligamentous and supporting structures
• Sprains and dislocations

Summary

A zinc gel bandage remains effective for days—and during that time, the leg changes. The fact that Gelostretch yields as swelling subsides while still applying pressure is what distinguishes effective compression from a bandage that becomes loose after two days.
