The Lohmann & Rauscher Tg Tubular Band is an elastic tubular bandage for securing dressings on limbs and other body parts. Size 9 (8.5cm) is suitable for large limbs or the head.
tg is a soft, seamless knitted tubular bandage (a 'stockinette') used to hold dressings and padding in place and to protect the skin under casts and compression bandages. It stretches to about four times its width and narrows again when pulled lengthwise, so it fits snugly and comfortably without pins or adhesive. This is Size 9 (8.5 cm flat width), suited to larger limbs or the trunk.
tg tubular bandage is used to:
Choose the size that matches the body area. This is Size 9 (8.5 cm flat width). Apply over clean, intact skin.
Both are tube-shaped bandages that hold a dressing without sticky tape, so the difference is in the material. Choose this stretch tubular band when you want a soft cotton-rich sleeve that pulls over a limb or finger and adds light support, and choose the elastic net when you want a lighter, very stretchy mesh for awkward areas like a head, hip or shoulder.
