- Extended Supply: Each unit comes in a generous 25-yard roll, providing a long-lasting supply for medical settings.
How does the netting secure post-operative pads?
The HK Surgical Elastic Netting is a specialized, latex-free product designed for efficient post-operative wound management.
Its primary function is to:
- Secure Absorbent Pads: It firmly anchors HK Super Absorbent Pads onto the patient’s body before the final compression garment is applied.
