What is Tubifast Purple Bandage Used For?

Tubifast Purple is a versatile tubular bandage suitable for:

• Holding primary and secondary wound dressings securely in place
• Covering dressings applied to the trunk and larger body areas
• Wet wrapping and dry wrapping for eczema and sensitive skin management
• Protecting fragile, irritated or vulnerable skin
• Keeping creams, ointments and emollients in contact with the skin
• Reducing the need for adhesive dressing tapes
• Providing a protective layer beneath a cast
• Use as an under-cast stockinette

Two-Way Stretch for Improved Comfort

Tubifast features two-way stretch technology, allowing the tubular bandage to stretch in both radial and longitudinal directions. This helps the material adapt to body contours while providing freedom of movement and improved wearer comfort.

The bandage retains dressings without being intended to provide compression. Its flexible tubular design makes application straightforward and helps minimise slipping, bunching and frequent dressing adjustment.

Suitable for Dressing Retention and Skin Covering

The soft and breathable material helps maintain wearer comfort during extended use. Tubifast may be cut to the required length and pulled gently over the treatment area to retain a dressing or provide protective skin coverage.

Because no pins or adhesive tapes are normally required, Tubifast can be especially useful where the surrounding skin is sensitive, fragile or unsuitable for repeated adhesive application.

Wet and Dry Wrapping

Tubifast tubular bandage is commonly used as part of wet or dry wrapping routines for eczema, dermatitis and other chronic skin conditions when recommended by a healthcare professional.

For wet wrapping, an appropriate cream or emollient is applied as directed, followed by a damp layer of Tubifast and then a second dry layer. Dry wrapping generally uses a dry layer over the treated skin. Always follow the instructions supplied by your healthcare professional.
