The size 6 thigh tubular elastic netting stretches to fit bodily contours as a secondary dressing. It's well-suited to wrapping around shoulders and thighs to secure primary dressings, IV tubes and hot/cold packs. Elasticity allows for easier removal of pads and re-dressing without removing the 18.5-inch x 25-yard small-head tubular bandage. Gentle pressure holds materials in place without adhesives. The open-weave, small-stitch material allows airflow and reduces the spread of infection. .
