Excellent stanching effect by compression after removing needles

After removal of needle for blood draw, intravenous line using large needle (14-24 gauge), good stanching effect possible by 6mm thick pad excellent in blood absorbency and compression through urethane non-woven tape that has adequate elasticity.

Specifications:

Key features:

 

  • Features of the pad area

    • 6 mm thick. A sufficient hemostatic effect is achieved by the pressure applied through the secure fastening of the adhesive tapes.
      Oval-shaped, 27 mm long. The tape covers the gap between the access site of the skin and the vessels, to stop the bleeding of the vessels with angiopressure. The oval-shape helps soothe skin irritation.

    • The first layer, which has direct contact with the skin, is made from an extremely thin non-woven cellulose fabric which instantly absorbs the blood. The tape area consists of a non-woven polyester fabric with water repellent properties, preventing blood discharges to the back of the tape.

  • Features of the package
    Each tape is individually sterilized before packaging.
    Easy opening, simple removal.
    Sanitary procedures: no need to touch the pad (which eventually has direct contact with the punctured skin) from the opening of the package to the application of the tape.

  • Features of the adhesive area
    Made from a non-woven urethane fabric which is flexible and extends well in all directions. Its extension recovery rate exceeds 90%, making it perfect for pressure immobilization.
    High adhesive power, secure retention and sticking. (Fig 2)
    By stretching the 39 mm × 80 mm sized tape to a moderate length, the pad can be securely bound from four directions to avoid becoming detached. (Fig 3)

  • Features of the package

    • Each tape is individually sterilized before packaging.
      Easy opening, simple removal.
      All procedures are hygienic; there is no need to touch the pad (which eventually has direct contact with the punctured skin) from the opening of the package to the application of the tape. (Fig 4)

    • Backing: urethane non-woven fabric
