Frequently Asked Questions
What is the MTY5-Each Medi-tech Spandage Net used for?
▾
It is used to hold gauze, silicone or other dressings in place on small anatomical sites such as the scalp, shoulder blade or upper thigh. The elastic net creates gentle pressure, keeps the dressing secure, and allows air flow to promote healing.
Does the net require sterilization before use?
▾
It is supplied non-sterile, so it should be placed over a sterile dressing that has already been prepared. The net itself does not need to be sterilized, but standard infection-control practices recommend using it only on clean, intact skin properly.
How do you apply the net to a wound?
▾
First, apply a sterile dressing to the wound. Then stretch the net to its full one-yard length, position it over the dressing, and gently pull the edges to create even tension. Trim excess material if needed, and secure the ends with tape or a light bandage.
Is the net suitable for patients with latex allergy?
▾
Yes, the net is latex-free, making it safe for individuals who have documented latex sensitivities. It provides the same elastic support without the risk of allergic reactions, though users should still monitor for any possible skin irritation unrelated to latex.
Can the net be trimmed to fit irregular shapes?
▾
The net can be cut with scissors to match the contour of an irregular wound area. Trimming does not affect its elasticity, but care should be taken to keep the edges smooth to avoid snagging the dressing or skin properly.
