Frequently Asked Questions

What is Tubifast 2-Way Stretch used for?

Tubifast is primarily used for wet wrapping therapy in eczema management, retaining wound dressings, holding compression garment liners in place, and protecting skin during bandaging. Its 2-way stretch allows natural movement, improving patient comfort and compliance.

What is wet wrapping for eczema?

Wet wrapping is a technique used for severe eczema where a layer of Tubifast is applied damp over emollient-coated skin, then a dry layer is applied over the top. This occlusion technique boosts moisture absorption and is widely used in paediatric and adult dermatology.

What size Tubifast should I use?

Red (3.5cm) for small limbs, fingers. Green (5cm) for average arms, legs of children. Blue (7.5cm) for adult arms, average thighs. Yellow (10.5cm) for adult thighs, torso. Refer to the Tubifast sizing chart for precise measurement guidance.

Can Tubifast be washed and reused?

Yes. Tubifast can be washed at 60°C and reused multiple times, making it cost-effective for long-term eczema management programmes.

Is Tubifast 2-Way Stretch different from regular Tubifast?

Yes. Standard Tubifast stretches in one direction only (radially). Tubifast 2-Way Stretch also stretches longitudinally, providing greater flexibility and comfort, especially for active patients and children.
