Description
Molnlycke's Tubifast Socks are innovative medical garments designed to provide effective dressing retention for children with sensitive skin conditions such as atopic dermatitis and epidermolysis bullosa. These ready-made socks offer a practical solution for both wet and dry wrapping therapies, serving as a safer and more convenient alternative to traditional bandaging methods.
Key Features
- Two-Way Stretch Technology: This feature ensures light elasticity, allowing complete freedom of movement for active children.
- Flat Seams: Crafted to minimize irritation, making them ideal for sensitive skin.
- Self-Retaining Design: Eliminates the need for tapes, pins, or ties, making application and removal straightforward.
- Light, Open-Knitted Construction: Promotes air circulation while being non-sensitising and non-irritating, suitable for delicate skin and wound care.
Versatile and Comfortable
Tubifast Socks are designed to be worn comfortably under regular clothing or nightwear, both during the day and at night. Their discreet nature makes them an excellent choice for continuous use without interfering with daily activities.
Reusability and Care
These socks are washable and reusable, provided they are not soiled with bodily fluids. Care instructions recommend washing at temperatures up to 60°C, using a delicates bag if machine washing, and opting for air drying or low-heat tumble drying. Avoidance of bleach and dry cleaning is advised, and soaking in hot water is suggested if heavy emollients are used.
Sizing and Packaging
Available in a versatile one-size-fits-all design for children aged 2 to 14 years, Tubifast Socks come in various packaging options, including pairs and packs of 6 or 42 pieces. This flexibility caters to different needs and ensures that the right amount is always at hand.
Environmental Considerations
Constructed from non-toxic materials, these socks are packaged using FSC certified paper, aligning with sustainable practices. Despite some indications of discontinuation, Tubifast Socks remain a valuable resource for managing pediatric skin conditions effectively.
