SOFT ROLL 10CM 10CM

About

The Soft Roll 10cm is a versatile, non-woven synthetic padding material widely utilized in orthopedic and wound management. Its primary function is to provide a protective and cushioning layer between the skin and rigid external supports such as plaster casts, synthetic casts, or compression bandages. This soft padding is crucial for preventing direct pressure on the skin, thereby minimizing the risk of pressure sores, skin breakdown, and nerve impingement, which can occur with prolonged immobilization. The material's inherent conformability allows it to be smoothly applied around various anatomical contours, ensuring even pressure distribution and patient comfort.

Designed for breathability and moisture management, the soft roll helps maintain skin integrity by allowing air circulation and wicking away perspiration. The 10cm width is ideal for medium-sized limbs and areas requiring precise padding. It is easy to tear or cut, facilitating quick and efficient application in clinical settings. As a single-use product, it contributes to infection control by preventing cross-contamination. The Soft Roll 10cm is an indispensable component in the application of casts and bandages, significantly enhancing patient comfort and the efficacy of orthopedic treatments.
