Hartmann V18310000 - BANDAGE ESMARK NOVAPLUS LF SYN 3X9 ST, 20/CS
The Hartmann V18310000 Esmark Bandage Novaplus LF Synthetic is a sterile, single use compression bandage designed to exsanguinate the limb and maintain a bloodless field during surgical procedures. Measuring 3 inches by 9 feet, it is made from durable synthetic material that provides consistent elasticity and strength. This bandage is commonly used in operating rooms and surgical suites to support patient safety and procedural efficiency.
Key Benefits
The latex free synthetic construction makes the bandage suitable for patients with latex sensitivity, reducing the risk of allergic reactions. Its high tensile strength and controlled stretch provide uniform compression, helping to minimize blood flow effectively and reliably. The sterile, single use packaging ensures maximum safety by reducing the risk of cross contamination between patients.
Compatibility and Applications
The Esmark bandage is compatible with a wide range of surgical procedures requiring limb exsanguination. It is typically used in orthopedic, vascular, and trauma surgeries where a clear, bloodless surgical field is critical. The 3 inch width offers effective coverage for both upper and lower extremities, while the 9 foot length provides ample wrapping for adult patients.
Usage Guidelines
Inspect packaging for integrity before use. Apply the bandage by wrapping it tightly around the limb, starting distally and working proximally to drive blood out of the area. Secure with a tourniquet or surgical device as indicated by procedure protocol. Remove and dispose of the bandage after use; it is intended for single use only and should not be resterilized or reused.

Comparison with Competitor Products
Compared with traditional latex Esmark bandages, the Hartmann Novaplus LF Synthetic version eliminates the risk of latex sensitivity while maintaining strong compression capabilities. Its reliable elasticity offers consistent performance, whereas some competitor products may lose tension with extended use. The sterile packaging provides added confidence for surgical teams, ensuring readiness and safety.
Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios
Primary users include surgeons, anesthesiologists, and perioperative nurses working in hospital operating rooms and surgical centers. This product is especially relevant in orthopedic and trauma cases where controlled blood flow management is required. It is also suitable for vascular surgery and other specialty areas that demand a bloodless field for precision.
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
Store in a clean, dry environment until use. Apply with consistent pressure and avoid excessive stretching that could compromise skin integrity. Do not attempt to clean or reuse the bandage, as this compromises sterility and effectiveness. Dispose of the used bandage according to facility infection control and biomedical waste protocols.
Regulatory and Safety Information
