Hartmann V18610000 - BANDAGE, ESMARK, NOVA PLUS, LF, 6"X9', EACH
The Hartmann V18610000 Esmark Bandage Nova Plus LF is a high quality, latex free elastic bandage designed for use in surgical and clinical environments. Measuring 6 inches wide by 9 feet long, it is ideal for exsanguination of limbs before tourniquet application, as well as for compression and support in various medical procedures. Its strong yet flexible material ensures consistent pressure distribution and reliability during use.
Key Benefits
The latex free construction makes it safe for patients with latex sensitivities, while the durable elastic material delivers effective compression and support. The bandage is long enough to accommodate a wide range of limb sizes and provides secure, even pressure without excessive bulk. Its sterile, single use design enhances patient safety by minimizing the risk of cross contamination.
Compatibility and Applications
This Esmark bandage is commonly used in operating rooms, emergency departments, and outpatient surgical settings. It is compatible with standard tourniquet application techniques and is widely applied for limb exsanguination prior to orthopedic, vascular, or trauma surgery. It may also be used in compression therapy for wound management or swelling reduction.
Usage Guidelines
Ensure the limb is properly prepared before application. Wrap the bandage firmly from the distal end of the limb toward the proximal end to expel blood and create a bloodless field for surgery. Use controlled, even tension throughout the application to avoid skin injury. Once the tourniquet is in place, carefully remove the bandage. Dispose of the bandage after a single use according to institutional protocols.
Certifications, Safety Standards, and Regulatory Approvals
The Hartmann Esmark Bandage Nova Plus LF is manufactured to meet international medical device safety and quality standards. It is latex free and supplied sterile, with packaging that meets regulatory guidelines for sterile barrier systems. Regulatory compliance may include CE marking or FDA listing, ensuring suitability for use in healthcare facilities worldwide.
Comparison with Competitor Products
Compared with traditional latex based Esmark bandages, the Nova Plus LF version offers improved safety for patients and staff with latex sensitivities. Its elastic strength ensures consistent pressure without excessive stretching, reducing the risk of uneven application. The combination of durability, patient safety, and ease of use makes it a preferred choice over standard non latex or lower quality alternatives.
Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios
Primary users include surgeons, anesthesiologists, operating room nurses, and emergency care clinicians. Typical application scenarios include orthopedic and vascular surgery requiring limb exsanguination, trauma cases requiring rapid blood control, and wound care scenarios requiring controlled compression.
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
Store the bandage in a clean, dry location away from direct sunlight and moisture. Always verify the integrity of the sterile packaging before use. Apply with consistent tension and avoid over stretching to maintain patient safety. Do not attempt to clean or reuse the product. Dispose of appropriately after use.
