The Hartmann V18610000 Novaplus Esmark Bandage is a sterile, latex free elastic bandage designed for compression and exsanguination during surgical procedures.

This high quality single use bandage supports surgeons and operating room staff in achieving reliable preoperative limb preparation while maintaining patient safety.
Key Benefits
The latex free construction eliminates risks associated with latex sensitivities, making it safe for a wide range of patients. Its strong elastic material delivers uniform compression, helping to reduce blood flow and prepare the surgical site effectively. The sterile packaging supports infection control protocols, while the generous length provides coverage for different patient anatomies and surgical needs. The bandage is supplied for use only by authorized Novaplus customers, ensuring reliable sourcing and consistent quality.
Compatibility and Applications
This bandage is primarily used in operating rooms and surgical centers for procedures requiring controlled exsanguination and tourniquet application. It is compatible with standard surgical protocols and tourniquet systems, making it a versatile tool for orthopedic, vascular, and general surgical procedures. Its latex free design ensures compatibility with patients who may have sensitivities or allergies.
Usage Guidelines
Confirm the integrity of the sterile packaging before use. Apply the bandage by wrapping it around the limb in a distal to proximal direction with steady tension to exsanguinate blood from the extremity. Once adequate compression is achieved, secure with a tourniquet according to surgical protocol. The bandage is intended for single use only and must be discarded after the procedure according to facility waste management policies. Do not reuse, reprocess, or resterilize.

Comparison with Competitor Products
Unlike standard Esmark bandages that may contain latex, this product provides a safer alternative for facilities committed to minimizing allergen exposure.
