Silipos Gel Tubing is a tube-shaped fabric dressing made to protect toes and fingers or arms and legs from friction and pressure. This bandage is embedded with a medical-grade mineral oil gel that releases slowly to moisturize and quicken the healing of affected areas. Silipos Gel Tubing can help reduce scar tissue on wounded digits or limbs. In addition to its robust healing power, Silipos is thinner than alternative foam tubing. This means that it is more comfortable for general wear and for wear inside shoes. It is also easily washable and therefore reusable, making Silipos Gel Tubing both an economical and environmentally sustainable choice.
These healing tubes come in a variety of types and sizes. Both Silipos mesh and ribbed knit gel tubes are available. The mesh version comes in a narrow 3/4-inch diameter, 6-inch long option and a wide 3-inch diameter, 10-inch long option. The 3-inch diameter mesh option (#10845) can be used for arms and legs, while the 3/4 inch diameter mesh option (#10855) can be used on toes and fingers. The alternative ribbed knit version comes in narrow 3/4-inch wide, 6-inch long (#10865) and wide 1-inch diameter, 6-inch long (#10875) varieties, both of which are made for use on fingers and toes. All varieties of this Silipos product can be cut to a proper length for a perfect fit. The tubing will not unravel when cut. Silipos mesh and ribbed gel tubing is a great choice for users with sensitive skin as it is hypoallergenic and latex-free, guaranteed.
