Use Within Wrapping

Wet wrapping is a therapy used in the treatment of atopic eczema, involving the use of an emollient under retention bandaging. This can be done using the emollient Epaderm together with Tubifast Garments or Tubifast bandages.

An emollient is applied to the affected skin, which is then covered with a damp layer of Tubifast Garment or bandage. Working together, the emollient and the damp layer keep the skin hydrated and moist, and help reduce inflammation. The damp Tubifast Garment or bandage also acts as a retaining layer, ensuring that the emollient stays in contact with the skin. The damp layer also cools and soothes the skin and helps to reduce the itch.

A second, dry layer is then applied, which keeps the patient’s clothing dry and prevents further scratching from aggravating the skin and causing potential injury.

Dry Wrapping

Dry wrapping is a similar process to wet wrapping. An emollient is applied to the affected skin, which is then covered with a single, dry layer of Tubifast Garment or bandage.
