BSN Artiflex Cast Padding 10 cm x 3 m is a non-woven padding bandage designed to provide a protective and cushioning layer beneath plaster and synthetic casts. It can also be used beneath compression bandages where padding and more even pressure distribution are required. BSN product documentation describes Artiflex as a multipurpose padding bandage for phlebological and lymphedema applications as well as under-cast padding.
Made from synthetic fibres, Artiflex is non-absorbent and air-permeable, helping it retain its padding characteristics in humid conditions while allowing air circulation around the treated area. The material is designed to apply easily without creasing and to conform to body contours during appropriate bandaging or cast application.
The 10 cm × 3 m format is a practical width for cast padding and compression-bandaging applications. This individual roll is useful for hospitals, orthopaedic clinics, wound-care and compression-therapy settings where a lightweight synthetic under-padding material is required.
