Medline Nonsterile Bias Cut Stockinettes - 100% Cotton Rib-Knit Medical Stockinette for Under-Cast Padding & Wound Care

Premium Medical-Grade Stockinettes for Superior Patient Comfort

The Medline Nonsterile Bias Cut Stockinettes deliver exceptional versatility, comfort, and performance across a comprehensive range of clinical and medical applications. Engineered with advanced rib-knit construction, these stockinettes provide superior stretch and recovery properties that ensure a consistently snug, adaptive fit conforming seamlessly to various body contours and anatomical shapes. This intelligent fabric design maintains its shape through repeated use while delivering the flexibility healthcare providers need for efficient application.

Premium Natural Fiber Construction

Crafted from 100% unbleached cotton fibers, these medical stockinettes prioritize patient comfort and skin health. The natural, unbleached composition is exceptionally gentle on sensitive skin, significantly reducing the potential for irritation, allergic reactions, or discomfort during extended wear periods. Unlike synthetic alternatives, the breathable cotton material allows for optimal air circulation, helping to maintain healthy skin conditions beneath casts, dressings, or compression applications.

Intelligent Single-Layer Design

The innovative single-layer fabric design distinguishes these stockinettes from traditional hollow-sleeve alternatives. Rolled in a single continuous layer rather than constructed as a tubular sleeve, this configuration enhances ease of application, reduces bulk under casts or dressings, and provides healthcare providers with superior control during placement. The flat construction eliminates bunching and wrinkles that can cause pressure points or patient discomfort, ensuring smooth, even coverage across treatment areas.

Clinical Applications & Versatility

Under-Cast Padding: Creates a protective, comfortable barrier layer between skin and casting materials, preventing irritation and enhancing patient comfort during the healing process. The breathable cotton construction helps manage moisture and reduces the risk of skin maceration.

Light Compression Support: Delivers gentle, consistent compression ideal for managing mild swelling, providing support to soft tissues, and promoting circulation in affected areas. The elastic rib-knit structure maintains therapeutic compression levels without restricting movement or causing constriction.

Wound Dressing & Protection: Serves as an effective secondary dressing layer to cover, protect, and secure primary wound dressings. The soft cotton material prevents adhesive contact with skin and hair, reducing discomfort during dressing changes while maintaining wound site protection.

General Medical Utility: Adaptable for numerous clinical scenarios including limb protection during physical therapy, padding for medical devices, securing IV sites, protecting skin under braces or splints, and countless other healthcare applications where soft, breathable fabric coverage is beneficial.
