PowerFlex AFD in Detail
The manufacturer's sports line positions the dressing for game-time kits, where wounds need cover and compression in one step. Absorbing up to ten times its weight, the foam pad handles bleeding and exudate without a separate gauze stack. Black and white rolls match the two colorways trainers already stock for the rest of the taping system. Each case holds 16 rolls of the 2 inch by 2.5 yard size for team and clinic stocking. Each configuration listed here is an original manufacturer item, supplied in factory case packaging.
