Taping works just fine and I never hear complaints from the patient. Why should I use the KanguruWeb™?
In some cases, taping can be quick and work adequately. But it can also take as long as 10 minutes, requiring lots of tape and the pannus is still not stabilized and can still interfere with site visualization. The KanguruWeb™ works reliably – in under a minute every time, regardless of the pannus size. Because there is no adhesion to the skin necessary, complications due to tape or razor burn are eliminated. The KanguruWeb™ will not release or become displaced when you sterilize the wound area. And although patients may not complain when having to undergo taping, experience shows that most obese patients are conscious and embarrassed of their overweight condition. Any thing that can be done to help the patient feel more secure, confident and dignified about the procedure will be beneficial.
