 The HALO Advantage

 HALO Gel

• Highly effective medical grade hydrogel that allows HALO XL to stick in wet, bloody, sandy or harsh environments.
• Features scrim, a non-woven material that is added to the HALO hydrogel to keep the gel from migrating in high heat environments.
• Temperature range of -30° - 140° F.

 Outer Tape Edge

• Tape edge is more forgiving when handling with gloved or bare hands.
• Studies show that the outer tape edge has a wider operating temperature range and performs extremely well in freezing and elevated temperatures

Size and Shape

• Covers a greater surface area, and aids in coverage of larger, unpredictable wound patterns.
• Oval shape allows for greater adherence around the contours of the body.
• Large pull tab allows for effective placement and wound burping

 Packaging
