Effective Treatment of Horse Wounds
Applications
Step 1.
Cut a piece of Animal Vet which will cover the whole of the wound.
 Step 2.
Cut a piece of Animal Polster which when applied over the Animal Vet will overlap at least 4-5cm (1.5 inches). A larger wound will require a greater overlap.
 Step 3.
Holding the Animal Vet over the wound, apply the piece of Animal Polster over the top, making sure it overlaps and it is pressed down firmly.
Open Wound Dressing
Step 1.
Cut a large piece of Animal Polster which will allow you to cut out an area where the wound will be. Remove the backing and carefully apply making sure the Animal Polster does not touch the wound.
 Step 2.
Cut a piece of Animal Vet to cover the wound and protect it from the second layer of Animal Polster.
 Step 3.
Using tape or a second layer of Animal Polster secure the dressing to the frame.
By lifting the top two layers you are able to check and treat the wound avoiding unnecessary trauma to the delicate tissues surrounding the wound.
This is also a more cost effective and efficient method of managing large wounds.
 Lower Leg Dressing
If you find your bandages slip down, apply a strip of Animal Polster to the area you are going to bandage from and then bandage over the top of it, this should create sufficient resistance to prevent bandage slippage.
  Hock Dressing
Step 1.
Apply a suitable sized piece of Animal Vet over the Wound.
Step 2.
Cut a large piece of Animal Polster and apply over the dressing. Depending on the size of the hock you may need to overlap two pieces of Animal Vet.
 Another alternative is;
Apply Animal Vet to the whole leg from the hock down.
Take the whole roll of Animal Vet in one hand. Secure the bandage together at the top of the hock and continue to roll down overlapping it as you go. Gently press the bandage to ensure it has adhered correctly.
  Removal
To remove Animal Vet simply tear from the top of the bandage down, as shown below;
 Animal Elast
If the horse is going to be turned out in the Paddock, you may want to apply Animal Elast over the top, this provides additional durability to the dressing.
 Further Applications
Following the instructions for application above, you can dress almost any area of the horse's anatomy.
Stifle Injury
 Cannon Bone/Tendon Injuries
Apply Animal Vet, start under the knee and roll down overlapping as you go.
Press gently to ensure that it has cohered.
 Head Injuries
  No Matter where the wound, it can be treated!
   Neck Injuries
Take a lengthy strip of Animal Vet and pinch the ends together. If it needs tightening simply pinch the bandage and take it back on itself and press down.
Securing a Catheter/Tubing
Animal Vet can be used to secure a catheter or tubing in place.
Simply apply the bandage as before, but tear a hole for the catheter to go through. Then apply a piece of Animal Polster over the top of the tube.
 Removal
Animal Vet is a cohesive polyurethane foam so will not stick to skin hair or wounds, it only sticks to itself so it is easy to remove by tearing apart.
Animal Soft is a thinner version of Animal Vet and has the same properties. It can be removed by tearing apart.
Animal Gauze is a cotton equivalent of Animal Vet/Soft it is best removed by peeling it apart.
Animal Elast is a quality cohesive bandage which should be removed by unrolling. The bandage may then be washed using a mild detergent.
Animal Polster is an ADHESIVE polyurethane foam band will stick to hair, fur and skin. It can sometimes be difficult to remove and may leave an adhesive residue behind. To assist in its removal we have available to purchase, a medical grade adhesive remover which contains an emollient to prevent the skin from drying out. It is best applied using a cotton bud dipped into the bottle. The cotton bud is then run under the edge of the Animal Polster, breaking down the adhesive contact with the fur/hair/skin. It should never be applied directly to the wound and should always be used on a cotton bud or cotton pad.
Once the dressing has been removed, small deposits of adhesive residue may be removed by gentle rubbing using a cotton pad soaked in Adhesive Remover.
Storage
Ideally these products should be stored in a cool dark place, in their original packaging.
Exposure to direct sunlight could cause the products to discolour, however this will not effect their adhesive/cohesive properties.
The bandages should be kept rolled, especially Animal Polster, as creasing the bandage may cause the adhesive to lift from the polyurethane.
