Wound Management

3M™ Vetrap™ Bandaging Tape is an effective aid when treating animals with hoof problems. Vetrap tape is lightweight but strong, self-adherent elastic wraps that have excellent handling qualities and provide durable protection following treatment of problems such as hoof rot, subsolar abscesses, laminitis, digital dermatitis (hairy warts) and interdigital corns (fibromas). Vetrap bandaging tape is an excellent tool to wrap damaged teats of dairy animals. The elastic wrap conforms to the cow's teat to provide protection and to help pinch close the teat canal of the animal. See technique attachment.

Animalintex® Poultice is made from 100% cotton wool with a non-woven covering on one side and a plastic backing on the other for moisture retention. The poultice pad contains a mild antiseptic (boric acid) to promote faster healing plus Tragacanth, a natural poultice agent.
