Bandages

Any animal can injure itself, for example, when playing with a conspecific or because it was startled and came up the wrong way. However, in order for the wound to heal properly, proper wound care must be ensured. If this is not ensured, serious inflammation and secondary injuries can result. Since animals have a natural urge to move and also scratch, scrape and lick themselves, it is important to give the wound the necessary rest to heal with the help of bandages. Discover our diverse range in our online store to be able to adequately care for and immobilize the animals' wounds. From sutures for veterinary medicine to plasters for dogs or cats, you can order everything conveniently and easily online with one click.

Bandaging Materials

Veterinary bandaging materials are among the most commonly used consumables in veterinary medicine. They are essential not only for wound dressings but also for treating fractures and sprains. Since the invention of sterile cotton wool in 1871, bandaging materials have undergone significant advancements in quality. Today, even adhesive bandages are no longer simple plasters but rather antibacterial, infection-preventive, and breathable wound coverings. Similarly, specialized bandaging materials are now considered high-tech products in medical technology.

Wound Care

Following wound cleaning and, if necessary, surgical treatment, individual wound dressings are applied to protect the affected area. These dressings help wounds heal by providing essential stability, preventing dirt from entering, and stopping animals from reopening the wound by licking or biting. A wound dressing is typically secured with materials such as compresses, fixation bandages, padding bandages, or adhesive tape. Some fixation bandages are coated with bitter substances to deter animals from tampering with them. In addition to wound dressings, pressure bandages are commonly used to control bleeding in animals. Support bandages are applied for conservative fracture treatment, while restrictive bandages help prevent excessive movement. Proper padding plays a crucial role in bandaging, serving not only to absorb wound exudate but also to prevent slipping of the wound dressing and the formation of edema or pressure sores. Veterinarians may choose from suitable fixation bandages or compresses depending on the indication.
