Stabilization

Certain injuries, such as a fracture, dislocation or distortion, must be stabilized in an animal to allow for proper healing. Depending on the type of injury, different bandage materials are used for this purpose. Thus, plaster casts are used for fractures or orthopedic corrections, for example, due to their immobilizing properties. Cast bandages are preferred as an alternative to plaster bandages due to their light weight, especially for small animals. In the case of less serious injuries, such as a dislocation or distortion, support as well as relief bandages are sufficient. Depending on the injury, rigid or semi-rigid versions can be used, which are applied to the animal with ready-to-use zinc paste bandages. In our online store you will find a wide variety of fixation splints, zinc paste bandages and plaster and cast bandages. Order now easily and conveniently with just one click.

Bandaging Materials

Veterinary bandages are among the most frequently used consumables in veterinary medicine. They are essential not only for wound care 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, an adhesive bandage is no longer just a simple plaster but rather an antibacterial, infection-preventive, and breathable wound dressing. Likewise, specialized bandaging materials are now considered high-tech products in modern medical technology.

Wound Care

After cleaning and, if necessary, surgically treating a wound, individual wound dressings are applied to protect the affected area. These dressings provide essential protection, allowing the wound to heal undisturbed. They prevent dirt from entering and stop the animal from reopening the wound through licking or biting. Wound dressings are typically secured using materials such as compresses, fixation bandages, padding bandages, or adhesive tape. Some fixation bandages are coated with bitter substances to discourage animals from tampering with the dressing. In addition to standard wound dressings, pressure bandages are frequently used to control bleeding in animals. Support bandages are applied in conservative fracture treatments, while restrictive bandages help prevent excessive strain on injured limbs. Proper padding plays a crucial role in bandaging, as it not only absorbs wound exudate but also prevents slippage of the wound covering and the formation of edema or pressure sores.
