Veterinary Analysis of Superior Cohesive Bandage 5cm x 4,5m Red COVETRUS

The Covetrus Superior Red Cohesive Bandage (5cm x 4,5m) is an essential clinical resource in modern veterinary medicine. Designed specifically for animals, its self-adhering technology, without external adhesives, allows for firm fixation without compromising coat integrity or causing trauma upon removal. Ideal for surgical, orthopedic, and first aid settings, this bandage stands out for its adaptability, strength, and ease of application on species such as dogs, cats, horses, and exotic animals.

Analytical Composition and Actives

• Non-woven fabric (polypropylene and elastane): 80 %
• Synthetic natural latex: 15% (provides a cohesive effect without chemical adhesives)
• Certified textile dye: 5% (Intense red, non-toxic, visible under clinical conditions)

Free of phthalates, heavy metals, and irritants. Contains no glues, preventing skin reactions and facilitating removal.

Dosage and Correct Administration

• Species: Dogs, cats, equines, exotic animals and farm animals.
• Change frequency: Every 24 to 48 hours or sooner if it gets wet, dirty or loses its grip.
• Application mode:
  1. Clean and dry the affected area completely.
  2. Apply a dressing if there is an open wound.
  3. Roll the bandage with a 50% overlap between layers.
  4. Do not apply excessive tension to avoid circulatory constriction.
  5. Tear by hand once the appropriate length is reached.

In joint areas (elbow, knee, tarsus), apply with greater caution and check twice a day to avoid accumulated pressure.
