How to use

Before applying, clean and disinfect the wound as directed by your veterinarian. Remove the dressing from its sterile packaging without touching the contact area. Place it directly onto the wound or incision, gently pressing the edges together to ensure adhesion. Change the dressing every 24–48 hours or as recommended by your veterinarian. Refer to the package insert for detailed instructions on duration of use. Do not reuse opened dressings, as they lose their sterility. Keep the area dry and prevent your pet from licking or chewing the dressing; use an Elizabethan collar if necessary.

Indicated for

This dressing is suitable for dogs and cats of any age or size requiring sterile coverage of surgical wounds, cuts, abrasions, or skin lesions. It is especially useful in the postoperative period following surgeries such as castration, sterilization, tumor removal, or tissue repair. It can also be used for first aid on clean wounds needing temporary protection.

FAQ

Can I use this dressing on infected wounds?

This dressing is not intended for actively infected wounds. If you observe signs of infection (pus, redness, foul odor), consult your veterinarian for specific treatment. This dressing is for clean or post-operative wounds only.

Is it safe for cats that lick themselves a lot?

Yes, but supervision is recommended. If your cat tries to remove the dressing, use an Elizabethan collar or a secondary bandage to prevent damage. The dressing is non-toxic, but ingesting fragments can cause digestive problems.

How often should I change the dressing?

The frequency depends on the type of wound and your veterinarian's instructions. Generally, it's recommended to change the dressing every 24-48 hours, or sooner if it gets wet or dirty. Always follow your veterinarian's guidelines to prevent infection.

How should I store the bandage pack?

Store the package in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Once opened, use the dressings within 30 days to maintain sterility. Do not store them in the bathroom or near heat sources.

Can I cut the dressing to fit small wounds?

Yes, you can cut it with sterile scissors to fit the size of the wound. Make sure the edges are clean and don't touch the adhesive surface with your hands. Cut only the amount needed to avoid waste.

Does this dressing replace surgical sutures?

No. The dressing is an adjunct to protect the wound, not a substitute for stitches, staples, or surgical adhesives. It should always be used under veterinary supervision after surgery or injury requiring professional closure.
