What is Hartmann Peha-Haft 6cm x 20m 1ud cohesive bandage?

The Hartmann Peha-Haft Cohesive Bandage (6cm x 20m, 1 unit) is a care and bandaging accessory designed for securing dressings and securing wounds in dogs and cats. Manufactured by Hartmann, this cohesive bandage adheres to itself without the need for clips or tape, offering firm and comfortable support. Its main benefit is providing a secure and flexible hold without excessive compression, ideal for dressings in areas of movement or for protecting wounds during the pet's activity.

Characteristics and benefits

• Self-cohesion: It adheres only to itself, not to hair or skin, making it easy to remove without pain or residue.
• Controlled elasticity: It offers uniform compression that adapts to the animal's anatomy, allowing natural movement without slipping.
• breathable: Porous material that allows ventilation of the treated area, reducing the risk of skin maceration.
• Easy manual application: It can be cut to size without scissors, ideal for quick use in the clinic or at home.
• Hypoallergenic: Latex-free, suitable for pets with sensitive skin or known allergies.
• Economic format: Roll 6 cm wide by 20 meters long, enough for multiple applications on medium to large dogs and cats.

How to use

Apply the bandage starting from the distal end (leg or limb) and working proximally, overlapping each turn by 50% to ensure even coverage. Do not overstretch to avoid excessive compression; the bandage should fit snugly but not leave marks on the skin. Remove by cutting with blunt-tipped scissors or gently unrolling. It is recommended to change the bandage as directed by your veterinarian, generally every 24–48 hours, or sooner if the area is wet or dirty. See the package insert for detailed instructions.
