Technical characteristics of the Farmaban Crepe Fix Bandage 5cm x 5m

Farmaban's Crepe Fix 5cm x 5m bandage is a non-adhesive elastic bandage made from cotton fibers and synthetic materials that provide strength, elasticity, and breathability. Its main function is to securely fix dressings, gauze, or other medical devices to the animal's skin without causing excessive pressure or circulatory compromise.

Thanks to its crepe texture, this bandage offers effective mechanical adhesion to itself, allowing for stable bandages without the need for additional tape or clips.

Veterinary applications of the Crepe Fix Bandage

In veterinary clinical practice, this bandage is useful in a wide range of situations:

• Fixation of post-surgical dressings in dogs, cats and exotic animals.
• Protection of superficial wounds without occluding the skin.
• Prevention of licking or scratching in injured areas.
• Maintenance of intravenous catheters or venous access devices.

Its 5 cm wide by 5 meters long format makes it especially useful for bandaging small limbs or delicate areas.

Clinical advantages of using crepe bandages in animals

• High adaptability without altering peripheral circulation.
• It allows the skin to breathe, reducing the risk of maceration.
• It does not generate waste, which facilitates its removal without causing pain or discomfort to the animal.

How to use and recommendations

Before applying the bandage, it is recommended to clean and disinfect the area to be treated. Then, place the necessary dressing and apply the Crepe Fix bandage with moderate tension, ensuring that the area is completely covered and that it stays in place without creating folds or pressure points.

In restless animals or those with a tendency to remove bandages, it can be used in combination with an Elizabethan collar or additional bandages to reinforce the fixation.

Format and presentation

The bandage comes in individual rolls 5 cm wide by 5 meters long. Single-use product. Store in a dry place, away from direct light, to preserve its physical and chemical properties.
