This bandage is suitable for dogs, cats, horses and exotic animals, thanks to its elasticity and ease of application without damaging the fur.

Can a VET-FLEX bandage be reused after it has been removed?

Reuse is not recommended, as the cohesive capacity decreases after the first use and could compromise the effectiveness of the bandage.

Does VET-FLEX contain latex?

Yes, the product contains natural latex, so its use should be avoided in animals with a known sensitivity to latex.

How should the 10-unit pack be stored correctly?

It should be stored in a dry place, protected from direct sunlight and at room temperature to preserve its adhesive and structural properties.

Is it waterproof?

Yes, the VET-FLEX bandage is water-resistant, allowing it to retain its adhesion even in humid environments or during contact with liquids.

Can the bandage be cut without compromising its effectiveness?

Yes, it can be cut with scissors to suit the required length without affecting its functionality or cohesiveness.

What is the difference between a cohesive bandage and an adhesive bandage?
