PETFLEX NON-CHEW BANDAGE 10CM X 4.5M ANDOVER(NDR)

Petflex No Chew Bandage 10cm x 4.5m – Advanced protection for pet injuries

Andover's Petflex No Chew Bandage is designed to provide an effective and safe solution for managing injuries, wounds, or immobilizations in pets. Its key feature is the inclusion of a clinically proven bittering agent that discourages animals from biting, licking, or tearing off the bandage, promoting uninterrupted recovery. It is ideal for dogs, cats, and other active or nervous companion pets.

Composition and Active Ingredients

• Material: Cohesive non-woven elastic fabric
• Bittering agent: Denatonium benzoate (Bitrex), non-toxic
• Dimensions 10 cm wide x 4.5 meters long
• Properties: Cohesive (sticks to itself), water-repellent, latex-free

Dosage and Instructions for Use

Unroll the bandage and place it over the clean, protected area (preferably with sterile gauze if there is a wound). Apply with moderate tension, ensuring it does not restrict circulation. The bandage adheres to itself, so no adhesive tape or additional fasteners are required. It can be torn by hand without scissors. Replace daily or as directed by a veterinarian.
