Petflex Fantasy Bandage 5cm x 4,5m: Stylish veterinary protection

The Petflex Fantasy Bandage is a self-adhesive elastic bandage designed specifically for use on pets such as dogs, cats, and exotic animals. This product combines medical functionality with attractive designs, making it ideal for treating minor injuries, securing dressings, or protecting sensitive areas after veterinary procedures. Thanks to its high-quality material, it won't stick to the pet's fur, preventing discomfort and allowing for secure and comfortable bandaging.

Composition and Active Ingredients

• Material: Elastic non-woven fabric composed of polyester fibers and natural latex.
• Adhesion: Cohesion technology between layers (does not require external adhesive).
• Latex-free in some versions (check in case of allergies).

Dosage and Instructions for Use

To apply the bandage correctly:

1. Clean and disinfect the affected area as directed by the veterinarian.
2. Place a sterile gauze over the wound if it is an open wound.
3. Unroll the bandage and wrap it around the area with light pressure. There is no need to stretch it excessively.
4. Overlap at least 50% of each turn for added support.
5. Cut or tear by hand when you reach the desired length.
6. Avoid making it too tight so as not to compromise circulation.

Recommended duration: between 24 and 48 hours. Replace if it becomes damp, dirty, or loses adhesion.
