The Covetrus Veterinary Cohesive Bandage 5cm is a self-adhering wrap designed for animal wound care, post-surgical dressing retention, and light support. It sticks to itself rather than fur, skin, or clothing, so it stays in place without pins, clips, or tape.
- Width: 5cm
- Self-adhering: bonds to itself, not to coat or skin
- Flexible and breathable: moves with the animal and allows airflow to the wound site
- Non-constricting: conforms without cutting off circulation when applied correctly
- Adjustable compression: wrap in single or multiple layers to vary thickness and support
- Tool-free removal: tears and unwinds by hand, no scissors required
- Contains latex
Cohesive bandages are widely used in veterinary practice to secure primary dressings, provide light compression, and protect IV sites. Because the wrap clings to itself, you can adjust tension layer by layer to deliver firm support without pinching the tissue beneath.
Application tip: apply with consistent, even tension and check the limb regularly for swelling, coolness, or discomfort. A correctly applied cohesive bandage should hold the dressing securely whilst still allowing normal blood flow to surrounding tissue.
