Lightweight Elastic Adhesive Tape for Comfortable Support
BSN Medical Lightplast Pro is a premium elastic adhesive tape that combines the support of an EAB with a notably lighter, thinner construction compared to heavier products like Tensoplast. The result is a more conformable, comfortable elastic adhesive product that is particularly well-suited for applications where the weight and bulk of standard EABs are impractical — feline patients, small breed dogs, and applications requiring minimal bulk at the bandage site.
Lightplast Pro's lighter backing material reduces patient discomfort and improves compliance during extended bandage wear. It maintains reliable adhesion to fur and skin and provides the same basic elastic support function as Tensoplast at a lower profile.
Key Features

FAQ
What is the difference between Lightplast Pro and Tensoplast?
Lightplast Pro is thinner and lighter — more comfortable for extended wear and better suited for cats and small dogs. Tensoplast provides heavier, firmer compression and support. Choose based on patient size and compression requirements.
Why Quality Supplies Matter in Veterinary Wound Care
Every component of a wound care dressing system matters — from the wound contact layer to the outer fixation layer. Using professional-grade supplies designed for veterinary use ensures consistent performance, appropriate material safety, and compatibility with the other components of the dressing system. Home-use or hardware store substitutes may seem interchangeable but often lack the softness, sterility standards, or material specifications required for safe wound care.
VivoPet sources wound care supplies from the same professional veterinary distributors that supply Canadian veterinary hospitals. This means the products available here are the same items your veterinarian uses in clinic — not consumer-market approximations of professional supplies. If your veterinarian has recommended a specific wound care protocol, the supplies available at VivoPet allow you to follow that protocol consistently at home between clinic visits.
Supplement Advisor's Note
Wound healing is a complex biological process that depends not just on the dressing materials used, but on consistent dressing change frequency, appropriate wound cleaning technique, and timely identification of complications like infection or dressing-related pressure injury. If a wound is not showing visible improvement after 5-7 days of home wound care, or if you observe increasing redness, swelling, warmth, or discharge, consult your veterinarian before continuing home management. Early identification of complications prevents minor issues from becoming major setbacks in the healing process.
