BSN Medical Tensoplast is one of the most trusted EABs in veterinary medicine, offering consistent extensibility and strong adhesion for demanding wound care and orthopaedic support applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTensoplast's woven cotton-elastic backing provides controlled extensibility — it stretches with the patient's movement but returns to its original tension, maintaining consistent compression without the progressive loosening seen with purely elastic products. The zinc oxide-based adhesive provides excellent adhesion to both skin and fur in the standard formula, with a latex-free (LF) version available for sensitive patients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElastic adhesive construction — combines conformability with direct adhesion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControlled extensibility prevents over-tightening and maintains compression\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in standard and latex-free (LF) formulations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMultiple width options: 2.5 cm, 5 cm, 7.5 cm, and 10 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWoven cotton-elastic backing — breathable and durable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUsed in veterinary clinics for orthopaedic and wound support applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStandard vs Latex-Free (LF)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe standard Tensoplast formula uses a zinc oxide adhesive that provides outstanding hold on skin and fur. The LF (Latex-Free) formula removes latex from both the backing and adhesive for patients with documented latex sensitivity. Both versions provide equivalent clinical performance — choose based on patient sensitivity status.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSupplement Advisor's Note\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElastic adhesive bandages apply significant compression — always apply with substantially less tension than you think is necessary, especially around limbs. A good rule: if you're applying it snugly, you're probably applying it too tightly. Check the toes or extremities below the bandage after 30 minutes for swelling, coldness, or paresthesia. EABs are not appropriate for open wounds or infected wound sites — they are an outer support layer only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat sizes are available?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStandard: 2.5 cm, 5 cm, and 7.5 cm widths.
