It is the choice for demanding applications where standard cohesive bandages may shift or loosen: high-movement areas (stifle, carpus, tarsus), active or working dogs, and post-orthopaedic bandaging requiring firm, stable support.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cream-coloured woven cotton-elastic backing stretches and returns to support the underlying tissue, while the zinc oxide-based adhesive creates a direct bond to clipped fur or skin that significantly resists slippage. Available in 5 cm, 7.5 cm, and 10 cm widths to suit different patient sizes and coverage requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect skin\/fur adhesion — maximum resistance to slippage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControlled elasticity — stretches with movement, returns to support position\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBreathable woven cotton-elastic backing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4.5 m roll — generous length for most applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in 5 cm, 7.5 cm, and 10 cm widths\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCream colour — neutral, professional appearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eApplication Caution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElastic adhesive bandages apply significant compression to underlying tissue. Apply with substantially less stretch than feels instinctive — over-application is the most common clinical error with EABs and can cause vascular compromise. Always check extremities distal to the bandage after 30 minutes for swelling, coldness, or reluctance to weight bear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat widths are available?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e5 cm, 7.5 cm, and 10 cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs Vet-Plast latex-free?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo — standard formula contains latex.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVivoPet 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSupplement Advisor's Note\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWound 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kruuse","offers":[{"title":"5 cm – Box of 10","offer_id":46657389396153,"sku":"128658","price":70.89,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"7.5 cm – Box of 10","offer_id":46657389428921,"sku":"128539","price":220.19,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"10 cm – Box of 10","offer_id":46657389461689,"sku":"128540","price":127.59,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0769\/2592\/7609\/files\/128658.jpg?v=1773959666","url":"https:\/\/vivopet.ca\/products\/kruuse-vet-plast-elastic-adhesive-bandage","provider":"VivoPet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
