Product Description
The Ubavet Ubaflex Cohesive Bandage system offers veterinary professionals and pet owners a superior solution for wound care and injury support. Each 2-inch wide bandage extends to 36 inches in length, providing ample coverage for various applications from small cuts to larger wound dressings.
The unique cohesive technology allows the bandage to stick only to itself, eliminating the need for clips, pins, or adhesive tape that can cause discomfort during removal. This makes it particularly valuable for pets with sensitive skin or thick coats where traditional adhesive bandages may not adhere properly or cause pain when removed.
The elastic construction provides consistent, controlled compression that helps reduce swelling while supporting healing tissues. The breathable fabric prevents moisture buildup that could lead to skin maceration or bacterial growth, while still maintaining water resistance against light moisture exposure.
Key Features
- Latex-free construction reduces allergic reactions
- Non-slip surface stays securely in place during activity
- Tears easily by hand for quick application
- Maintains elasticity through multiple uses
- Assorted colors for easy identification and organization
Directions for Use
- Clean and dry the area to be bandaged thoroughly
- Apply any necessary wound dressing or padding first
- Begin wrapping with light tension, overlapping each layer by half the bandage width

- Remove by carefully unwrapping - the bandage will release easily from itself
Supplement Advisor's Note
Cohesive bandages are essential tools for proper wound management and injury support. The self-adhering property of Ubaflex bandages makes them particularly suitable for pets who may be sensitive to traditional adhesive products. Always ensure proper circulation is maintained and consult with your veterinarian for serious injuries or if you notice any signs of complications during healing.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long can I leave the cohesive bandage on my pet?
Generally, cohesive bandages should be changed every 2-3 days or as directed by your veterinarian. Monitor daily for signs of swelling, odor, or discharge that may indicate the need for earlier bandage changes.
Will this bandage stick to my pet's fur?
No, Ubaflex cohesive bandages are designed to stick only to themselves, not to fur, skin, or other surfaces. This makes removal comfortable and trauma-free for your pet.
Can I reuse cohesive bandages?
While cohesive bandages can sometimes be reused if they remain clean and maintain their elasticity, it's generally recommended to use fresh bandages for each application to ensure optimal hygiene and adhesion.
What's the difference between cohesive and adhesive bandages?
Cohesive bandages stick only to themselves using a special coating, while adhesive bandages use sticky glue that adheres to skin and fur. Cohesive bandages are more comfortable for pets and easier to remove without causing pain or hair loss.
How tight should I apply the bandage?
Apply with gentle, consistent pressure - tight enough to provide support but not so tight as to restrict circulation. You should be able to slip a finger underneath the bandage. Watch for swelling, discoloration, or coldness in extremities which may indicate the bandage is too tight.
