Flex'on Cohesive Tape for Horses, Various Colors

What is Flex'on Horses Cohesive Tape used for?

Applying a proper bandage to a horse’s limb isn’t as simple as it seems. Anyone who has ever put on a rest bandage knows that all it takes is one movement from the horse for the bandage to unroll and end up on the ground. Cohesive bandages have the huge advantage of being self-adhesive—meaning they stick to themselves without being sticky. The bandage won’t unravel even if you let go of it halfway through.

The bandage doesn’t stick to the horse’s skin, straw, or wood shavings, and it stays in place very well. It’s also stretchy, which allows for good support without being too tight. Finally, it can be easily cut by hand, making it an extremely practical bandaging tool to use. These wraps are breathable and water-repellent, though not waterproof.

Flex’on offers all the benefits of a support and compression bandage:

• Cohesive: It sticks to itself without sticking to the skin or coat.
• Durable: It allows for the creation of secure bandages that the animal cannot remove
• Elastic: It adapts perfectly to the contours of the bandaged area, and the tension applied is even and uniform. It does not stretch out.
• Water-repellent, breathable, and hypoallergenic
• Easy to apply; tears easily by hand.

Flex'on is a non-adhesive, elastic cohesive bandage for horses, designed for use:

1. for support (surgical dressings),
2. for compression (trauma dressings),
3. as a work bandage (use with great caution!),
4. as a tail bandage (for gynecological exams, breeding, and foaling).

The Flex'on bandage is economical and offers good value for the price.

One of the most notable features of this bandage is its self-adhesive properties. It sticks to itself without requiring clips, clamps, or glue. This makes it very easy to use, as it can be quickly applied and removed without leaving any sticky residue.

The Flex-on Cohesive Bandage for Horses offers controlled elasticity that maintains optimal compression without being too tight. It conforms perfectly to the contours of the horse’s body without restricting its mobility, making it ideal for a variety of applications.

Whether used outdoors or indoors, this tape is water-resistant, meaning it retains its adhesion even when exposed to moisture or sweat.

The Flex-on Horses Cohesive Tape is available in a range of attractive colors. This not only caters to aesthetic preferences but also makes it easy to distinguish between tapes when used on multiple horses.

How do you use these cohesive wraps?

• Apply the Flex-on cohesive bandage with approximately 50% stretch: do not apply it too tightly to avoid the risk of compression and impaired blood circulation.
  To secure the bandage, apply the last 15 cm without stretching it and press firmly to ensure good adhesion.
• The Flex'on tape must be removed and replaced every day. The Flex'on tape must be removed and replaced every day. Do not apply to an open wound.
• Always apply a layer of cotton padding underneath, whether or not there is a wound.
• Secure the cotton with a crepe bandage to ensure the horse’s dressing is even.
• Apply the cohesive bandage from top to bottom, starting on the cotton with a full wrap at the top and then gradually working down, overlapping half the width of the previous wrap (like a rest bandage). Maintain even tension.

  Important:
• Always apply the bandage over the cotton pad, allowing it to extend above and below the pad to prevent the bandage from rubbing against the skin, which can cause irritation.
• Change the bandage regularly as needed. If there is pain or swelling above or below the bandage, do not hesitate to remove it.
• For an injured horse, always consult your veterinarian, at least by phone.
