What is Audevard Animalintex Robinson Horse poultice used for?
Animalintex is a boric acid poultice that can be used dry, cold or hot:
- Dry: highly absorbent. It is therefore particularly recommended for oozing wounds.
- Cold: the cold has a vasoconstrictive effect that is beneficial in cases of laminitis or bleeding. It also has an analgesic (pain-relieving) effect, making it ideal for use on tendonitis, elongations or suros.
- Hot: heat causes vasodilatation, responsible for a better supply of white blood cells and oxygen, conducive to healing. Warmth also promotes vascular permeability, for better drainage. Ideal for abscesses, seimes, street nails, lymphangitis, calcifications and pressure sores.
Animalintex is a multi-purpose dressing in three layers:
- Non-woven fleece : non-adherent to preserve the scar bud.
- Cotton + boric acid + Tragacanth: high-quality cotton for better absorption, containing a mild antiseptic and a draining gel.
- Polyethylene outer face: impermeable protection against external aggression, keeps the poultice at the right temperature.
When it comes to caring for our four-legged friends, it's essential to have versatile, effective products on hand to treat a variety of ailments. That's where Audevard's Robinson Animalintex Cataplasm comes in, a versatile product designed to meet a variety of veterinary care needs. In this product brief, we'll explore in detail the features, benefits and uses of this unique poultice for animals.
Robinson Animalintex poultice is an exceptionally versatile product that can be used in three different ways to meet your pet's specific needs:
When used dry, this poultice is highly absorbent. It is therefore particularly recommended for oozing wounds. By absorbing excess moisture, it helps keep the wound area clean and promotes an environment conducive to healing.
Cold has vasoconstrictive properties, making it favorable in certain situations such as laminitis or bleeding. It also has an analgesic effect, which means it can soothe pain. Consequently, this poultice is used on tendonitis, muscle strains or suros to reduce inflammation and relieve pain.
When used hot, this poultice induces vasodilation, promoting a better blood supply of white blood cells and oxygen. This is beneficial for optimal healing. In addition, heat stimulates vascular permeability, promoting better drainage. It is therefore recommended for ailments such as abscesses, seime, rue nail, lymphangitis, mollets or bedsores.
Robinson Animalintex Cataplasm is designed in three distinct layers to guarantee optimum results in every use:
The top layer of the poultice is a non-woven fleece that is non-adherent. This means it doesn't adhere to the wound, preserving the growing scar bud. It protects the wound area while allowing the poultice to absorb moisture.
The middle layer is made of high-grade cotton for optimum absorption. In addition, this layer contains boric acid, a mild antiseptic, and tragacanth, a draining gel. This combination ensures that the poultice keeps the wound area clean while helping to reduce inflammation.
The outer face of the poultice is made of polyethylene, making it impervious to external aggression. It also keeps the poultice at the right temperature, which is essential for hot use.
The Audevard veterinary laboratory also offers the Balsamic Air liquid supplement, at the best price in our online pharmacy.
How to use this poultice
Clean the skin before applying the poultice. Cut Animalintex to desired size.
Place Animalintex with the transparent plastic film facing outwards (non-woven veil in contact with the horse). Hold Animalintex in place with EQUIWRAP cohesive tape. Ensure that the poultice is well covered by the bandage.
- As a dry dressing: apply Animalintex directly to the skin.
- As a cold poultice: Place Animalintex in a clean container, plastic side up. Pour in cold water (saline solution or boiled and cooled water). When the poultice is saturated, gently remove Animalintex and allow excess liquid to drain away (the poultice should be moist, but not waterlogged). Mold the poultice around the horse's body.
- As a warm poultice: Follow the above procedure with lukewarm water (approx. 38°C).
