What is the Gamgee Audevard bandage used for?
Gamgee Audevard Dressing is an essential medical device for horse care, specially designed to meet the specific needs of these majestic animals. It features a thick layer of surgical cotton, wrapped in tubular non-woven gauze for optimum protection and exceptional absorption. Primarily used for post-surgical care and protection of tendons and joints, Gamgee bandages are a valuable ally for all owners and veterinarians concerned about the well-being of their horses.
One of Gamgee's major assets is its ability to protect sensitive areas while facilitating healing. Thanks to the surgical quality of the cotton fibers of which it is made, this dressing ensures optimum absorption of fluids, while evenly distributing the pressure exerted on injured or weakened areas. In this way, it makes an effective contribution to preventing pressure sores and reducing the risk of infection, enabling faster, safer healing.
This product is also distinguished by its synthetic-free design, guaranteeing superior comfort for the horse. The non-woven veil enveloping the cotton has been specifically designed not to adhere to wounds, thus preserving the scar bud and facilitating the healing process. This makes the Gamgee dressing particularly suitable for limb care, where it's essential to minimize irritation and maximize the horse's comfort.
In addition to its dressing function, Gamgee can also be used to protect tendons and joints. Its high shock-absorbing capacity and resistance to wear make it an ideal choice for horses subject to intense activity, such as sport riding or competitions. It reduces the risk of injury while keeping joints and tendons in perfect condition.
Another advantage of the Gamgee bandage is its versatility. It can be cut to the desired size to perfectly fit the horse's morphology, whether it's a pony or a large horse. This flexibility makes it possible to create customized bandages, optimizing the effectiveness of care while reducing the number of manipulations required.
In conclusion, the Gamgee Audevard bandage is a wise choice for all those seeking quality care for their horses. Its natural composition, generous thickness and ability to protect and heal make it the product of choice for equine limb care. Recommended for protecting tendons, joints and post-surgical care, Gamgee bandages are a must-have for all owners concerned about their horses' well-being.

How to use this product?
Audevard Gamgee is mainly used as a post-surgical dressing, or to protect joints and tendons in horses. For best results, we recommend following the steps below:
- Post-surgical dressing: Place Gamgee dressing directly on the area to be protected. Make sure it is positioned to cover the entire wound or incision.
- Three-layer dressing: For extra protection, use Gamgee dressing in combination with Animalintex dressing as the first layer, followed by Gamgee cotton padding, then finish with Equiwrap cohesive bandage. This method ensures maximum protection while keeping the wound clean and secure.
- Joint protection: Wrap the dressing around sensitive areas such as the knee, hock or fetlock to offer effective shock protection and prevent injury.
- Tendon protection: Gamgee dressing can be used as an intermediate layer under a cohesive bandage to reduce tension on tendons and evenly distribute the pressure exerted by the bandage.
