Animalintex
Animalintex is a highly absorbent, multi-layered dressing impregnated with mild antiseptic and a poulticing agent. The natural poulticing agent, Tragacanth, is activated by water and helps draw out infected wounds whilst a mild anti-septic then minimises infection and promotes healing.
Animalintex can be applied as a wet hot poultice or a cold poultice or as a dry dressing.
Applied as a hot poultice animalintex acts to increase the blood supply to the injured areas, providing more oxygen and infection fighting white blood cells. The warmth helps to relieve the pain and provides comfort for the horse. Cold wet poulticing is recommended for bruises, sprains and strains including conditions such as sore shins, capped hocks, splints and laminitis. The dressing can be refrigerated before application if necessary.
Used as a dry dressing animalintex can be used for pressure padding after strenuous exercise to prevent or relieve inflammation or it can be applied directly to a wound as an absorbent low adherent dry dressing. Animalintex can be cut to the size or shape required.
A must for any first aid box!
