3M Vetrap Bandaging Tape - Red - 4" x 5yd - Self-Adhering Cohesive Wrap for Horses and Pets - Veterinary Grade

Ensure your horse receives professional-grade support and protection with the industry standard in cohesive bandaging. Whether you're managing a hoof abscess or securing a wound dressing, 3M Vetrap provides the reliable, non-slip compression needed to keep your equine partner comfortable and on the path to recovery.

Engineered by 3M, this 4-inch by 5-yard bandage is the gold standard for equestrians who demand performance without the mess of traditional adhesives. The lightweight, porous material allows for critical airflow to the skin, preventing moisture buildup and irritation, while the unique self-adhering technology ensures the wrap sticks only to itself—never to your horse's hair or skin—for painless removal and superior stay-put power during movement.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Professional-Grade Self-Adhesion: Sticks securely only to itself, eliminating the need for clips or pins and ensuring no sticky residue is left on the horse's coat or skin.
• Breathable Porous Material: The lightweight, high-tech construction promotes essential air circulation, reducing the risk of skin maceration and keeping the wound site healthy.
• Standard 4" x 5yd Dimensions: The equestrian-preferred 4-inch width provides ideal coverage for legs and hooves, offering 5 yards of stretched length for comprehensive wrapping.
• Flexible Support & Compression: Conforms easily to difficult joints and contours, providing consistent pressure to stabilize sprains, fractures, or secure sterile dressings in place.
• Vibrant Red Visibility: The bold red color allows for easy monitoring of the bandage placement and condition, ensuring you can check your horse's status at a glance.
• Versatile Hoof & Wound Care: An essential tool for treating hoof abscesses and protecting poultices, as well as providing "run-down" protection during transport or exercise.
• Veterinary-Grade Durability: Trusted by professionals worldwide for its ability to maintain tension and resist unraveling even on active, high-performance horses.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I avoid "bandage bows" or circulation issues when applying Vetrap?
A: To prevent tendon damage, always follow the "50/50 rule." Apply the tape with approximately 50% stretch and ensure each layer overlaps the previous one by 50%. Never apply at full tension, as the elastic properties of Vetrap can create excessive pressure if over-tightened.

Q: Is this tape suitable for treating hoof abscesses?
A: Absolutely. 3M Vetrap is the preferred outer layer for hoof management, providing a durable, protective barrier that holds poultices and dressings securely in place against dirt and moisture while your horse is stalled or turned out.

Q: Will this stick to my horse's winter coat or leave a residue?
A: No. Vetrap is a cohesive bandage, meaning it is designed to stick only to itself. It will not pull on hair or leave any sticky adhesive behind, making it the most comfortable choice for horses with sensitive skin or thick coats.
