All bandages have a patented non-toxic non-slip grip applied on the inside of the bandage. This non-slip grip, when placed against the horses leg, will provide a non-slip hold that will effectively keep the bandage in place without separating or sliding down as conventional wraps often do. The light weight material provides comfort and flexibility of movement with no worries of creasing or wrinkling or turning into a non-breathable cast as with the use of cohesive wraps. Because of the patented duel catch fastening system Equine Bandaflex only requires a 1 ½ rotational wrap for a secure hold. Forget about having to cut off or find the end for unraveling…just lift tab and release. It’s that simple. Equine BandaFlex is water resistant, and even if fully submerged, will not shrink or lose any of its integrity or function ability. Equine BandaFlex Bandages are strong and resilient, and can be adjusted and refastened many times while maintaining its original integrity. There is not a disposable bandage on the market today that can make the same claim. Equine Bandaflex Bandages are so durable that although they are disposable they can be washed repeatedly (by hand with mild detergent and let to air dry) and reused over and over again. For those who choose to reuse, we recommend cutting the wound pad out after first use and inserting new wound pad in for additional bandage wrap use. Equine BandaFlex non adhesive bandages stretch to double their non -stretch length. Although the rebound tension (bounce back) has a gentle recovery It is never advisable to stretch bandages to their maximum stretch-ability. Stretching the bandage to 50% of its capacity will insure the most comfortable and effectively functioning fit. Meant solely for lower leg on the average size horse.Before applying a Equine BandaFlex bandage, gently stretch a few times to break its crisp new feel. This will soften the bandage and allow a form fit.
