Product Description
The Proficol Transparent Elizabethan Collar is a veterinary protective device designed to prevent dogs and cats from touching or damaging their own wounds, rashes or post-surgical stitches. This collar is especially useful during the post-operative recovery period, helping to avoid complications and speed up the healing process. Its opaque polyethylene plastic structure makes it resistant and durable, while ensuring visibility for the animal. Equipped with buckles for easy attachment, the collar can be adjusted to fit comfortably on the pet's neck and can be sanitized simply with soap and water.
It is important to monitor your pet after applying the collar to ensure that he cannot remove it and that it does not cause discomfort. The collar is available in different sizes to fit dogs and cats of various sizes, and it is essential to choose the correct size by measuring the contour of the pet's neck. If you are unsure between two sizes, we recommend opting for the larger size to ensure comfort and functionality.
Therapeutic Indications
The Proficol Transparent Elizabethan Collar is indicated for the protection of wounds, rashes, sutures and other sensitive areas that should not be touched by the animal. It is particularly recommended for post-surgical use or during the treatment of dermatological conditions that require avoiding direct contact of the animal with the affected areas. The collar helps prevent licking, biting and scratching that can compromise healing or cause infection.
Composition
The collar is made of opaque polyethylene plastic, a material chosen for its robustness and durability over time. The transparency of the collar allows the animal to maintain good visibility, reducing stress and facilitating adaptation to the device. The integrated buckles allow for easy and secure attachment to the neck, while the smooth surface of the collar is easy to clean and keep hygienic.
Contraindications
There are no specific contraindications for the use of Proficol Transparent Elizabethan Collar, however it is essential to ensure that the animal does not present hypersensitivity reactions to the collar material. Furthermore, it is necessary to check that the collar is correctly fixed and not too tight, to avoid discomfort or respiratory problems for the animal.
Product Safety
The collar has been designed to be safe and comfortable for the animal. However, it is important to supervise your pet in the first few hours of wearing the collar to ensure there are no attempts to remove it or signs of discomfort. Furthermore, it is advisable to periodically check the fastening of the collar to ensure that it remains in place and does not come loose.
Precautions
Before applying the Proficol Transparent Elizabethan Collar, it is important to correctly measure the contour of the pet's neck to select the most suitable size. It is essential to check that the animal is not able to reach the areas protected by the collar and that this does not impede breathing or the ability to drink and eat. After application, wash your hands and keep the collar clean to prevent infection.
Method of Administration
To apply the collar, insert the buckles in the correct position and adjust the length so that the collar fits comfortably around the pet's neck without tightening. Make sure the collar is wide enough to prevent the animal from reaching the areas to be protected, but not so loose that it can be removed with the paws.
Treatment Program
