Elisabetta Class 40CM collar

The Elisabetta Class 40CM Collar is an essential protective device designed to ensure the well-being of animals during post-operative recovery or in situations where it is necessary to prevent licking, nibbling or scratching of injured areas, dressings or surgical wounds. Designed to be comfortable and easy to apply, the collar adapts perfectly to the neck of medium-sized dogs, thanks to its length of 40 centimetres, offering effective protection without excessively limiting the animal's daily movements. The transparent design allows for better visibility, reducing anxiety and stress, while the rounded edges and lightweight structure avoid unpleasant rubbing or skin irritation. The secure fastening with clip closure or adjustment laces allows for quick, practical and adjustable mounting on most traditional collars.

The Elisabetta Class 40CM Collar represents the ideal solution for protecting your pet's health without depriving it of comfort. You can use it both in the case of small surgical operations and for the healing of localized dermatitis, abrasions, stitches, dermatological medications or insect bites that the animal tends to touch or lick. Constructed of durable yet flexible plastic material, the collar is easy to sanitize and can be reused multiple times as needed. Thanks to the transparency, the dog maintains a satisfactory field of vision, resulting in less disorientation during daily activities at home or on a walk. The Elisabetta Collar is also ideal in cases where the veterinarian recommends using additional protection to prevent the animal from interfering with specific topical therapies or medicated plasters, offering a guarantee of safety for both the dog and the people who assist him.

Therapeutic Indications

The Elisabetta Class 40CM Collar is used in all those situations where it is essential to prevent the animal from coming into direct contact with sensitive parts of its body. It is particularly suitable during the post-operative period, such as after surgeries involving stitches, cuts or incisions, where it is essential to limit the risk of infections, wound dehiscence or premature removal of stitches caused by licking. It is also very useful for the management of dermatitis, skin inflammation, allergies, application of creams or disinfectants that must not be ingested or removed from the animal, and to prevent complications resulting from self-inflicted scratches or bites. The collar can also be used to limit accessibility to areas of the muzzle or ears where specific treatments are in progress or to avoid traumatic contact with objects during the animal's movements. In the event of the presence of external parasites, crusts, licking sores or intense itching, the continuous use of the Elisabetta Collar allows the action of the therapies prescribed by the vet to be maintained intact, promoting faster and safer healing. The collar is also often recommended in the case of abdominal, thoracic or limb surgical wounds, or when it is necessary to avoid the accidental removal of post-operative plasters or protective bandages.

Composition

The Elisabetta Class 40CM Collar is made of high quality plastic material, specifically chosen to be resistant to impacts and flexible at the same time, so as to adapt softly to the shape of the dog's neck, reducing the possibility of accidental breakages or cracks. The materials are non-toxic and easily washable, ensuring safety for both animals and people who handle them. The edges of the collar are designed with a rounded profile or covered in rubber-like or soft material to avoid abrasion of the skin both on the neck and around the animal's head, providing greater comfort even during prolonged periods of use. The closure system, usually made up of resistant laces or an adjustable clip system, perfectly accompanies the needs of safety and practicality. The transparent structure of the collar allows easy observation of the dog, without excessively obstructing peripheral vision and perception of the environment.

Contraindications

The use of the Elisabetta Class 40CM Collar is not recommended in subjects who show serious signs of discomfort, anxiety or excessive stress upon the introduction of devices on the neck or who present respiratory alterations or difficulty swallowing when wearing rigid protections. In subjects who are hypersensitive or allergic to plastic materials or the finishing components of the collar, it is preferable to evaluate alternative solutions for the protection of wounds or dressings, following veterinary consultation. Furthermore, use must be avoided on animals that are very small in size or, vice versa, excessively large compared to the size provided by the collar, to prevent the risk of ineffectiveness of the protective barrier and physical discomfort.

Safety of the drug for the species

The adoption of the Elisabetta Class 40CM Collar is generally well tolerated by most animals and does not interfere with normal physiological functions. However, it is good practice to constantly monitor the animal's status during the first days of use, ensuring that no self-harming behavior occurs due to the presence of the collar, difficulties in feeding, hydrating or breathing. The collar should be removed or adjusted if there is evidence of persistent irritation, pain or uncomfortable behavior. For particularly lively or active subjects, it is important to be careful when playing or moving around in domestic environments, to prevent the collar from getting stuck in narrow spaces or on furniture, with the consequent risk of accidental injuries. It is recommended to regularly check the condition of the collar and the tightness of the closure system.

Precautions

Before applying the Elisabetta Class 40CM Collar, it is advisable to carefully measure the diameter of the animal's neck and evaluate whether the measurement corresponds to the recommended size for this specific model. Throughout the entire period of use, it is essential to ensure that the collar does not cause discomfort and that it is worn in such a way as to allow normal opening of the mouth, swallowing and movement of the head. Do not leave the animal unattended for prolonged periods, especially in the first moments of adaptation, and instruct family members and children not to pull or move the collar unnecessarily. Clean the device regularly with neutral detergent and water to maintain an adequate level of hygiene and change it in case of damage, breakages or loss of transparency.

Method of administration

The application of the Elisabetta Collar involves introducing the animal's head through the central opening, positioning the collar up to the base of the neck. Subsequently, it is closed using the adjustable fastening laces or the provided clip system, ensuring that the collar remains firmly in position but not tight to the point of hindering normal respiratory or movement functions. In the case of animals with particularly robust or muscular necks, it may be necessary to check for the possible presence of pressure zones. It is possible to integrate the collar with the normal collar of the animal, passing it through the appropriate slots or fixing holes. The usage time is normally determined by the veterinarian; in general, it is recommended to keep the collar until the lesion or the dressing to be protected is completely healed.

Treatment program

The period of application of the Elisabetta Class 40CM Collar varies depending on the type and severity of the lesion or ongoing therapy. In the case of surgical or post-operative wounds, maintenance is generally recommended until the stitches are removed and the tissues are completely regenerated. In situations of dermatitis, eczema or localized infections, the duration of use is evaluated based on the success of skin healing and the therapeutic prescription. The collar can be removed temporarily, under supervision, to allow the animal to eat or have oral hygiene, but must be repositioned immediately once the specific need is met. Prolonged use beyond the necessary times can be stressful for the dog; therefore, following the actual recovery progress through periodic veterinary visits facilitates optimal management of the treatment program.
