Fm Italia Vet Flex flexible cohesive bands are a versatile and practical product, designed for the support and protection of animals' limbs. Made of high quality elastic material, these bands offer optimal compression without restricting the animal's natural mobility. Their black color adds a sober and elegant touch, ideal for any veterinary or domestic use.
Thanks to their adaptability, these bands are perfect for fixing dressings, supporting joints or muscles in case of trauma or fatigue, and for preventing injuries during physical activities or rehabilitation. The controlled elasticity allows for simple and safe application, avoiding annoying slipping but without exerting excessive compression that could compromise blood circulation.
The flexible cohesive bands are also breathable and lightweight, ensuring comfort for the animal during the entire period of use. They are easy to cut and shape as needed, allowing a precise fit on any part of the body. Their fixing occurs without the use of external clips or adhesives, thanks to the self-adherent surface that adheres to itself, making the product extremely safe and versatile.
Therapeutic Indications
Fm Italia Vet Flex flexible cohesive bands are indicated for the functional support and protection of muscle, tendon and joint injuries in pets, especially dogs. They are particularly useful for securing bandages after surgery, trauma or superficial wounds, preventing excessive movement which could compromise healing. Furthermore, they are effective in providing temporary stability to areas subject to repeated strain or stress, such as legs or joints.
They are recommended for the prevention of injuries during physical activity, especially in sporting or working animals, reducing the risk of sprains or strains thanks to the elastic support that does not limit mobility. In the rehabilitation field, their compressive action helps reduce swelling and improve local circulation, promoting faster and safer recovery. Being hypoallergenic and breathable, they are also suitable for sensitized skin or for prolonged use, without risk of irritation or discomfort.
The band can be used in every season and for all levels of activity, from post-operative rest to active mobility, adapting perfectly to the needs of the animal and the veterinarian.
Composition
Fm Italia Vet Flex flexible cohesive bands are made with high quality materials that guarantee elasticity, resistance and comfort. The outer fabric is composed of a blend of elastic and synthetic fibers, designed to offer balanced elasticity, which allows for fluid movement without losing sealing ability.
The internal substrate is made up of a porous structure that allows excellent breathability, avoiding overheating and the accumulation of humidity, factors that could cause skin irritation or infections. The self-adherent surface is designed to adhere to itself without the use of chemical adhesives, reducing the risk of allergies or adverse reactions. This system guarantees a secure hold, but at the same time is easy to remove without damaging the fur or skin.
The band has a width of 10cm, an ideal size to ensure sufficient coverage on different parts of the body, with a length that allows it to adapt to specific needs and can be easily shaped with normal scissors. This composition makes Fm Italia Vet Flex a reliable, durable and comfortable product for the animal during every phase of use.
Contraindications
The use of Fm Italia Vet Flex flexible cohesive bands is generally safe and well tolerated by animals, but it is advisable to avoid direct application on unprotected open wounds, infected lesions or areas with obvious skin problems such as acute dermatitis or severe irritation. In these cases, it is recommended to consult a veterinarian before proceeding with use, to evaluate the most appropriate solution and prevent possible complications.
It is also important not to apply the band too tightly, as too much compression can interfere with blood circulation and cause swelling or pain. If you observe any signs of discomfort, irritation, changes in skin color or swelling during use, you should immediately remove the band and contact a professional for evaluation.
Do not use the band on animals with extremely delicate skin conditions unless indicated by a veterinary surgeon, and do not apply the product in the presence of known allergies to the synthetic or elastic materials that make up the band.
Product safety for the species
Fm Italia Vet Flex flexible cohesive bands are designed to be safe and comfortable for use on dogs and other animal species of a size compatible with the width of the band (10 cm). The hypoallergenic material minimizes the risk of skin reactions even in subjects with sensitive skin or a tendency to dermatitis.
Thanks to their breathability and lightness, the bands allow prolonged application without compromising the animal's well-being, reducing the risk of irritation or chafing. Furthermore, adhesion only to itself eliminates the need for adhesives or glues that could cause irritation or damage to the fur.
The product is safe even in the presence of moderate physical activity, since its elasticity guarantees comfort and mobility without causing constraints or excessive pressure. However, regular monitoring during use is crucial to ensure that the band maintains the correct position and does not cause discomfort or tightness, especially in cases of prolonged use. This attention further increases the safety of the product.
Precautions
Before applying the Fm Italia Vet Flex flexible cohesive bands, it is recommended to carefully clean and dry the affected area to ensure better adhesion and reduce the risk of infections or skin irritation. It is important to avoid applying the bandage to areas with open wounds, infections or painful irritations, and always consult a vet if in doubt.
During application, make sure that the band is not too tight so as not to compromise blood circulation, nor too loose so as not to lose its support function. It is recommended to check the bandaged area regularly, especially in the first few hours of application, to detect any signs of discomfort, numbness or swelling.
In case of prolonged use, it is recommended to remove the band daily for a short period, to allow the skin to breathe and check skin health. Store the bands in a cool, dry place, away from direct light and humidity, to preserve their technical characteristics and ensure a long life of the product.
Method of administration
Fm Italia Vet Flex flexible cohesive bands are easy to use and can be applied without the use of special tools. Before application, measure the length needed to cover the affected area, then cut the band with normal scissors. Wrap the band around the part to be protected, slightly overlapping the beginning and end to allow the material to adhere self-adherently.
It is not necessary to use external clips or adhesive tapes, as the band adheres to itself in a stable and secure manner. During application, maintain a balanced tension: make sure the band is snug enough to offer support, but not excessively tight as to cause discomfort or circulatory problems.
The band can be easily shaped to fit the animal's different body shapes, such as paws, ankles, muscles or joints. The product is suitable for both professional veterinary use and for home support, allowing quick, practical and comfortable application even by owners.
Treatment program
The use of Fm Italia Vet Flex flexible cohesive bands must be customized based on the condition and needs of the animal. In case of post-traumatic or post-operative support, the band can be applied and kept in position for periods ranging from a few days to several weeks, according to the veterinarian's indications and the clinical response observed.
For mild muscle or joint injuries, the band can be used during physical activity or during moments of rest to prevent overload and facilitate healing. It is important to remove and reapply the bandage daily to allow monitoring of the bandaged area and ensure hygiene. In the case of chronic conditions or prolonged rehabilitation, treatment with the band can be integrated with other therapies recommended by the veterinarian.
Since each animal has different needs and reactions, it is advisable to carefully observe the behavior and well-being during use of the band, adapting the frequency and duration of application based on the specific situation and professional indications.
Target species
Fm Italia Vet Flex flexible cohesive bands are mainly intended for dogs, but can also be used on other animal species with similar anatomical characteristics and dimensions compatible with the 10 cm width of the band. These wraps are particularly suitable for dogs of all sizes that need functional support, protection of vulnerable areas or attachment of dressings in a comfortable and safe way.
They can be used in professional veterinary, rehabilitation or by owners for the management of common conditions such as trauma, sporting activities, injury prevention and post-operative support. The versatility and ease of application make this product a practical and effective choice for the well-being of pets in various clinical and routine situations.
