Product Description

3M Vetrap Bandaging Tape is a self-adherent, cohesive bandaging wrap used on cats, dogs, horses, and other animals. The elastic fabric conforms easily around joints, paws, tails, and other hard-to-bandage contours, sticking firmly to itself without sticking to hair or fur. Trusted by veterinarians and animal owners for over 40 years, Vetrap is a versatile, high-performance wrap that delivers support, protection, compression, and bandage securement without clips, pins, or extra tape.

Key Features

  • Sticks to itself, not to hair or fur
  • Tears cleanly by hand with no scissors needed
  • Latex-free, breathable, lightweight, and porous
  • Maintains even compression over time without slipping
  • Layers bond together for a secure, stay-put fit
  • Absorbs virtually no moisture

Common Uses

  • Supporting strains and sprains
  • Immobilizing limbs for splints and casts
  • Supporting limbs after cast removal
  • Securing catheters, gauze, and primary bandages
  • Holding hoof packing or poultices in place
  • Wrapping tails, legs, paws, and other awkward contours

Note: This product contains natural rubber latex which may cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. Country of Origin: United States.

Application Instructions

  1. Clean and dry the area to be bandaged. If covering a wound, place an appropriate primary dressing or gauze pad first.
  2. Unroll a short length of Vetrap and begin wrapping over the dressing or directly on the limb, starting below the area to be supported.
  3. Apply the tape at approximately 50% stretch. Pull a section off the roll, let it relax slightly, then wrap. Do not pull the tape tight directly off the roll, as this can impair circulation.
  4. Overlap each pass by about half the width of the tape, working upward in a spiral pattern.
  5. Apply the final wrap with no tension and press firmly into place so the cohesive layers seal together.
  6. Tear the end cleanly by hand. No clips, pins, or extra tape are needed.
  7. To remove, unwrap the tape or cut carefully with bandage scissors. Vetrap will not tighten or loosen on its own once applied, so the tension set during application is the tension maintained.

Important: Always monitor wrapped limbs for signs of swelling, coldness, or discomfort. If the wrap appears too tight, remove and reapply with less tension.

* Multiple cases may be shipped per package in order to minimize the charge for shipping.

Question & Answers

User Reviews

Made in the USA
hot melt rubber (synthetic)
Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
natural rubber
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
acrylic
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
silicone
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
zinc oxide
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.
Thickness, AKA caliper or gauge, refers to the distance from one surface of a tape backing, or adhesive, to the other.
1 mil = 1/1000 of an inch
Examples: 1/16 inch = 62.5 mils; 1/32 inch = 31.25 mils
The cut level indicates how many grams of cutting load a glove can withstand from a sharp blade before being penetrated.
Lower gauge gloves are heavier - have thicker construction, fewer stiches knitted per inch and offer less dexterity.
Higher gauge gloves are lighter - have thinner/finer construction, more stitches knitted per inch and offer more dexterity.
Gloves offered typically runs from 7 to 18 (12 and 13 are in the middle of the scale).
