Treating Wounds with Vetalintex® With our horses now enjoying more field time exuberant behaviour can sometimes lead to superficial injuries, these minor wounds require appropriate management, to avoid infection. Vetalintex® Sterile Wound Hydrogel from Robinson Animal Healthcare is a clear, viscose starch based hydrogel dressing, and is a must for any first-aid kit. Easy to apply, with an excellent gentle cleansing action, Vetalintex® has excellent donation and absorption properties which have been found to maintain optimum hydration levels, helping to keep the wound moist and promote healing. Supplied in a sterile tube for optimum infection control, this innovative gel is easy to apply, and is extremely cost effective. Vetalintex® comes in 15g tubes and should be applied liberally direct to the wound surface before applying an appropriate secondary dressing such as Activate® or Skintact®, also from Robinson Animal Healthcare. RRP is around £3.50. For further information contact Robinson Animal Healthcare on 01909 735000 or visit www. robinsonhealthcare.com [email protected] Page 49
