Vented SecureWrap+Breathable Wound Bandage

I have never bandaged a horse wound before. Is this wrap easy to apply?

It is one of the more forgiving wraps to work with. The material stretches and conforms, so you are not fighting it as you go. Start at the base of the area, overlap each layer by about half, and keep the tension even. If you are not sure, your vet or a more experienced barn hand can walk you through it the first time — it gets easier quickly. \

How often should I change the bandage?

That depends entirely on the wound and what your vet recommends. For most injuries, daily or every-other-day changes are common. The good news is that SecureWrap+ comes off cleanly and goes back on quickly, so frequent changes are not the ordeal they can be with other wraps. \

Can I apply this over a poultice or topical ointment?

Yes. SecureWrap+ is designed to go over whatever treatment you have applied — poultice, ointment, wound dressing, or pad. It holds the treatment in place without breaking down or pulling product off when removed. \

How does this compare to a standard self-adhesive bandage like a Vetrap?

The main difference is airflow. Standard cohesive bandages form a solid barrier that can trap heat and moisture, which is not ideal for extended wear. The vented construction of SecureWrap+ allows the wound area to breathe while still keeping the dressing secure. It is also reusable, where most cohesive wraps are single-use. \

Is this appropriate for use directly after surgery?

SecureWrap+ is an outer wrap, not a primary wound dressing — so it is used to secure and protect whatever post-surgical bandaging your vet has applied. Always follow your vet's specific bandaging protocol after surgery, and check with them if you have questions about what goes under the wrap. \

Can I order this in bulk for a large operation or clinic?

Yes. If you need larger quantities for a busy barn, livestock operation, or veterinary clinic, reach out and we can discuss bulk pricing and availability. We would rather set you up with what you need than have you running out mid-treatment. \

Does this work in cold or wet weather conditions?

Yes. SecureWrap+ holds up through wet, muddy barn conditions without breaking down. That said, bandaged wounds should still be checked regularly — any bandage can wick moisture in particularly wet conditions, so monitor accordingly and change the dressing if it becomes saturated. \

What goes underneath this wrap?

Typically a wound pad, non-stick dressing, or poultice depending on what you are treating. For horses, a layer of quilted bandaging material under the SecureWrap+ is common for added padding and absorbency on lower leg wounds. Your vet will usually specify what they want under the outer wrap. \

Does it work on hard-to-bandage areas like hocks or knees?

Yes, and that is one of its strengths. The flexible material conforms to joints and bony areas more easily than rigid alternatives. Getting a secure bandage on a hock or knee is genuinely tricky — the stretch in SecureWrap+ helps it stay put where other wraps tend to slip. \

Is this compatible with other wound care products you carry?

SecureWrap+ is designed to work as the outer layer over whatever wound care product your treatment calls for. It pairs well with our other equine wound care products — if you want to talk through a full wound management setup for a specific situation, reach out and we will help you put it together. \
