Semi-occlusive dressings are useful for wounds with moderate to high exudate.
Alginate dressings can be moistened and packed into a wound to increase inflammatory factors and restart wound healing.
Gutter splints are useful for maintaining stabilization of fractures below the carpus or the hock.

Bandage Planning

It is best to plan bandage changes in the most economical way to avoid multiple expensive changes.
Adapted ring dressings are used for bony prominences such as the elbow and the hock to reduce pressure sores.
Bandages are an aid to the ongoing healing of the wound and help to stabilize the wound and prevent disruptions in the healing process.
