Self-adhering, non-stretch cotton for clinicians evaluating dressing-retention materials. Review the material and contact us about supply for your practice.
Guard-Tex
Material facts.
Self-adhering
Overlapping layers adhere to one another, not to fur.
Natural rubber latex
The cohesive coating contains natural rubber latex. Account for patient and staff allergies.
Clinical use
Fit belongs in the clinical plan.
Assess whether Guard-Tex is appropriate for retention in the specific bandage system. Select the dressing, padding, fit and monitoring schedule for the patient.
Non-stretch does not mean pressure-free. Incorrect application or swelling can make any wrap too tight. Guard-Tex is not a substitute for a prescribed compression or support product.
For clients caring for a bandaged animal at home, provide patient-specific instructions and a clear route to contact your team.

Questions, answered.
Is Guard-Tex an elastic cohesive bandage?
No. It is a self-adhering, non-stretch cotton wrap. Assess its suitability for retention rather than substituting it for an elastic product with a different clinical purpose.
Does this page establish suitability for a specific patient?
No. Material information is provided for professional assessment. The treating veterinarian determines suitability and the bandage plan.
Does Guard-Tex contain latex?
Yes. Guard-Tex contains natural rubber latex. Do not use if you or your animal has a natural rubber latex allergy.
