Vetrap, Co-Flex, and other cohesive bandages are designed to stretch. That stretch is the problem.
Elastic wraps can act as a tourniquet if applied with even slight tension. On tails wrapped over the tailbone, this cuts off blood supply. On legs, it causes pressure injuries during extended wear. The consequences range from discomfort to permanent damage.
Horsemen need wrap that holds securely for days or weeks at a time — without the stretch that creates circulation risk.
Zero stretch means zero tourniquet risk. Guard-Tex holds securely without the dangerous compression that elastic bandages create.
Guard-Tex tail wraps last through turnout, trailering, and daily activity. Many horsemen leave wraps on for a full month between deep conditioning.
Zero adhesive means no mess and no hair pulling. Unwrap cleanly without damaging the tail or leaving residue.
Vetrap and Co-Flex stretch — creating tourniquet risk if wrapped too tight. This is especially dangerous over the tailbone where circulation problems can kill the tail. Guard-Tex provides secure hold with zero stretch. The non-elastic design eliminates the most dangerous variable in long-term wrapping.
Critical: Always braid below the tailbone to avoid circulation issues. Start the braid where the bone ends and continue to the bottom of the tail.
Roll the braid up toward the dock. Wrap with Guard-Tex, overlapping by 50%. The tape sticks to itself — no need to wrap tight.
Take down once a week to finger comb, then rebraid and rewrap. Monthly, shampoo and deep oil condition before rewrapping.
Protect tails during trailering, shows, winter turnout, and daily activity. Guard-Tex keeps braids secure without the circulation risk of elastic wraps.
Secure dressings, support minor sprains, and protect padding. The non-elastic design provides stable support without pressure buildup during extended wear.
Guard-Tex's latex coating makes it suitable for wet applications. Use over poultices and wet dressings where moisture retention is needed.
Guard-Tex is non-elastic. Vetrap and other cohesive bandages stretch, which creates tourniquet risk if wrapped too tight. Guard-Tex provides secure hold without dangerous compression, making it safer for long-term wear.
Many horsemen leave Guard-Tex tail wraps on for up to one month. Weekly check-ins to finger comb and rebraid are recommended. Monthly, take down completely for shampooing and deep conditioning.
No. Guard-Tex has zero adhesive — it only sticks to itself. When you unwrap, there's no mess and no hair pulling.
Yes. Guard-Tex works well for securing dressings, supporting minor strains, and protecting padding. The non-elastic design provides stable support without the pressure buildup that elastic bandages can cause.
