ADAPTARAP™ is a unique innovation in hoofcare. The labour-saving dissolvable hoof bandage feels and looks like plastic but is made from a starch based material that is fully biodegradable. The non-elastic material ensures a close fit as slight pressure can be applied during wrapping of the foot without increasing the risk of pressure wounds.
PRODUCT BENEFITS:
• DISSOLVES - ADAPTARAP™ naturally dissolves between two hours and five days after application, depending on the environment and situation. This eliminates additional time for bandage removal and helps reduce the risk of infection relapses which can occur when removal of conventional bandages is not completed in a timely manner.
• SAFE - ADAPTARAP™ will not stretch during application, decreasing the risk of pressure wounds.
• ADAPTS - ADAPTARAP™ is likely to remain intact in dry conditions and will last longer.
• BIODEGRADABLE - ADAPTARAP™ is completely biodegradable resulting in zero accumulation of residues and removes the risk of blocking and wrapping concerns with manure handling equipment.
TO PREPARE ADAPTARAP™:
1. Apply usual treatment and gauze dressing.
2. Use ADAPTARAP™ to wrap in between the claws and around the hoof but avoid completing more than 360 degree turns around the hoof without passing between the claws each time.
3. Once sufficient material is applied, just wet the tail end of the wrap with water and it will stick to itself by applying slight pressure.
4. When using the wrap, try to cover up to just below the dewclaws at the back of the leg so the wrap does not slide off during the treatment period.
5. In cold weather, keep the film in a warm, clean, dry place such as your pocket.
6. Keep in a clean, dry place between use.
