Animalintex Poultice
Animalintex combines proven active ingredients with a 170g/m needled cotton wool for extra strength and ease of use. Animalintex is an effective healing aid that can be applied as a hot or cold wet poultice or dry wound dressing.
It is the original and only licensed absorbent multi-layered poultice and wound dressing available and is classified as a Veterinary Medicinal Product and is therefore licensed by the Veterinary Medicines Directorate (VMD). It can be used as a hot poultice, cold poultice or dry dressing and is suitable for the treatment of infected wounds, open wounds, foot punctures, corns, bruised soles, thrush, seedy toe, abscesses, laminitis, sandcracks and thorns. Boric Acid BP is the main active ingredient which promotes effective healing, plus tragacanth, a natural poulticing agent that draws infection out of the wound.
Every batch of Animalintex has to be signed off by a qualified person to Veterinary Medical Directorate requirements to ensure consistent dosing and quality of ingredients.
