ABSTRACT:
A disposable protective bandage for protecting an animal's abdominal or leg surgical incisions or sutures or injuries from licking or scratching. An elongated, strong, chew-resistant, elasticized fabric mesh sheet is adapted to be wrapped around the torso or a leg of an animal after injury or surgery. The sheet is sufficiently elastic to closely and snugly conform to the shape of the animal's body to be protected. The ends of the sheet are secured together, preferably by a hook-and-loop fastening means. Where the torso is wrapped, the fastener should be at the top of the back where it cannot be easily chewed or scratched. When wrapped around a leg, excess material can be trimmed away, providing a smooth surface difficult to chew or scratch. A plurality of soft plastic stays are secured to the sheet, transverse to the length of the sheet. Two or more rows of stays may be provided where a leg is wrapped to provide for joint flexing. A pocket may be provided intermediate the sheet ends for a gauze pad or the like. The sheet and stays flex with the animals movement and provide support, making the animal more comfortable and protecting the wound or incision against licking, infection, scratching or other injury.
