Product Information

Full details

Vet Cling is a versatile, self-adhering film wrap designed for horse owners and stable managers who need a reliable solution for wound care, bandaging, and quick equipment repairs. Its key benefit lies in its unique ability to stick firmly to itself without adhering to hair or skin, ensuring a clean, residue-free application that is both waterproof and durable. While it offers superior strength compared to standard kitchen films, users should exercise caution to ensure it is not wrapped too tightly to avoid restricting circulation.

FAQs

Does Vet Cling stick to horse hair?

No, it is specifically designed to stick to itself and not to the horse, which prevents pulling or irritation.

Can I use this on open wounds?

Vet Cling should be used as a top layer over a sterile, absorbent dressing; it should not be placed directly against a raw wound.

Is it safe to leave on overnight?

It is generally safe for short-term use during turnout or treatment, but always monitor the area for signs of swelling or tightness.

Do I need scissors to cut the film?

No, the film is designed to be easily tearable by hand for rapid application.

How should I dispose of used Vet Cling?

The film is fully recyclable; please place used, non-contaminated film into your local plastic recycling stream.

Is the material breathable?

No, Vet Cling is a waterproof barrier film and is not breathable, so it should not be used as the primary layer against a healing wound.

Troubleshooting

The film is not sticking to itself.

Ensure the wrap is clean and free of dust or hair, as the self-adhering property works best on clean, dry surfaces.

Difficulty starting the roll.

Locate the edge and peel it back carefully; the thicker construction may require a firm grip, but it will pull away smoothly once the edge is lifted.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sticks to itself without leaving adhesive residue
  • Waterproof and weather-resistant
  • Durable enough for stable repairs and travel
  • No scissors required for application
  • Fully recyclable material

Cons

  • Can restrict circulation if wrapped too tightly
  • Not breathable, so not suitable for long-term wound aeration
  • Requires careful tension control during application

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Application is straightforward: simply overlap the film by approximately 50% as you wrap to ensure a strong bond. Ensure the area is clean and dry before starting for the best adhesion. When using for medical purposes, always apply over a sterile dressing and check tension frequently to prevent cutting off circulation. Store rolls in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the material. As the product is recyclable, please dispose of used film in appropriate recycling bins where available.
