This soft, flexible, and lightweight suit allows air to circulate around the wound, keeping it dry, and helps keep patients warm after surgery. The light-colored interior makes it easy to spot any fluid discharge. For added protection, a porous sheet or incontinence pad can be inserted within the suit or between the double layer on the belly section. This suit is also effective for pets in season or experiencing incontinence, reducing the risk of stains in your home. It's designed to be difficult for pets to wriggle out of, unlike standard shorts. For skin conditions, the suit offers targeted protection, preventing damage from scratching or biting. It's designed for convenience, allowing your dog to use the litter tray and go outside by simply opening the rear end of the suit.
