- protects from contamination
- rigidity

tie over
splints for tarsus and tibia
extended lateral
plantar splint is needed for…
distal metatarsus and phalanges
velpaeu sling is for which limbs?
forelimbs non weight bearing
splints for mid metacarpus to distal radius
caudal AND lateral
finishing touch on a bandage
adhesive layer WITHOUT tension to keep dirt outq

mid/proximal metatarsus
ehmer sling is for which limbs

caudal
abdominal bandages (3)
- tie over/stent
- elastic bandage ($$$ is has to be replaced)
- CM hernia belt
NOT nylon binder
splints for mid/proximal radius
EXTENDED lateral
extended lateral splints are need for….
- tarsus and tibia
- mid/proximal radius
true or false: tertiary layer should NEVER contact skin
true
function of secondary layer
- absorbs excess exudate
- thick support/padding
- limits ROM
secured with conforming gauze
caudal AND lateral splints are needed for…
splints for mid metacarpus to distal radius
temporary immobilization + compression (like prior to fracture repair)
-should be 2-3 times the size of the limb
robert jones bandage
primary layer options for dry wounds (4)
- hydrogel
- hydrocolloid
- silicone gel sheet
- film
primary layer for exudative wounds
calcium alginate

- coban
function of robert jones bandage
temporary immobilization + compression (like prior to fracture repair)
-should be 2-3 times the size of the limb
option for sweat bandages
- nitrofurazone (carcinogen)
- DMSO
- epsom salt
function of standing wrap
- support
- protection
- increases circulation to minimize stocking up
what type of bandage requires a releasing incision
carpal bandage; make over accessory carpal bone
this abdominal bandage should NOT be used because doesn’t provide enough compression
nylon binder
antimicrobial dressings (3)
- polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB)
- silver dressings (good for chronic, pseudamons, staph aurues)
- honey
hock bandage
figure 8 bandage WITH plantar strip of elastic adhesive tape
splint needed for distal metatarsus and phalanges
plantar surface
splints needed for distal metacarpus and phalanges
dorsal
what is silicone gel sheet good for?
as primary layer for dry wounds or wounds which are at risk for excess granulation
splints for mid/proximal metatarsus
lateral AND plantar
dorsal splint is needed for…
distal metacarpus and phalanges
what to remember with sweat bandages
must change daily to prevent skin scalding
if making homemade ones with nitrofurazone wear gloves (carcinogen)
