Equi-Sential Pro Flex Cohesive Bandage - Box of 12
Description
Equi-Sential Pro Flex Cohesive Bandage - Box of 12
The Equi-Sential Pro Flex Bandage is a cohesive equine bandage that sticks to itself rather than to coat, skin or hair, making it ideal for holding dressings in place or giving additional support where needed. It is supplied as a box of 12 rolls, so it suits horse owners, livery yards, riding schools and anyone restocking a stable or travelling first aid kit.
Cohesive bandages are best for short-term dressing retention and light support over padding, and are a standard component of most equine first aid kits alongside gamgee, wound cleaner and scissors. You can browse more yard essentials in our horse first aid collection.

How to Use
- Clean and dress the area as advised by your vet, then apply suitable padding.
- Start the bandage at the lower edge of the padding and anchor it with one full turn.
- Wind upwards in overlapping turns, using even, moderate tension - do not stretch the bandage tight as you apply it.
- Finish with a turn over itself and press the end down so it bonds; tear by hand if any excess remains.
- Check the limb regularly for heat, swelling or rubbing, and remove the bandage if the horse is uncomfortable.
- Replace the bandage once removed or soiled - cohesive bandages are intended for single use.
FAQ
How many rolls are in a box?
Each box contains 12 rolls. The 5cm width is the exception and is supplied as 24 rolls per box.
Does the bandage stick to the horse's coat?
No. It is a cohesive bandage, which means it bonds to itself rather than to hair, skin or coat, so it can be removed without pulling.
Can it be used for support as well as dressings?
Yes. It is designed to hold dressings in place and can also be used when additional support is needed, applied over appropriate padding.
Can I reuse a roll once it has been applied?
Cohesive bandages are intended for single use. Once removed or soiled, the roll should be replaced.
How tight should a cohesive bandage be?
Apply with even, moderate tension over padding. Cohesive bandages can tighten if stretched firmly while winding, so avoid pulling the roll taut and check the limb regularly.
Do I still need veterinary advice?
Yes. A bandage supports wound management but does not replace veterinary care - always seek advice for any wound or injury you are unsure about.
