Rheva Small Wound Protection Dressing 7 x 5 cm
Description
Rheva Small Wound Protection - Patented Mesh Dressing for Joints and Limbs
Rheva Small Wound Protection is a patented 7 x 5 cm adhesive dressing for horses, designed for smaller wounds and for high-movement areas such as joints and limbs. A specialised mesh creates a protective barrier between the wound and potential infection risks, while the dressing applies as easily as a standard bandage.
It is best for horse owners, grooms and yard managers who need a dependable first aid option for knocks and grazes on knees, hocks, fetlocks and cannon bones, where ordinary dressings tend to crease or lift. Browse more yard essentials in our horse health and veterinary collection.

How to Use
- Restrain the horse safely and assess the wound. Call your vet for deep, heavily contaminated or non-healing wounds, or any injury near a joint capsule.
- Clean the wound following your vet's guidance and allow the surrounding skin to dry fully.
- Clip or trim hair around the area if needed so the acrylic adhesive can bond to the skin.
- Peel the backing and position the dressing centrally over the wound, smoothing outwards from the middle.
- Press the adhesive edges down firmly, following the contour of the joint or limb.
- Check the dressing daily and replace it if it becomes soiled, wet or lifts at the edges.
