A flat surgical tape on a 5m roll from the Aesculap Bovivet livestock range. Vets use tape of this kind for ligating the umbilicus and for vaginal retention (Buhner-type) sutures in cattle and sheep, where a broad tape holds without cutting through tissue the way a thin suture can. It is a surgical material, not a first aid item — the procedures it is used for need a veterinarian or a trained operator.
Supplied as a single 5m roll.
Who it is for
This is a veterinary clinical consumable, stocked for veterinarians, vet nurses and experienced handlers working under veterinary direction. It is not a treatment in itself, and correct use needs training.
- Flat tape — Spreads load across tissue rather than cutting through it.
- 5m roll — Cut to length as needed.
- Livestock range — Part of Aesculap's Bovivet farm-animal line.
