Product Information
Full details
The Korda Ulcer Swab is an essential antiseptic tool designed for coarse and carp anglers who prioritize fish care and conservation. This treatment provides a direct, easy-to-apply solution for cleaning and disinfecting open wounds, sores, and ulcers on fish to prevent bacterial or fungal infections. While it is a critical component of a responsible angler's kit for promoting safer healing, it is intended for topical application on external lesions and should not be used as a substitute for professional veterinary care in cases of severe trauma.

FAQs
Is the Korda Ulcer Swab safe for all fish species?
It is specifically formulated for carp and coarse fish. It is intended to be safe and effective for these species when used as directed.
How long does the antiseptic take to work?
The application is intended to provide immediate disinfection of the affected area. The fish should be returned to the water immediately after treatment.
Can I use this on deep hook wounds?
Yes, it is excellent for cleaning the site where a hook has caused a tear or puncture, provided the wound is superficial enough for topical application.
Does it expire?
While it does not have a short-term shelf life, it should be kept in a cool, dark place and replaced if the product appears discolored or loses its efficacy.
Is it harmful if the fish drinks the water after treatment?
The product is designed to be used safely in aquatic environments, but you should always apply it sparingly and directly to the wound to ensure minimal dispersal into the water.
Troubleshooting
Swab appears dry upon opening
Check the seal on the original packaging; if the seal was compromised during storage, the antiseptic may have evaporated. Always ensure the pack is properly closed after use.
Difficulty reaching a wound under scales
Gently lift the overlapping scales using a clean, blunt instrument or your finger to ensure the antiseptic contacts the underlying skin tissue.
