Product Information

Full details

Teisen Hoofcare Tape is an essential tool for livestock owners and farmers looking to provide robust, external protection for animal hooves during recovery. It is specifically designed to create a moisture-resistant and fly-repellent barrier that keeps treatment sites clean after applying hoofcare gels. While it provides excellent adhesion and durability for bandage support, users should ensure the hoof is thoroughly cleaned and dried before application to guarantee the tape remains securely in place.

FAQs

Can this tape be applied directly to a wound?

It is recommended to use a sterile dressing or hoofcare gel between the wound and the tape to protect the area.

Is the tape waterproof?

The tape is moisture-resistant, designed to keep the underlying dressing dry in damp environments.

How long should the tape remain on the hoof?

This depends on the severity of the condition; follow your veterinarian's advice regarding dressing change intervals.

Does the fly-repellent affect the animal's skin?

The tape is designed for external use; however, monitor the animal for any signs of skin irritation and discontinue use if sensitivity occurs.

Is this tape stretchy?

Yes, it has slight elasticity to allow for a snug fit, but care should be taken not to wrap it too tightly to avoid restricting circulation.

Troubleshooting

Tape is falling off or peeling prematurely

Ensure the hoof is completely dry and free of oil or debris before application. Applying to a damp hoof significantly reduces adhesive performance.

Difficulty removing the tape

Use warm, soapy water to help loosen the adhesive or use bandage scissors to carefully cut the tape away from the animal.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a reliable barrier against moisture and environmental contaminants
  • Acts as an effective deterrent for flies near treatment sites
  • Generous 25m length ensures excellent value and long-term supply
  • Easy to apply over existing hoof bandages or dressings
  • Strong adhesive properties minimize the need for frequent re-taping

Cons

  • Requires a clean, dry surface for optimal adhesion
  • Not intended for direct application to open wounds without appropriate dressing
  • Removal may require scissors to avoid pulling on sensitive hair or skin

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Application is straightforward: ensure the hoof is dry to maximize the adhesive bond. The tape is compatible with standard hoof bandages, cotton wool, and common veterinary hoof gels. To remove, use blunt-tipped bandage scissors to cut through the tape carefully; avoid pulling the tape against the grain of the hair. Store the rolls in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the adhesive layer over time. Avoid stretching the tape too tightly during application, as this can restrict blood flow if applied around the coronary band.
