Description
AluSpray® Aerosol Bandage is a convenient aluminum aerosol spray that creates a breathable, water-resistant protective coating over superficial wounds in both small and large animals. The aluminum powder forms a light metallic barrier that helps shield minor cuts, scrapes, abrasions, and surgical sites from dirt, insects, and other environmental contaminants while allowing oxygen to reach the wound to support natural healing.
Ideal for use after dehorning, castration, tail docking, or on minor wounds and summer sores, AluSpray® eliminates the need for traditional bandages in many situations. It can also be applied over topical ointments or salves when additional wound protection is desired.

How It Works
