How to use Equaide...
Clean wound with saline solution/dilute hibiscrub and gauze swabs
Dry wound
Apply a thin layer of Equaide solution
Apply a non stick pad (Melolin is what we personally use and recommend)
Cover with one roll of soffban plus bandage 15cm in width
Use thick cotton wool or veterinary gamgee to pad wound for protection
Cover with a knit-firm 15cm bandage
Cover with vetwrap

This gives a great padding to protect the wound. To begin with we would recommend changing this bandage every 1-2 days and then change to every other day once it stops bleeding/weeping.  If proud flesh is present we recommend cleaning and re-applying daily most effective results in a shorter space of time.  When Equaide dissolves proud flesh it will produce a yellow fluid which is completely normal and means it is doing its job.
 
If you wish to cover a wound which cannot be bandaged we would recommend using Polster Plast. Please note this type of bandage is extremely sticky but is great at doing its job and keeping wounds covered.  To remove any excess sticky residue a little tip would be to use a touch of baby oil which will do the job nicely.
