Product Description
The Surgi-Sox Torso with Step-In Application (closes with VELCRO® Brand fasteners) provides coverage, protection and compression of the torso. Compression can help prevent seroma formation following surgery and can also benefit animals with certain behavioral issues. Use of the Surgi-Sox Torso can often replace traditional bandaging methods and the dreaded Elizabethan collar. The closure along the back using VELCRO® Brand fasteners makes this product quick and easy to apply. The product slips on and provides reliable coverage, protection and compression. Improved patient comfort reduces licking, chewing and scratching at wounds. The simplicity of the garments results in greater compliance.
Compression has been successfully used to calm animals and can be beneficial for the recovering patient and for anxious, excitable or fearful animals in both the clinic and home setting.
The level of compression can be adjusted based on the size selected. Our sizing chart is based on a mild to moderate compression and can be used as a guideline if more or less compression is desired.
