Cotton Wool has been used for medical applications for 100’s of years, it is an excellent absorbing material that has many uses. The skill of dressing horses using cotton wool, whilst basic, is a very practical skill to learn. Cotton wool will give added comfort to any dressing and its absorbent qualities may assist in the healing process. Cotton wool will act as a second barrier to fluids, this is especially useful if fluids absorbed by the initial layer of a dressing are seeping through.

Our range of cotton wools come in a variety of styles, shapes and sizes. Premium cotton wools are great for general use, they come in a variety of roll widths and are more economical than the embossed ranges. This makes them perfectly suited for small tasks such as cleaning wounds and in preparation for wound management and care. Amacron Equine additionally offer a number of embossed cotton wools, which provide better padding and superior support especially in equine veterinary care. The embossed structure ensures a more even surface; it creates a consistent density throughout, allowing for a more comfortable dressing. Our Vetrol MediWool cotton wool range has been specifically designed and developed for the veterinary market.
