Animalintex Poultice Pad is a convenient, ready-to-use poultice that comes in a pad. This unique poultice contains a mild antiseptic (boric acid) and tragacanth, a natural poulticing agent.
Gamgee Highly Absorbent Padding is a hospital quality 100% cotton roll with a non-woven, durable cover. Used as a wound dressing, protective padding or for warmth/insulation.
3M products are available through most tack stores and most horse catalogs. An addition list of distributors are available on our website.
A poultice draws out infection and soothes inflammation in a hoof, leg, or wound, but the traditional clay-in-a-bucket version is messy to mix and apply. A pad version delivers the same therapy in a clean, pre-measured form you simply moisten and wrap. 3M makes the Animalintex® Poultice Pad for exactly this reason — a convenient, ready-to-use poultice that comes in a pad, not a bucket.
A good poultice pad handles a wide range of common horse problems. As a hot poultice it works on abscesses, boils, infected or dirty wounds, cracked heels, thorns, laminitis, seedy toe, and corns; as a cold poultice it eases strains, sprains, sore shins, bruises, and capped hocks and elbows. The Animalintex® Poultice Pad from 3M can also be applied to the hoof after training to help cool and condition it, or used as a dry dressing over open wounds.
The Animalintex® Poultice Pad contains a mild antiseptic (boric acid) and tragacanth, a natural poulticing agent, so it aids wound healing while relieving minor stiffness and soreness. It absorbs exudate, provides a moist clean healing site, and cushions sore areas. 3M indicates it for use on horses and dogs, but it is not recommended for cats.
For dressing wounds and protecting legs in transit you want a highly absorbent padding that won't stick to the wound or shed fibers into it. The Gamgee® Highly Absorbent Padding from 3M is a hospital-quality 100% cotton roll with a non-woven, low-adherent cover — strong even when wet — making it well suited to surgical and wound dressings, limb immobilization, warmth and insulation for traveling, and economical, reusable stall and shipping wraps.
Yes. A ready-to-use poultice and a roll of absorbent padding are two of the most versatile items you can keep on hand for abscesses, wounds, strains, and travel emergencies, because they work without mixing or guesswork. Stocking the Animalintex® Poultice Pad and Gamgee® Highly Absorbent Padding from 3M means you are ready before a problem starts.
For over 40 years 3M has served the animal health industry, supplying veterinary professionals, trainers, and pet owners with products spanning bandaging tapes, x-ray and surgical products, and wound management solutions. That breadth and clinical heritage is why so many barns reach for 3M-branded wound care.
3M animal care products are available through most tack stores and horse catalogs, and a fuller list of distributors is published on the 3M website. For purchasing help you can call 1-800-848-0829 or email 3manimalcarepromotions@mmm.com.
