Broken cats need to be fixed

Most domestic cats nowadays live in high-rise buildings with dozens of floors. They live in seclusion and have reduced activities. Although staying at home every day is comfortable, not all cats can tolerate it. Living in loneliness, some people can't help but want to jump to the window sill and look out at nature. Due to the owner's negligence, the window is not closed tightly, and the cat may fall downstairs. Although cats have a strong ability to survive jumping from a building, this is still a very important thing. Dangerous things, cats falling from heights will basically suffer fractures. What should I do if my cat has a broken leg? The application of orthopedic bandages for cat fractures!

Recently, a pet hospital in Fuzhou received a cat that had fallen and suffered multiple bleeding and fractures. After an hour of rescue, , successfully completed the osteosynthesis surgery. According to the cat owner, Mr. Wang, who is from Fu'an, his cat accidentally fell from the fourth floor. Although a cat's balance ability is very strong, when it falls, it will lose its balance if it encounters an obstacle. We know that fractures require bone repair, and after bone repair, they need to be fixed. We usually use plaster for fixation. However, plaster is not very hygienic and inconvenient for cats. At this time, you might as well try orthopedic casting bandages.

1. Composition of orthopedic cast bandage

A polymer polyurethane product made of highly elastic glass fiber cloth soaked in polymer polyurethane . Animal experiments and acute and chronic toxicology experiments have confirmed that medical polyurethane is non-toxic, non-teratogenic, and has no local irritation reaction.

2. Advantages of orthopedic cast bandages

Small animal orthopedic bandages are high-tech products with good X-linearity, fast hardening, high strength and low weight. It is light, has good ventilation, is not afraid of secondary immersion in water, makes animals comfortable, safe, hygienic, and beautiful.

1. High hardness and light weight: Polyurethane materials are composed of soft segments and hard segments, and the soft segments increase their cohesion and hardness. It has been tested that the hardness of the cured bandage is 20 times that of traditional plaster. This feature ensures reliable and firm fixation after correct reduction. It uses less materials and is light in weight, equivalent to 1/5 of the weight of plaster and 1/3 of the thickness, which can reduce the load on the affected area and reduce the load on functional exercises after fixation, which is beneficial to blood circulation and promotes healing. Secondly, after the plaster is solidified, it still has a certain degree of brittleness. Therefore, if the load is too large, it can cause fracture and lead to redisplacement after the fracture is integrated. The polyurethane material of the orthopedic cast bandage launched by China Pet Doctor Network is composed of soft segments and hard segments. This feature effectively reduces the possibility of re-injury to the affected area due to external forces, thereby effectively ensuring the fixation effect.

2. Porous and good breathability: Orthopedic casting bandage uses high-quality raw yarn and unique mesh weaving technology, which has good breathability, is conducive to skin ventilation, and solves the problem of local tube problems. Skin hot flashes, itching and other problems caused by bandaging.

3. Fast hardening speed: Orthopedic cast bandages have a fast hardening process, which takes 3 to 5 minutes after opening the package.The bell begins to harden and can bear weight in 20 minutes, while the plaster is so stretched that it takes about 24 hours to fully harden and bear weight.

4. Excellent X-ray transmittance: The orthopedic cast bandage has excellent radiolucency and clear X-ray effect, which helps the doctor to understand the healing status of the affected limb at any time during the treatment process. . The transmittance of plaster is relatively poor, and sometimes the healing situation can only be clearly understood after the fixation is removed. This avoids the trouble of having to rebandage a second time when it is found through X-ray examination that the healing standard has not been reached after the plaster is removed.

5. Good waterproofing: After the orthopedic cast bandage is hardened, the surface is smooth, and the water absorption rate is 85% lower than bandages and splints made of gypsum and ordinary glass fiber. Even if the animal is exposed to water It can also effectively ensure that the affected area is dry after leaving the environment.

6. Easy to operate, flexible, and good in plasticity: Orthopedic casting bandages only need to be squeezed 2 to 3 times in normal temperature water before use. If the fixed area has skin trauma or the operation takes a long time, it can be fixed directly without soaking in water first. After fixing, water can be sprayed on the outer layer to speed up the hardening. It has good plasticity, high bending and tensile strength, can be bent at will, and the bandage can be made into a tube shape or a support.

3. The influence of temperature on adjusting the curing time

By adjusting the water temperature, the hardening time can be appropriately adjusted. When the water temperature is increased, the hardening speed will be accelerated. The hardening time becomes shorter; when the water temperature is lowered, the hardening time will be appropriately extended.

4. Advantages of the product in treatment

For doctors, better flexibility is convenient for local shaping and bandaging. For patients, the shrinkage is small after drying, and the uncomfortable symptoms of skin tightness and itching after the plaster dries will not occur.

In addition, after fixing the wound, you need to inject or take anti-inflammatory drugs regularly to avoid the symptoms of cat fever (details) and wound infection and inflammation. You can go to the pharmacy to buy 0.5g of cephalosporin and lidocaine hydrochloride injection (or sterile water for injection, lidocaine injection will be less painful, and sterile water will be more painful), mix it thoroughly and take half the dose for subcutaneous injection into the cat ( Lift the cat's neck skin and inject at the back of the cat's neck, being careful not to pierce the cat's flesh). The effect of injections will be better than that of taking medicine. It is best to inject anti-inflammatory injections once a day.
