To use Vetweld, clean and dry the wound site, then attach the applicator to the bottle. Approximate the wound edges and apply a thin, continuous line of adhesive to one edge while holding the edges together. Hold the wound edges for a few seconds until the adhesive fully sets. Avoid internal use, deep wounds, and contact with skin, eyes, and instruments. 

Before Application

• Preparation: Thoroughly clean and dry the wound area. 
• Wound Type: Vetweld is for superficial wounds and small lacerations, not deep or infected wounds. 
• Applicator: Attach the flexible applicator tip to the bottle's spout. 
• Temperature: Ensure the product is at room temperature before use; do not heat it. 

Application Steps

• Approximate Edges: Gently press the edges of the wound together using sterile gloves or forceps. 
• Apply Adhesive: Apply a thin, continuous layer of Vetweld to the surface of one wound edge using the applicator. 
• Hold Edges: Maintain pressure on the wound edges for 5 to 10 seconds to allow the adhesive to polymerize. 
• Hold Position: Continue to hold the edges together until the adhesive sets and forms a waterproof seal. 

Post-Application & Cautions

• Setting Time: The adhesive polymerizes in seconds, but full polymerization may take longer. 
• Avoid Excess: Do not allow Vetweld to drip into a wound cavity. 
• Skin Contact: If skin bonds occur, carefully soak the area in warm water or soapy water to help loosen the adhesive, according to Pets Drug Mart. 
• Storage: After opening, do not return the bottle to the refrigerator; store it upright in a cool, dry place away from heat. 
• Monitoring: Regularly monitor the wound site for any signs of infection or irritation. 
• Consult a Vet: Seek veterinary advice if you have any concerns about the wound or the healing process,
