Water-Resistant Aerosol Wound Barrier for Small and Large Animals
Product Description
Aspen Alu-Mend Spray Bandage is a water-resistant aerosol spray bandage designed for use as a topical wound barrier in small and large animals, including dogs, cats, horses, cattle, goats, sheep, and swine. Its aluminum powder formula sprays on as a liquid and dries quickly to form a breathable, protective film that shields wounds from dirt, debris, bacteria, and insects, while allowing oxygen in to support natural healing.
Benefits
- Water-Resistant Protection: Forms a durable, water-resistant barrier that maintains wound protection even in wet, muddy, or humid outdoor environments.
- Breathable Wound Film: Allows wounds to breathe, aiding in the healing process by letting oxygen circulate through the protective aluminum film.
- Ideal for Hard-to-Bandage Areas: Convenient aerosol spray application with excellent adhesion properties, making it suitable for joints, legs, and other areas difficult to wrap traditionally.
- No-Touch Application: Reduces animal stress by eliminating the need for direct wound handling; the spray delivers even coverage without physical contact.
- Antibiotic-Free Formula: Contains no antibiotics and can be removed simply and easily with soap and water when no longer needed.
Ingredients
Active Ingredients: Aluminum Powder 40 mg/g.
Inactive Ingredients: Propane, Isobutane, Butane.
How to Use
Directions for Use
- Shake Well: Shake the can thoroughly before each use to ensure the aluminum powder is evenly distributed throughout the formula.
- Clean the Wound: Thoroughly clean the area to be treated to remove any dirt, debris, or contaminants before applying the spray.
- Spray a Thin Layer: Cover the area to be protected by spraying a thin, even layer of Alu-Mend.
- Allow to Dry: Allow the spray to dry naturally; it dries quickly to form a flexible, breathable, water-resistant film over the wound.
- Reapply as Needed: Reapply as needed after wound inspection or when the protective layer begins to wear off, or as directed by a veterinarian.
Additional Information
Precautions
- Avoid Eye Contact: Avoid spraying in the animal's eyes.
- Product Stains: This product stains; avoid contact with hands and clothes during application.
- Flammable Contents: Contents may catch fire. Do not smoke, do not puncture, and do not burn. Keep away from flames such as pilot lights and any object that sparks, such as an electric motor.
- Use in Ventilated Areas: Use only in a well-ventilated area to avoid inhalation of aerosol propellants during application.
- Do Not Use on Deep Wounds: Should not be used on deep or puncture wounds and wounds that need to drain. Consult a veterinarian for treatment of severe or infected injuries.
- Storage: Store away from heat and open flame. Do not store at temperatures above 122°F (50°C).
Possible Side Effects
- Staining: The aluminum powder formula can leave a visible metallic stain on skin, fur, clothing, and surrounding surfaces; take care during application.
- Eye Irritation: Accidental spray into the eyes may cause irritation; rinse thoroughly with clean water if contact occurs and consult a veterinarian if irritation persists.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What animals can the Aspen Alu-Mend Spray Bandage be used on?
Ans: According to the manufacturer it is recommended for use in dogs, cats, horses, beef cattle, dairy cattle, goats, sheep, and swine. It is suitable for use as a topical wound barrier in both small and large animals.
Q2: How does the aluminum powder in the spray protect wounds?
Ans: Aluminum powder at 40 mg/g acts as the active ingredient, forming a flexible metallic film over the wound when sprayed. This film creates a physical barrier against dirt, bacteria, and external irritants while remaining breathable, allowing healing oxygen to reach the wound.
Q3: Is the spray safe to use on wounds that are actively bleeding?
Ans: The spray is intended for minor wounds, cuts, abrasions, and scrapes. It should not be used on deep, puncture, or heavily bleeding wounds that need to drain. Consult a licensed veterinarian for treatment of more severe or actively bleeding injuries.
Q4: How do you remove the spray bandage once applied?
Ans: According to the manufacturer, Alu-Mend can be removed with soap and water. No harsh solvents or scraping are required, making removal straightforward and minimally stressful for the animal.
Q5: Why is this spray particularly useful for horses and livestock?
Ans: The aerosol spray format allows it to be applied quickly to hard-to-bandage areas such as joints, lower legs, and shoulder sores in sows, where traditional bandaging is not practical. Its water resistance also makes it effective for outdoor animals exposed to mud and moisture.
Q6: Can the spray be used in wet or humid conditions?
Ans: Yes. The water-resistant formula maintains its protective barrier even in wet or humid environments, making it a practical wound care solution for animals kept outdoors or in damp conditions where traditional bandages would not stay in place.
Q7: Does the spray contain any antibiotics?
Ans: No. According to the manufacturer, the spray is completely antibiotic-free. It works purely as a physical barrier to protect wounds from external irritants and does not deliver any antibiotic treatment to the wound site.
Q8: How should the spray can be stored safely?
Ans: Store the can away from heat and open flame. Do not store at temperatures above 122°F (50°C). The container is pressurized and flammable; never puncture, burn, or expose it to sparks or open flames, and always keep it out of reach of children.
Q9: Can this spray be used near open flames or in enclosed spaces?
Ans: No. The manufacturer's label states that contents may catch fire and the container may explode in heat. The spray must only be used in well-ventilated areas, away from flames, pilot lights, electric motors, or any source of sparks, and smoking must be avoided during application.
Q10: How often should the spray bandage be reapplied?
Ans: Reapply as needed after inspecting the wound or when the protective layer begins to wear off. Frequency may vary depending on the animal's activity level, environment, and wound condition. Always follow the label directions or consult a veterinarian for guidance on ongoing wound management.

Our order cut-off time is 6:00 PM Pacific Time (PT). Orders placed after the cut-off time, on weekends, or on applicable holidays begin processing on the next business day.
