## Overview

The After Surgery Wear Hip and Thigh Wound Protective Sleeve is a vet-recommended, breathable recovery solution made from 100% organic cotton. Designed as a comfortable, adjustable alternative to traditional E-collars, it protects surgical wounds on dogs’ hips and thighs while promoting healthy healing and reducing bandage changes. Lightweight and stretchable, it supports mobility and fits securely with dual tie closures, making it ideal for post-orthopedic surgery care.

## Description

E-Collar alternative interchangeable for both legs designed for dogs after orthopaedic recoveries, such as patella luxation, TPLO, and cruciate repair. Also helps to protect the area from hot spot irritation. Can be used along with a full bandage to protect it from getting dirty, which means less bandage changing needed, or it could be used instead of the full bandage during the end of the healing process to keep it protected and allow airflow to promote healthy incision healing.

Review: Thankful To Find This Gem! - I love this sleeve. I have found nothing else like it anywhere and I searched everywhere! Our dog had surgery 3 weeks ago and his wound is on his upper thigh. Not one bandage stayed up, not even the vet's. I ordered the sleeve and waited for desertcart to have it back in stock and now ordering my second so I can wash one. We were changing the bandages every day up to four times a day. His staples came out due to too much energy. He's 14, but would not just lie down. Finally after the second surgery, the staples came out again and we decided to do wound care. I am telling you, there is not once that the bandages stayed up until we got this sleeve. I did add an ace bandage around his waist to make sure the ties are attached, but I now know that is not necessary. The string is plenty long enough to reach is collar. I did get a harness, but it's not necessary, yet. The other two ties go around his middle section. I bought a medium and it fits him well. He a 40 pound dog. I am in caretaker heaven right now! I highly recommend this product!
Review: What I wish I knew.... - I bought this for my dog (~40lbs beagle mix) to wear after TPLO surgery instead of the cone. I had looked everywhere for something to cover up the stitches and I narrowed it down to this and one of the full-body suits. I ended up going with this because I figured getting the full suit on would be very difficult. What I wish I had known (or I guess thought about ahead of time) was that when I would bring my dog home from the hospital, her leg would be VERY swollen so while we tried this on ahead of time and it fit perfectly, I couldn't get it on her leg until a few days after surgery. Not the end of the world since for the first two days all she did was sleep but after that it would have been perfect except for the fact that it WOULD NOT STAY ON. Even when it was tied correctly and attached to her collar (or her harness), the second she'd start walking or rolling around in her bed it came down. Bottomline, I love the concept but this just didn't work for us. It would be perfect if it went over both rear legs and tied to her collar but this design just did not work for us and I so wish it had.

## Features

- E-COLLAR ALTERNATIVE - Used by veterinarians for dogs after orthopaedic recoveries to support the bandaging or replace it after the initial phases of healing.
- HIGH QUALITY MEDICAL FABRICS - Made from 100% pure organic cotton making the fabric breathable to promote healthy incision healing, hypoallergenic, and washable.
- SIZING - Please refer to the second image in the listing for our size chart.
- COMFORT and SAFETY - Made from stretchable fabrics which promote mobility and ensure comfort.
- ADJUSTABLE AND SECURE FIT - Secured by adjusting and tying two pairs of strings: the first pair of strings secure around the animal’s neck/collar and the second pair of strings tie around the side of the lower body.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Straps are bad
*by K***E on March 21, 2024*

This works well for covering a total hip replacement surgical site. However, the strings aren't at all elastic, and that's required to move with the dog. I cut them off, and sewed on suspenders to the outside of the sleeve (to reduce friction on the wound). I then clipped the suspenders onto a soft headband around the neck. Elastic is almost required for this, so surprised they aren't. Otherwise it's the right shape for a dog leg.
