FAQ

How do you apply Elastikon tape to a horse?
Elastikon is typically applied as the outer layer of a bandage. After placing padding or a primary wrap, the tape is wrapped smoothly around the area with light, even tension. Because it has a strong adhesive backing, it sticks to itself and the bandage beneath it. Avoid pulling it too tightly, and check regularly to ensure the wrap remains comfortable and secure.

Can Elastikon be used directly on a horse’s skin?
Elastikon is sometimes applied directly to the skin as needed, but many horse owners prefer to place it over gauze or padding first. The adhesive backing is designed to grip well, so removing it from sensitive areas may pull hair. Using a protective layer underneath can help make removal easier and improve comfort for the horse.

Can Elastikon be used on hooves or around the coronary band?
Yes. Elastikon is often used around the hoof or coronary band to help secure hoof bandages or protective padding. Its elastic cloth allows it to conform to the shape of the hoof while maintaining a strong hold. When applying in this area, smooth the tape evenly and avoid excessive tension so circulation and normal movement are not restricted.

Stays in Place, Even Overnight

Elastikon is the only tape I trust to stay in place on my horse’s leg wraps. It doesn’t peel off or loosen, even after turnout. Great stretch and grip, very reliable.

Perfect for Difficult Areas

by Neysa -

Needed to wrap a tricky spot on my mare’s hock, this molded perfectly and didn't slip. It stretches just enough to conform but not so much that it loosens over time.
