Application: What, Why, and How (Carpus Support)
- What: Provides support and stability for the carpus (knee), reduces swelling, and helps prevent overextension and arthritis
- Why: Safer and more effective than stall rest, speeds recovery, reduces need for pain medication, and improves comfort
- How: Use EquiTecs 4-way stretch tape (2", 25–30% stretch; up to 50% for more restriction). For greater restriction, layer 3" tape over 2" (if vet requests motion reduction). Tape with carpus bent if overextension has occurred. Add 2-way tape (2", 10% stretch) over support tape for swelling. Leave on as long as needed; reapply weekly for cleaning and tape recoil
Unique Clinical Notes
- Overextension is the most common carpal injury; tape with carpus bent
- Carpus is a simple hinge joint—should not flex medially/laterally
- Support taping naturally draws inflammation out; add circulation taping if fluid pools
- Post-surgical taping reduces swelling and pain, speeds recovery
- Always tape around (not over) sutures/staples
