Yellow Lotion has a
sedative effect on the exposed nerve ends. When applied to the wound, the
sensation is a cooling and soothing one; it does not sting. The antibacterial
qualities of Yellow Lotion control low-grade infection, while its
astringent action causes contraction of the blood vessels, stops
discharge, and controls excessive granulation (proud flesh)
A tried and
proven treatment. (Click here for pictures showing
the way Yellow Lotion works)
Ranvet's Yellow Lotion promotes a dry surface, resistant to infection,
without forming an undesirable hard crust on the wound. It is a tried,
proven and humane treatment for severe wounds and abrasions, granulating
wounds, girth galls, rope burns, foot abscesses, inflamed bruises and
sprains.
How to apply
Yellow Lotion for the best results.
For healing effect
to be continuous, and therefore quickest, it is preferable that Yellow
Lotion be applied to the wound soaked in a pad of cotton wool and held in
place by a bandage. A fresh dressing should be applied twice a day.
Before applying the
Yellow Lotion soaked pad, first hose away any dirt or debris from the
wound. After this initial clean out, do not continue to hose the wound, as
this will wash away nature's healing lymph.
Less severe wounds
and those in areas that are difficult to bandage should be dabbed
liberally and frequently each day.
If treating older
wounds where granulation tissue is extreme and bulging, first use a
combination of Copper Sulphate (bluestone) dissolved in Yellow Lotion at
rate 30g per litre. When the bulge has been reduced to skin level,
continue treatment using only the Yellow Lotion.
In all cases where a
horse has sustained a severe wound a booster injection of tetanus toxoid
is warranted.
Treating sprained
and bruised tendons.
Yellow Lotion's soothing, astringent action is most beneficial in the
treatment of sprains and bruises, especially to the tendons.
Yellow Lotion is a first aid dressing for burns.
Yellow Lotion provides an effective emergency first aid treatment for
burns. To reduce skins temperature and pain, the burn should be
immediately flooded with cold, running water. Next apply a dressing soaked
in Yellow Lotion. Apart from providing additional pain relief, it will
also reduce tissue fluid loss and help prevent any possibility of
infection to which burns are extremely prone.
Rope burns are
frequently suffered by unbroken or frightened horses and Ranvet's Yellow
Lotion provides soothing relief from these painful injuries.
Unfortunately, flesh wounds are a fact of
life around horses so you would be well advised to always have a bottle of
Yellow Lotion on hand providing you with the ability to give on-the-spot treatment to an
injured horse. It cleanses, it soothes and, above all, it heals!
Whereas creams tend
to attract dust and dirt, thereby potentiating infection, they also stop
air reaching the wound. Yellow Lotion allows the wound to breathe, and all
wounds heal faster in the presence of oxygen.
The active
constituents in Ranvet's Yellow Lotion are Acriflavine 0.9g/L, Zinc
Sulphate 50.5g/L and Lead Acetate 50.5g/L.
Directions for
use: Shake
bottle well. Soak a pad of cotton wool in Yellow Lotion and bandage onto
affected area. Apply a fresh dressing daily until wound heals. Areas
difficult to bandage should be dabbed liberally and frequently each day.
Use protective gloves.
