Abstract
A device for application on an animal for deterring the animal from wound licking is provided. The device includes a flexible first layer of material and a deterrent composition in contact with the flexible first layer of material. A layer of adhesive is connected with the flexible first layer of material, and a second layer of material is connected with the layer of adhesive opposite the flexible first layer of material. A method for deterring an animal from licking a wound is also provided.
Claims17
A device for application on an animal for deterring the animal from wound licking, the device comprising:
- a flexible first layer of material comprising a solids-permeable membrane;
- a layer of adhesive connected with the flexible first layer of material;
- a second layer of material connected with the layer of adhesive opposite the flexible first layer of material;
- and
- at least one deterrent composition in contact with the solids-permeable membrane comprising particulate solids which are positioned between the solids-permeable membrane and the second layer of material, wherein at least a portion of the particulate solids are sized to pass through the solids-permeable membrane, and wherein the particulate solids comprise dried cayenne pepper, dried oregano, and dried lemon.
A device for application on an animal for deterring the animal from wound licking, the device comprising:
- a flexible first layer of material comprising a solids-permeable membrane comprising at least one of a synthetic and natural open weave fabric;
- a layer of adhesive connected with the flexible first layer of material;
- a second layer of material connected with the layer of adhesive opposite the flexible first layer of material;
- and
- at least one deterrent composition in contact with the solids-permeable membrane comprising particulate solids which are positioned between the solids-permeable membrane and the second layer of material, wherein at least a portion of the particulate solids are sized to pass through the solids-permeable membrane.
A device for application on an animal for deterring the animal from wound licking, the device comprising:
- a flexible first layer of material comprising a solids-permeable membrane;
- a layer of adhesive connected with the flexible first layer of material;
- a second layer of material removably connected to the layer of adhesive opposite the flexible first layer of material for exposing the layer of adhesive, whereby the device may be adhered to a surface using the layer of adhesive;
- at least one deterrent composition in contact with the solids-permeable membrane comprising particulate solids which are positioned between the solids-permeable membrane and the second layer of material, wherein at least a portion of the particulate solids are sized to pass through the solids-permeable membrane;
- and
- a substantially impermeable third layer of material between the first layer of material and the second layer of material connected to the layer of adhesive on a first side and connected to the first layer of material on a second side opposite the first side.
A method for deterring an animal from licking a wound, the method comprising:
- providing a device comprising a flexible solids-permeable first layer of material, at least one deterrent composition comprising odor causing particulate solids in contact with the flexible solids-permeable first layer of material, an adhesive connected with the flexible solids-permeable first layer of material, and a second layer of material connected with the adhesive opposite the flexible solids-permeable first layer of material;
- removing the second layer of material to expose the adhesive;
- attaching the device to an animal using the adhesive;
- and
- permitting the animal to inhale the particulate solids and odors thereof through the flexible solids-permeable first layer of material.
A method for deterring an animal from licking a wound, the method comprising:
- providing a device comprising a flexible solids-permeable membrane and at least one deterrent composition which comprises particulate solids covered by and in contact with the flexible solids-permeable membrane, wherein at least a portion of the particulate solids are sized to pass through the solids-permeable membrane;
- adhering the device to an animal using an adhesive.
