Abstract: |
A pair of sheets are cut so that each is wider at one end and narrower at the other end, and are united along one longitudinal edge and at the wider end and at a portion along the other longitudinal edge, so that the wider end forms a bag and the free portions of the sheets can be wrapped around the animal in selective overlapping relation according to the size of the animal, forming a neck band near the head of the animal and a tight confining wrapping around the body of the animal; bristle type adhesive means are provided adjacent the free edge of one of the sheets, and the surface of the other sheet is adapted to coact with the bristle adhesive slip of the Velcro type, so that it firmly holds the sheets at any selected overlapping attitude; a plurality of strips are provided to strap around the wrapped restraint whereby the wrapping may be unwrapped and opened at any selected body area, without releasing the overall restraints; at spaced locations flap covered openings are provided for access to the body of the animal for treatment.
