Impervious Stockinette
Impervious stockinette is used in both large and small animal surgery. In small animal hanging leg type surgeries, impervious stockinette is useful for maintaining the sterile field. Unlike porous Vetrap™ type materials generally used in this procedure, sterile impervious stockinette protects against contamination and allows handling of the leg for positioning. A study published in Veterinary Surgery found that even a combination of Vetrap and Coban™ were not an effective barrier to prevent strikethrough.1
