Overview “E” Tube protective collar.Designed to be a sensible solution to everyday patient management of an esophagostomy tube (e-tube) in the cat and dog. The adjustable collar fits securely around the animal's neck, with a hole for the tube and a Velcro™ strap to secure it when it's not in use. Circular cotton pads are supplied to place between the collar and the skin, protecting the wound to absorb drainage from below and protect from contaminants from above. It eliminates the need for owners to attempt to learn bandaging techniques.

  • Machine washable collars provide superior cleanliness of site
  • Ease of application and removal
  • Lowered risk of tube removal by animal

  • Aesthetically pleasing for “squeamish” clients
  • Send home a more professional and compassionate presentation
  • Each collar is packaged in a plastic bag with laminated information card, and comes with 6 protector pads ( a one-to- two week supply)
