My daughter used them when her horse was involved in a RTA. He went down on his knees on the road and ended up with big holes in both knees (amongst other things). The vet used them 1) to help keep the dressings in place as knees are notoriously hard to keep a bandage on and 2) to help keep proud flesh to a minimum. They did tend to slip down a bit and because they were on his knees, he developed a sore behind the knee because of the pressure. It also took two of us to put the things on!

He did manage to keep the bandages in place most of the time, and I am pleased to say he has no proud flesh on either of his knees.

I used to work for a rehab centre that used them - they worked well, but are really tight so need superhuman finger strength to fit them.
Say goodbye to your fingernails, too.

I had them for a capped hock, very effective and a useful bit of kit to have in your 1st aid kit.
