Introduction

StopLik™

Two of the more difficult challenges veterinarians face are to break the injurious habit of the licking that causes lick granuloma and stop companion animals from licking or bothering bandaged surgical sites. In both cases, the pet's strong urge to lick is hard for the veterinarian or pet owner to stop.

StopLik is a unique, immediate, simple, effective and safe means of discouraging a pet from the licking that causes lick granuloma or aggravates a wound, delaying healing. StopLik stops the habitual licking that can cause open sores. It also discourages pets from removing bandages during healing, allowing the open sores to be more successfully treated.

StopLik wraps around a bandaged leg or torso to protect the bandage and wound, and delivers a mild electric stimulus to the tongue when the pet licks it.

Likshield™

Much like humans, when an animal receives surgery, the healing process is an uncomfortable and constraining experience. Animals do not understand the healing process and their typical response to being wrapped in bandages is to tear away at the area to lick their wounds. This of course can prolong the healing process and lead to infection.

Instructions

StopLik™ is designed to be applied over the top of a bandage or directly onto the animal. A cohesive flex wrap type bandage or breathable veterinary tape is recommended.

At application, be sure the StopLik™ device completely covers the bandage to prevent the pet from loosening or removing it.

To activate StopLik™:

Remove brown paper backing from the front of the device on the battery end.

Fold end over, so the B symbol is placed onto the top of the battery. The target holes should line up to each other. Press material firmly onto and around the battery to ensure activation.

For leg applications:

Remove the white backing material from the StopLik.

Apply StopLik™ over the bandage starting with the battery end, wrapping around the bandage and back over itself, just past the battery, allowing a 1-inch overlap. Trim off excess material with scissors so the breathe holes are not sealed off.

For other applications:

For other than leg applications, fold battery end back onto the adhesive on the backside of StopLik™. Now StopLik™ is ready to be applied to the bandage area.

StopLik™ can be trimmed to length from the opposite end of the batteries.

StopLik™ can be applied to discourage pets from removing IVs, urinary catheters, Seton drains or pulling at bandaged abdominal surgical sites.
