Veterinary stockinette is the soft tubular knit that goes on first when a vet casts, splints or bandages an animal's limb. It is the same product used in human orthopedics. Tahir Collection manufactures it in cotton, synthetic (nylon and perlon) and fiberglass-compatible grades, in inch or centimetre widths, and supplies veterinary distributors, casting-kit makers and animal hospitals from its factory in Faisalabad, Pakistan.
Cotton
Soft, absorbent first layer for most veterinary casts, splints and bandages.
Synthetic
Nylon or perlon when the cast may get damp or needs to dry faster.
Fiberglass-compatible
Smooth-finish grade under fiberglass casting tape, 2–20 inches wide.
Stockinette goes on first, under the padding and the cast.
