Hikari Bio Bandage Powder-Based (PRODUCT DISCONTINUED)

Bio-Bandage is the first in a line of revolutionary treatments to help your pond, freshwater or marine fishes recover from injuries or disease conditions without negatively impacting their health or environment. 
• Includes a proprietary matrix formulation that includes antibiotic and vitamin components that can be applied directly to wounds or lesions on the body & fins while providing rapid results. More effective & convenient than bath or dip treatments. 
• A good alternative to Methylene Blue swabs. More effective & convenient than bath or dip treatments.
• Can be used to treat external, neomycin-susceptible, bacterial diseases.

• Ingredients: Neomycin sulfate, methylene blue, cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12), binder and adhesion agents in an isotonic, aqueous solution.

USE: Working carefully and as quick as possible since fish can suffocate in short order from being out of the water;
First clean the wound with a clean cotton-tip swab, cotton ball, or tissue/paper toweling wrapped around a finger; partially dry the wound taking care to not damage adjacent healthy skin or scales on the fish. Next apply enough powder to the cleaned and dried area to completely cover the wound and some of the surrounding tissue. Gently return the treated fish to the water. Allow the fish to rest with little movement to assure that the mass of the gel stays in contact with the wound for as long as possible. Apply at least every 24 hours as necessary.

****The gel-based bio-bandage has been discontinued from the manufacturer because the powder form has been tested to be much more effective.
