Adjust the size of the spray cone to suit your requirements. The conical spray pattern should be wide enough to cover the whole wound and the area immediately surrounding the wound. The spray cone is able to be adjusted by twisting the spray nozzle either clockwise (wider cone) or counterclockwise (narrower cone).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eApplication:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor best results apply the product immediately after completing the surgical procedure. The shorter the time between the wound being created and the product being applied the better the level of relief experienced by the animal. When using a surgical procedure that results in significant bleeding, the sooner the application of the product the greater the effectiveness of the reduced bleeding aspects of the product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDosage Chart:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0715\/3837\/6841\/files\/gro_blood-less_chart.png?v=1777236608\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDehorning and Disbudding Wounds:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDehorn or disbud the horn as normal using either surgical technique or hot iron. Apply the correct dose by spraying the prescribed number of trigger squeezes to each horn wound. The dose rate has been calculated to ensure that the whole area of the wound is able to be effectively covered by the product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHold the applicator nozzle close enough to the wounds to ensure that the product covers the entire wound and the surrounding area. This will ensure that all exposed blood vessels are treated, and maximum protection is achieved. Ensure that the entire wound is covered and that most of the product is in the area of the wounds. Do not touch the wound with the applicator or your hands during the application process. This is an oil-based formulation and should be expected to migrate to some degree around the treated area, hence helping with coverage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCastration Wounds:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFully castrate the animal as usual. Immediately after the second testicle has been removed, apply the prescribed number of squeezes of the application trigger directly to the wounds at the bottom of the scrotum. Hold the applicator nozzle close enough to the incision wounds to ensure that the product impacts the wound area with some force. This will help for some of the product to enter the scrotum and treating the severed blood vessels. Ensure that the entire wound is covered and that most of the product is in the area of the wounds. Do not touch the wound with the applicator or your hands during the application process. This is an oil-based formulation and should be expected to migrate to some degree around the treated area, hence helping with coverage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eStorage and Shelf Life:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStore any unused product in a cool, dark, dry location in its original container, away from direct sunlight. Do not refrigerate the product during storage. Wherever possible avoid removing the spray nozzle from the bottle as this may allow the introduction of contaminants which in turn could lead to wound infections after application of the product. Be very careful not to introduce any water to the container as this may cause the product to become rancid and ineffective. For best results, do not decant the product from its original container as this may lead to the introduction of contaminants. If transferring a spray nozzle from one container to another, be very careful not to contaminate the new container with any foreign material or substances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe product is manufactured with a shelf life of 24 months from the date of manufacture.
