Animal welfare is important for your livestock and for you.

What is Tri-Solfen

Tri-Solfen is a viscous liquid that is easily applied to surgical wounds using the dedicated Tri-Solfen applicator. Tri-Solfen’s novel formulation contains a unique combination of 4 ingredients:

  • Lignocaine and Bupivacaine – local anaesthetics that provide pain-relief on surgical wounds.
  • Adrenaline – to reduce bleeding.
  • Cetrimide – an antiseptic agent to help reduce the risk of infection.

Why use Tri-Solfen

Tri-Solfen fits perfectly with your goal to provide a high standard of care for your livestock. It also fits with the industry’s objective to meet consumer expectations that livestock production must include a high level of consideration for animal welfare.

How to use Tri-Solfen

When applied correctly with the dedicated Tri-Solfen applicator it forms a foaming gel over the wound that helps to protect the wound from secondary infection and aids in the wound healing process.

When to use Tri-Solfen

Tri-Solfen addresses a wide range of important welfare considerations that are of significance to all producers. Applying Tri-Solfen effectively manages pain during routine animal husbandry procedures and also aids in wound care and animal recovery.
