NT Labs Propolis Wound Seal
NT Labs Propolis Wound Seal

NT Labs Propolis Wound Seal

Treats: Ulcers, open wounds, damaged fins, and Hikui.

When to use? Use Propolis Wound Seal to seal ulcers, damaged fins, open wounds, and Hikui on your fish. It is recommended to clean these areas with Ulcer Swab antiseptic wound cleaner before applying Propolis. The waxy seal formed by Propolis upon contact with water helps prevent pathogens or debris from entering an open wound.

How to use:

  1. Remove your fish from the pond. Optionally, sedate fish with Koi Calm before treatment.
  2. Carefully clean the affected area with Ulcer Swab, ensuring thorough drying of the wound.
  3. Spread Propolis evenly onto the wound and slowly lower the fish back into the water. As the Propolis makes contact with the water, a waxy seal will form.

Always ensure that you have the necessary equipment ready before catching the injured fish, including a container large enough to hold the fish during treatment. Follow the instructions provided for the best results.
