Abstract:

A wash aid for washing and drying long bandages and wrapping materials, such as those used to wrap the legs of horses, made out of a mesh material having openings sized to allow water or warm air to flow through the wash aid and retain the bandages and wraps therein. The wash aid is configured into multiple compartments by one or more dividers disposed between the sides of the wash aid. An opening on the front of the wash aid allows access into the cavity within the compartments. Alternatively, each compartment has its own opening. One or more closure mechanisms close the opening or openings to retain the bandages inside the wash aid during the washing and drying so as to reduce the likelihood of the bandages tangling or being damaged by contact with each other or the washing/drying machines.
