The present invention provides an apparatus (10) and method for deterring an animal from licking, e.g., a wound. In one preferred version, the apparatus (10) includes a laminate body having an inner surface and a outer surface comprising an elongated flexible substrate (50) folded upon itself to define a pocket receptacle. The outer surface has exposed conductive traces (51, 52) positioned therealong. An electrical power source (12), retained within the pocket receptacle in the folded substrate, is electrically coupled to the conductive traces (14, 15). An adhesive (27) is carried by at least a portion of the inner surface of the laminate to facilitate attachment of the substrate to the body of an animal with the conductive traces (14, 15) exposed so that when the conductive traces (14, 15) contact the animal's tongue, the tongue completes an electrical circuit and an electrical impulse is delivered through the tongue.

La présente invention porte sur un dispositif (10) et un procédé destiné à empêcher un animal de lécher sa blessure. Selon une version préférée, l'appareil (10) comprend un corps laminé dont la surface interne et la surface externe sont constituées d'un substrat (50) flexible, allongé, replié de façon à former une poche. Le long de la surface externe sont positionnés des tracés conducteurs (51, 52) dénudés. Une source de courant (12) électrique, retenue dans la poche du substrat replié, est couplée électriquement aux tracés conducteurs (14, 15). Au moins une partie de la surface interne du laminé supporte un adhésif (27) pour permettre la fixation du substrat sur le corps d'un animal, les tracés conducteurs (14, 15) étant dénudés de sorte qu'ils viennent en contact avec la langue de l'animal, le circuit électrique se terminant par la langue qui reçoit une impulsion électrique.
