Zandonà Stable Thermoboot, developed for the application of cold/heat therapy directly on the tendons and joints of the horse.
Made of neoprene with an aluminum thermal coating to further insulate and prolong the cold/hot effect. This boot includes a 3D-Mesh padding that allows an optimal cold / heat transfer and protection from sunburn of the horse's skin.
The excellent closure system ensures perfect adherence to the leg and is equipped with an "easy-pull" tab that allows safe and quick removal of the product.
Regular use of THERMOBOOT for short periods (20-30 minutes) after intense exercise can help prevent minor injuries and / or trauma to ligaments, tendons and joints, as well as reduce swelling, overheating and localized pain.
Warnings: THERMOBOOT can be used indifferently on the front or rear legs. Contains two Gel-Packs (one for each boot). Boots are sold in pairs.
It is recommended to use cold/heat therapy under the advice of your veterinarian.
Do not leave the horse unattended while applying the Thermoboots.
It is important to take a progressive approach to accustom your horse to cold / heat therapy to get the full benefits of the treatment.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
COLD APPLICATION
The purpose of cold therapy is to break the inflammatory response cycle before it causes cell damage. Cold treatment greatly reduces the amount of tissue lost due to secondary injuries.
- Keep the Gel-Packs in the freezer so that they are always ready for use. Freeze the Gel-Packs for at least 2-3 hours before use.
- Insert the Gel-Packs in the special pockets of the THERMOBOOTs. Do not apply directly to the skin.
- Leave the THERMOBOOTs on the horse's leg for up to 20-30 minutes per session. Press firmly to ensure proper application. Check that the Velcro fasteners are tight, not too tight.
- Remove the THERMOBOOTs for 20 minutes and repeat the application of the cold every hour / hour and a half as needed. Consult your veterinarian for more extensive use.
HOT APPLICATION
The purpose of heat therapy is to dilate blood vessels, increasing the flow of blood to the area where the heat is applied. This leads to a greater flow of nutrients and oxygen to the affected area, thus promoting healing.
- Boil about 4-5 liters of water.
- Once it comes to a boil, remove the water from the heat source.
- Immerse the Gel-Packs in boiling water for approximately 10 minutes.
- Remove the Gel-Packs from the water and place them in the special pockets of the THERMOBOOTs. Do not apply directly to the skin.
- Apply to the area to be treated for 20 minute intervals. Press firmly to ensure proper application. Check that the Velcro fasteners are tight, not too tight.
- Do not leave the horse unattended while using the THERMOBOOTs but always supervise him.
Repeat the therapy up to three / four times a day. Consult your veterinarian for more extensive use.
