VETOFLEX RECOVERY BAND
We recommend using the VETOFLEX RECOVERY BAND as part of a horse's recovery after colic or hernia surgery. This bandage offers several benefits: it protects the wound from environmental dirt and flying insects in the stall, supports the abdominal wall as it heals, and reduces soft tissue swelling around the incision site.
The ergonomic design ensures comfort for horses of various shapes and sizes. The fleece lining along the topline protects against painful pressure sores, while the special woven fabric, made from non-irritating materials, provides strength and support. The band is fully breathable, easy to maintain, and simple to disinfect.
The colic recovery band should be used immediately after colic surgery. In cases where a complication like a hernia occurs after abdominal surgery or stallion castration (which can be prevented by using a colic recovery band), our hernia recovery band includes a pocket for a supportive, breathable foam plate that is included with the band. This plate effectively distributes point pressure from the hernia across the entire area.
We offer both colic and hernia bands in versions suitable for use in the stall or during riding.
Our recovery band is available in three sizes, depending on the horse's belly circumference: COB, FULL, and EXTRA FULL (see size chart below and video instructions for taking measurements).
Custom sizes for ponies, special breeds, or pregnant mares are also available. For more information or to order a custom band, please contact Jen@SavvyHorseProducts.com or call 937-RU-SAVVY (937-787-2889 extension 1000).

How to pick a recovery band?
Please measure your horse according to the videos below because the sizes differ in waist circumference and vest size. Your measurements will determine if your horse needs a COB, FULL or EXTRA FULL.
If necessary, custom sizing is available for an additional charge of 30%.

PROPERTIES
Reconvalescent, or recovery abdominal bands were developed in cooperation with the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Clinic of Horse Diseases in Brno, Czech Republic.
The use of Vetoflex post-operative bands is immensely beneficial for horse's recovery and subsequent return to sport. The bands significantly facilitate patient care by protecting the wound in the challenging barn environment with its omnipresent dust and insects and they strengthen the abdominal wall and prevent the formation of edema of soft tissues around the wound. Recovery bands are comfortable for the horse to wear 24/7 because of their anatomical shape, soft and the materials used are fully breathable. The bands are easily washed in a regular washing machine and even withstand high temperatures and frequent disinfectant use.
Recommendation:
We recommend using the Recovery Band - Stable for 2 to 3 months after the operation; in the case of pregnant mares, we use the band until, during, and after delivery.
Bands are produced in standard sizes EXTRA FULL, FULL, COB, PONY, now also for FOALS with umbilical hernias. Custom sizing is possible for an additional 30%, and is often needed in the case of pregnant mares of different breeds.
Belts are produced in standard sizes EXTRAFULL, FULL, COB, PONY, now also for FOALS with umbilical hernia. There is also the possibility of an individual solution, especially in case of pregnant mares of different breeds.
We offer both bands in stable and riding variant.
When the horse is ready to return to work, we recommend using the Riding Recovery Band.

USAGE
It facilitates work with the horse in the stable after hernia surgery, or with post-operative complications associated with the possibility of a hernia.
In addition, compared to the recovery colic belt, the belt has a so-called pocket for a special breathable foam in the abdominal area, which distributes point pressure and the weight of the growing hernia to the area. It helps to retract and fill the hole for the emerging hernia.
It also has a protective function in the demanding stable environment. It prevents the omnipresent dust and intrusive insects from penetrating the wound.
The compressive function strengthens the abdominal wall and prevents the formation of edema of soft tissues around the wound. The anatomical shape of the bandage represents comfort for the horse when worn 24/7. The bandage is comfortable for the horse, soft and the materials used are fully breathable.
Use is recommended for 2 to 3 months after surgery and you can gradually transition to using a recovery hernia or colic riding belt.
Our offer for stable belt owners: When you buy this belt, you get a 20% discount on a follow-up recovery hernia or colic riding belt, which is allowed to be used at races.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
- Before putting on the belt, unfasten the Velcro and fold the shoulder part of the belt like an accordion.
- Pull the prepared belt over the horse's head and neck.
- Then start adjusting the belt on the shoulders, withers and gradually back down the spine.
- Check that the belt is taut to its maximum length to the hips.
- We recommend 2 people to fasten the belt under the horse's belly, so that the belt does not shift and the position of the belt on the spine is not tilted. Tighten the belt gradually.
- Velcro hooks should never touch the horse's skin.
- Double check the tightness of the safety belt.
