VETOFLEX Bandage Classic Ice

As far back as ancient Egypt,cold therapywas used to treat pain. In folk medicine, it was also often used to treat local inflammations. Cold significantly reduces the perception of pain, has an anti-inflammatory and anti-edematous effect. It also relieves muscle tension and improves blood circulation in the inflamed part of the body. Together with the compressive effect of the bandage, these beneficial effects are significantly multiplied.

The newly developed compression bandages VETOFLEX® Classic Ice not only significantly help tomaintain the correct flow of lymphand thereforeprevent its stagnation in the distal part of the horse's limbs, but with a significantcooling effectthey reduce the activity of inflammatory processes and bring relief from pain.

It is known from veterinary practice that the beneficial effect of cold in horses is manifested on the internal tissues only after approx. 20 minutes of cooling with a stream of water. The inner part of the Classic Ice bandage is made of a highly elastic and breathable material that was specially developed for human medicine. At the same time, this material protects the skin from burning from the cold.

As well as for Classic bandages, we offer 4 lengths depending on the height of the horse: STANDARD, SHORT, LONG, PONY.

How to pick the right bandage?

The individual types differ from each other in the height of the bandage and the material (the SILVER variants are made of antibacterial fiber with silver). Depending on the height, choose either STANDARD, SHORT, LONG or PONY.

Depending on the circumference of the fetlock, you can choose the appropriate size (S, M, L, XL, XXL) in the chosen type of bandage.

If necessary, an individual solution is possible with an additional charge of 30%.
