VETOFLEX RECOVERY BAND

We recommend using the VETOFLEX RECOVERY BAND as part of the horse's recovery after colic or hernia surgery. This bandage fulfills several functions - on the one hand, it protects the wound from the dusty environment and flying insects in the box, it also significantly strengthens the abdominal wall and prevents the formation of soft tissue swelling around the wound. It is comfortable for horses, soft, reinforced with non-irritating materials. It is fully breathable, easy to maintain and disinfect.

You can use the colic recovery belt immediately after colic surgery. If a complication in the form of a hernia occurs after a horse's abdominal surgery or after the castration of a stallion (this complication can be prevented precisely by using a colic recovery belt), you can use a hernia recovery belt that has a pocket with a plate made of breathable foam that distributes point pressure of hernia to the whole area.

We offer both belts in a version for box or riding.

We offer the recovery belt in 3 sizes depending on the horse's belly circumference:  COB, FULL, EXTRA FULL.

Individual sizes

For ponies, special breeds or pregnant mares are possible. For more information contact katerina.vasakova@vetoflex.com.
