Pro-Kold leg
wraps for horses solve age-old problems of treating leg injuries. Prior
to the introduction of Pro-Kold Reusable
wraps, the only way to provide cold therapy was "hosing",
buckets of ice, or a myriad of ways trainers and owners developed to
reduce swelling and inflammation in horses legs.
|
|
|
|
The four Pro-Kold Equine wraps allow
cold treatment to be delivered to any leg position without exposing the
hoof to water. When frozen, the pillows of purified water melt in place,
thereby providing uniform cold therapy up to two hours without trainer
or owner involvement. |
|
Pro-Kold inserts are frozen
separately and placed in the pockets which can be refrozen and used
again and again. Each wrap has three elastic straps to provide
compression and to keep the wrap in place.
|
|
|
Magnet
inserts are also available which fit into the wrap
pockets when magnetic therapy is appropriate. |
|
Major Features:
- Allows ice treatment - without exposing hoof to
water. Encapsulated, re-freezable water solution eliminates
cracked hooves and fungus infections resulting from prolonged water
contact; also reduces stall and stable cleanup normally resulting
from ice and water.
- Multiple uses - simple design fits any leg
position.
- Convenient - Unit construction with straps
attached makes installation simple and reduces labor requirements
usually involved with ice or cold water therapy.
- Affordable - Wraps can be purchased
individually.
- Durable - Nylon casing and industrial grade
polymers ensure long life with repeated usage - wrap can be hosed
off or washed and air dried.
- Provides Mobility - Panel design allows horse
to be mobile while receiving ice treatment. Ice treatment can
be administered for up to 2 hours with out personnel standing by.
- Delivers Uniform Cold - Ice Pillows stay in
place while thawing instead of slipping to bottom of the wrap as
crushed ice does.
- Inserts can be removed and frozen separately.

Thermography Case Studies
by David Clark DVM:
Thermography uses new
advanced infrared technology to detect heat and
inflammation. It is an excellent tool for those tough
lameness's and soft tissue injuries. We have been using
thermography since 1988. At times we may cool the horse or
an area with a cold water bath / hose then watch for heat to
radiate out from deeper structures.
We watch for symmetry comparing side to side
right leg to left leg etc. We consider greater than 2° F
difference as usually significant. It is important to know
anatomy and circulation patterns for areas.
At times, areas such as tendons
may begin showing heat or inflammation up to 2 weeks prior to
developing a lameness. With thermography, changes in
circulation may be noted even before lesions can be confirmed by
ultrasound. |

Here are images
of a 5 year old chariot horse with a mild sprain of his right
front suspensory before, during and after treatment with a Pro-Kold
Ice Wrap. |
 |
 |
 |
|
These are images
of a mare that ran something into the bone just above the joint
in the hock. We removed a piece of infected bone that was a
sequestrum and wouldn't allow the draining tract to seal. |
 |
 |
|
As you can see by
all the heat this was an angry inflamed wound
and the ice boot worked great, didn't slip |
|
|
|
|
After treatment |
|
|
|
|
Here is a horse
that ran into a steel post and fractured a rib. The area that
shows up square is clipped for ultrasound, and then surgery. A
sliver of bone was removed that had fractured away. |
 |
 |
 |
|
Some of the
images, just to look at them don't at first look that
impressive, but once you look at the temperatures statistically
there is a difference for over an hour. |
 |
 |
 |
|
Before we started
there was a 10 degrees difference, right when we removed the ice
wrap the difference was 3 degrees, after 20 minutes 5 degrees,
after 1 hour 8 degrees. |
