Recoverice Equine Wraps are a revolutionary horse bandage utilising cold therapy for preventing & treating horse injury, by dissipating heat from tendons & joints. Cold therapy is most effective during the first 48 hours of an injury or inflammation & if correctly used, can help improve a range of muscle, joint, & soft tissue injuries. The use of cold therapy after a hard workout may also help a horse with chronic conditions, such as weak tendons & ligaments from a past injury. Proven to reduce horse injury recovery time, Recoverice Equine wraps are perfect for stables / yards & shows, a handy size for First Aid kits, easy & safe to apply & requiring no pre-cooling or preparation of any description
- no fuss, no mess! Simply tear open the packet & the Recoverice Equine wrap immediately begins cooling. Cooling has been shown to speed recovery of muscular bruises & strains, limiting swelling by reducing blood flow to the injured area. It also provides short term pain relief. This easy to apply horse bandage has a unique colour coding system that enables you to apply it in such a way that it provides optimum compression for healing. Compression helps limit & reduce swelling (which slows down healing). According to an article published in the, &39 Horse & Hound&39 (March 2009), &39 Cooling compression bandages are useful for horses whose muscles have been exerted through training or exercise, & are especially popular with event riders & driving competitors, in the cross-country & marathon stages respectively. Recoverice Equine wraps can be left in place for extended periods of time. The bandage is designed to get gradually colder for the first 10 minutes, then remain cool for up to two hours. The technique uses evaporation to draw heat out, rather than push cold in, as the bandage wraps around the injured area, allowing penetration from all angles & ensuring no damage to the skin
- unlike ice, ice & gel packs & some sprays. Recoverice wraps have the added bonus of including arnica, a natural remedy that helps to relieve pain, reduce inflammation & speed up healing time. Equine wraps can be used on wind galls
- ideal to use prior to going into the ring, & for capped hocks. They save time (and the possibility of mud fever) compared to cold hosing, allowing you to get on with preparing your horse for a show or mucking out.
