THERMOBOOT is a special resting horse boot from the Zandonà Terapeutic line.
Designed specifically for convenient application of cold and hot therapy directly to horse tendons and joints.
If you use THERMOBOOT regularly for a short period of time (20-30 minutes) after intense exercise,
Prevent minor injuries and/or trauma to ligaments, tendons and joints,
It can help reduce local swelling, fever, and pain.
Made of neoprene coated with inner aluminum heat.
It insulates and extends the cold/hot effect better.
It also includes a 3D mesh lining that prevents horse skin from burning.
Allow optimum cold/heat transfer.
THERMBOOT's unique shape ensures stability and comfort during use.
Developed to ensure optimal contact with tendons and joints.
A powerful locking system ensures perfect adhesion to the legs.
Easy-pull flaps help and speed up boots safely.
THERMBOOT can be worn on both the front and back legs.
It contains two special gel packs (one per boot).
[Cold bag]
Cold packs can be used as a routine treatment for horses.
During intense exercise, minor trauma to capillaries, tendons, and ligaments can occur.
Subsequent congestion may persist as an inflammatory effect.
Cold pack therapy causes vasoconstriction,
It reduces protease activity.
It reduces the inflow of inflammatory mediators and toxins.
It provides pain relief to restore circulation after exercise.
The sooner you lower the temperature of your tendon after exercising, the better.
THERMOBOOT also includes horse hematomas, sprains, injuries, tension, ligaments, and
It can help cure tendon damage.
Severe injuries with over-extension in the herd require ice treatment.
THERMBOOT can be used for 20-30 minutes sessions at least 4 times a day.
Continuous use of cold pack therapy with controlled exercise programs
It is essential for recovery and accelerates the rehabilitation process.
The early stages of injury are very important, so the sooner you apply ice therapy, the better.
Note: Always use cold pack therapy with veterinary advice.
If more serious symptoms persist, consult your veterinarian immediately.
[Heat therapy]
Thermo-therapy supports blood flow in certain body parts.
Remove residual inflammation.
It promotes nutrient flow and is ideal for healing.
Fever can also be useful for horses suffering from pre-exercise and arthritis.
Applying heat can increase the elasticity, flexibility, and flexibility of the soft tissues during exercise.
Fever also acts as a temporary painkiller, reducing pain.
Heat should be gradually introduced in the horse's recovery process after injury.
If you apply heat too quickly, it can cause bleeding.
If you have swelling problems, warm up only for 24 hours after no increase in swelling was observed.
By alternating between hot and cold compress therapy, gradually increasing the time to use the hot compress.
By reducing the amount of cold pack therapy used per session, you can switch to hot pack use alone.
※Important notice:
To get all the benefits of treatment,
to introduce a horse to a cold/hot pack
It is important to take a gradual approach.
Tendon injuries are caused by cold compressing in the early stages (24 to 48 hours after the initial injury).
It can help reduce inflammation.
After 48 hours, use a thermotherapy treatment in the area.
It can increase blood flow and help with the healing process.
If a tendon injury is suspected, a tendon injury,
Always consult your veterinarian before using cold/hot therapy.
※Instructions for use:
[Cold application]
The purpose of using cold therapy is to break the cycle of the inflammatory response before causing cell damage.
Cold packs significantly reduce the amount of tissue lost to secondary damage.
1. Keep the gel pack in the freezer for cold use at all times.
Refrigerate the gel pack for at least 2-3 hours before use.
2. Insert the gel pack into the specific pocket of THERMOBOOT.
(Do not use it directly on the skin.)
3. Keep the horse leg for up to 30 minutes per session. Press firmly for proper application.
Make sure the straps are tightly closed, but not too tight.
4. Remove for 20 min and repeat cold application every 1 to 1.5 h as required.
Consult your veterinarian for long-term use.
[Hot application]
The purpose of using thermotherapy is to dilate blood vessels.
It increases blood flow to the treatment area.
This delivers more oxygen and nutrients to the area, which promotes healing.
These treatments also relax the muscles for better performance and
It can help increase the elasticity of connective tissue in certain areas.
- a hot water system
1. Boil water for 4 to 5 liters.
2. Remove water from the heat source.
3. Soak the gel pack in hot water for about 10 minutes.
4. Remove the gel pack from the water and insert it into a specific pocket in THERMBOOT. Do not use it directly on the skin.
5. Apply to the injured area every 20 minutes. Press firmly for proper application.
Make sure the straps are tightly closed, but not too tight.
6. Do not leave horses unattended when using THERMOBOOT.
7. Repeat treatment up to three to four times a day. Consult your veterinarian for long-term use.
※ Warning:
Intense heat or cold can cause damage and discomfort.
If the horse reacts negatively, it can also cause injuries in the process.
Also, if you use hot and cold gel packs for a long time,
It can potentially damage the skin and its basic structure.
Treatment initiation should be done gradually to minimize pain as much as possible.
Cold packs should be carried out at intervals of at least 20 minutes.
The movement of the cold gel pack is essential.
It is recommended that cold gel packs be moved regularly to prevent damage to the lower tissues.
The horse should not be left unattended at any point during the poultice.
In the case of thermal therapy, it is recommended to apply a warm compress so that it does not exceed 20 minutes per interval.
Make sure to check the temperature of the heat source that touches the skin before use to make sure it is not too strong.
Don't forget to use a rug to keep your horse warm after body temperature treatment so that it doesn't cool down too quickly.
Especially for wound healing, it is always recommended to consult a veterinarian before applying temperature therapy.
