A single wrap that can be repositioned to cover the hoof, hock or knee.
Coldone Compression/Cold Wraps Reduce Pain and Swelling More
Effectively Than Any Other Therapeutic Product. They are Reusable and Affordable.
Coldone equine leg wraps combine cold therapy and compression therapy in
a single product to reduce swelling and pain in the hock, knee and hoof areas.
The re-freezable wrap stays ice cold for 15-20 minutes then gradually increases in temperature to protect your horse from over icing which can cause a different type of injury as recommended by Vets and Trainers.
Equine Cold Therapy:
Horse owners and trainers have long known the value of cold therapy. Cold
therapy is especially helpful in reducing inflammation and controlling pain.
In response to injury, tissues release a variety of chemicals and vasoactive
substances (cytokins, prostaglandins, leukotines) that produce a cascade
effect of reactions, ultimately resulting in localized swelling, heat and
pain.
Applying cold therapy to a tissue injury, limits the inflammatory response
by causing the blood vessels to constrict (vasoconstriction). This limits
the blood flow to the injured site, moderating the release of the vasoactive
substances and thus minimizes the pain and swelling in the afflicted area.
Cold Therapy to Relieve Pain:
Applying cold therapy after an acute injury helps to ease pain. Cold slows
the conduction rate of sensory receptors; therefore fewer numbers of pain
messages are received and processed by the brain.
Cold Therapy to Control Swelling:
After a tissue injury, there is an immediate chemical reaction at the cellular
level. This reaction releases prostaglandins and histamines in the injured
area. Damaged capillaries �leak� cellular waste (water, dissolved
electrolytes and proteins) into the surrounding tissue.
The body sends leukocytes or scavenger cells into the area to remove damaged
tissue or to kill bacteria that may be present. Once this process starts,
significant amounts of fluid build in intercellular spaces causing �edema,�
or swelling.
Coldone equine wraps combine stretchable neoprene and a cold inner layer
to drive cold deep and prevent swelling.
All Coldone components are made of the highest quality products and crafted
with superior workmanship. They are quite simply made to last.
