EquiFit’s Cold Compression Therapy Products
1. GelCompression TendonBoots™: These boots provide both cold and heat therapy combined with compression, eliminating the need for machines, cables, or wires. They are designed to reduce inflammation, control swelling, and decrease the risk of injury. The GelPaks adhere to an outer shell that provides air compression via a hand pump, retaining intense cold or heat while conforming and remaining pliable out of the freezer.
2. IceAir™ Cold Therapy Boot: Ideal for rehabilitation and pre or post-exercise treatment, the IceAir Cold Therapy Boot combines cold therapy and air compression for optimal, even coverage. It requires only well-crushed ice and features adjustable air compression with a hand pump, providing extended coverage from the knee to the ankle.
3. GelCompression Hock Boots: These boots offer a convenient way to provide cold or heat and compression therapy to the often challenging area around the hock. They are designed to support any horse with stiffness, soreness, or swelling without using machines, cables, or wires. The GelPak core adheres to the outer shell and retains intense heat or cold, staying pliable even out of the freezer to conform to the leg.
4. Essential® Cold Therapy Tendon Boot: This boot provides a solution for delivering cold therapy down to the ankle in one easy application. It helps keep injuries at bay and provides much-needed support to hardworking horses or those with any stiffness, soreness, or swelling. The anatomical design extends cooling benefits to the ankle, and insulating foam rubber keeps the gel cold.
Incorporating EquiFit’s cold compression therapy products into your horse’s care routine can aid in maintaining their health and performance.
