In May, my mare ZPIKEY suffered from phlegmon on her rear leg from the small watery sores that often appear with the arrival of heat. Despite the treatment, an infection got into the leg. Nothing unusual for horses... after 14 days of antibiotics the leg kept swelling while standing in the box. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Kateřina Vašáková for the advice and delivery of the VETOFLEX compression bandages.

Within 3 days, the swelling had reduced to such an extent that I could return the borrowed XL bandage and start using the L size. The bandages really have a positive effect on lymphatic swelling. We can "jump over puddles" again ... I highly recommend and thank you very much!❤

The established cooperation with the company VETOFLEX exceeded our expectations and the result was the creation of 2 types of abdominal bandages. We use the first type at the Horse Disease Clinic during recovery from general anesthesia, when the bandage mainly has a barrier function and prevents contamination of the sterile covering of the laparotomy wound. The second type of bandage is designed to be more favorable and comfortable for horses and nursing staff due to long-term use during recovery. This bandage has several functions: barrier (protects the wound from dusty environment, bedding and insects), compressive (strengthens the abdominal wall and prevents the formation of soft tissue edema around the laparotomy wound). Due to the sophisticated shape, the abdominal bandage is comfortable for horses, soft and reinforced materials do not traumatize the skin. The modern materials used ensure breathability. The bandage is easy to maintain, disinfect and clean. High temperatures and disinfectants do not have a negative effect on materials even with frequent treatment. Commercially available postoperative bandages had unsuitable material for our clinic, on which the threshold, bedding and fur were caught. They were difficult to disinfect and washing at high temperatures was not possible. However, VETOFLEX met our needs and supplied us with bandages that are resistant to the demanding conditions created by the needs of post-laparotomy horses and the equine clinic environment.

Bandages were recommended to me by Dr. Vítek for my gelding after a racing career, who used to have long-term swelling of his rear legs. The swellings always appeared mainly in the morning, when they were very visible from the hoof to almost the hock joint. The swelling reduced only after work. Mr. Vítek gave me Vetoflex bandages to try.

Immediately after the first use, in the morning the horse had legs like a foal, they do not get so nice even after work. No swelling, nothing. The owner of the stable says that if he does nothing during the day and stands in the paddock, they get a little swollen during the day (he only wears the bandages at night), but in the morning after the bandages they are no longer swollen. He'd never had legs like this in the morning before. This solved our long-standing problem.
