Compressive bandages in the CLASSIC line offer the mildest level of compression as they are designed to prevent the formation of lymphatic swellings in horses and to aid rapid and straightforward regeneration following strenuous exercise.
The bandages can be used whenever there is a likelihood of a swelling forming, i.e. when a horse is on box rest or following physical exertion. The bandages then assist in equine athletes’ speedy recovery.
The bandages contain no seams, they are easy to put on and secure thanks to three layers of fastening (zipper, hooks and Velcro). The bandages’ accurate anatomical shape ensures perfect fit while maintaining excellent elasticity and comfort when used. The bandages are manufactured by Vetoflex in the Czech Republic using the best Swiss-quality braided fibres. All VETOFLEX products contain microfibre, known for its highly beneficial qualities. It repulses moisture and cold from the outside while the porous structure of the material helps to wick sweat away from the skin. Microfibre materials closely resemble natural silk in both look and feel while the surface is resistant to pilling. Microfibre also maintains its desirable qualities despite washing and cleaning.
Lymphatic swelling can change its volume and size a number of times a day. It is therefore essential that the condition of any swelling is checked several times throughout the day and the bandage replaced as necessary for the correct size. Swellings can be reliably reduced only by using bandages of the correct sizes. When too big a bandage is used the compressive effects are lost. Using too small a bandage can aggravate the condition or cause the swelling to relocate to an area of less resistance, typically upwards.

USAGE
When exercising the horse (natural activity boosts the bandages’ action), during recovery (quicker flushing of waste products from the bloodstream), when on box rest, ideal for transport when worn underneath travel boots.
INSTRUCTIONS OR USE
OUR TIP
You can buy an antibacterial pad for VETOFLEX bandages if you have a horse with more sensitive skin or if you need to apply the bandages intensively. The pads also function as an insert – an element that reduces the size of the bandage circumference.
Use tape measure to determine the circumference of the fetlock joint at its widest point, ideally when the swelling has subsided as much as possible. Then measure the distance on the front of the leg as indicated in the picture.

"The bandages were recommended to me by Dr. Vítek for my gelding after a racing career, who used to have long-term swelling of his hind 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."

"When the horse is under extreme exertion, the most exertion is put on the ligaments and tendons of the lower limbs. For this reason, compensation is necessary to maintain all elements of the locomotor system. From my own experience, I can confirm that Vetoflex compression bandages are a great help to the lymphatic and blood system during extreme exertion. In severe cases, natural compensation may not be sufficient for the regenerative function of the locomotor system, therefore it is advisable to use a Vetoflex compression bandage. The result of using bandages is best shown by the final result of their use, which can greatly surprise those who are willing to try Vetoflex bandages. From my own experience, I can say that I was very positively surprised by the effectiveness of Vetoflex bandages, that is why I can only recommend Vetoflex bandages to everyone."
