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

• Place the bandage on the back of the fetlock joint with the logoed Velcro facing away from the horse.
• Starting from either the top or bottom, pull the sides of the bandage together and fasten the hooks.
• Fasten the zipper and lay the zipper pull flat pointing downwards. That will stop the zipper from unfastening on its own. Place the Velcro fastening over the zipper slider.

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.

VETOFLEX® BANDAGE PRODUCT CARE INSTRUCTIONS

• Machine washable at 30C, ideally using a soap solution and washing programme for delicate items.
• Use lower-speed spinning over a shorter time. Prolonged spinning at high RPM may cause irreversible damage to fibres.
• Do not use bleaching agents or fabric conditioners which can create a film on the yarn preventing direct contact between the product surface and skin.
• Wash with all fastenings done, including all Velcros, to prevent possible damage to the fabric.
• Do not leave to dry in direct sunlight or near a source of heat.
• Avoid contact with organic solvents, oils, fats and salves.
• Protect the product from damage by sharp items.

"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."
