EquineSleeve
About Our Product:
EquineSleeve is a flexible, nonwoven tubular compression sleeve for animals. It is made from a proprietary thermoplastic elastomer compound. EquineSleeve is latex free, antimicrobial, hypoallergenic and non-medicated.
EquineSleeve conforms to the limb and is easy to apply. An eight-year-old rider applied EquineSleeve with no assistance from the trainer. The ease of use nearly eliminates the risk of bandage bow and vastly reduces the need for additional bandaging materials. EquineSleeve is reusable which delivers great economic value. Many customers are able to get dozens of uses out of one pair. The hypoallergenic feature allows the care giver to apply the sleeve directly to the skin with little concern of irritation to the area. Thermography studies demonstrate no restriction of blood flow to the hoof after 12 hours of use. The flexible nature of the sleeve allows for joint mobility thus allowing the animal to move about with ease while wearing EquineSleeve. One might find that where traditional treatments are unsuccessful, EquineSleeve works amazingly well!
We recommend the 2" diameter sleeves for warmblood and draft types. The 2" diameter is the most common size needed for hocks. We recommend the 1" diameter sleeves for ponies, thoroughbred and quarter horse types. *See SHOP for more sizing descriptions.
