Horse leg cooling has become an essential part of modern sports management. Whereas in the past it was mainly used for injuries, today it is a regular part of daily care to prevent overexertion and inflammation. Cooling helps in three ways: it provides vasoconstriction which reduces swelling, dissipates heat quickly after exercise and acts as a pain reliever through a mild anaesthetic effect. Traditional methods such as cold water, ice boots or gel packs are often cumbersome, lose their effect quickly or require a lot of preparation, such as ice or a freezer.
OptiLegX® Cool offers an innovative solution for this with a closed cooling system that continuously maintains a constant low temperature. Unlike traditional methods, no water, ice or freezer is needed and you can treat several horses in succession or at the same time, wherever you are. The flexible cuffs cool the entire leg, from hoof to shoulder, and are easy to connect to the compact system. Thanks to 220V, 12V and battery operation, the system can be used anywhere and offers maximum comfort for both horse and carer.
