Animalintex Hoofpad
These hoof pads are made of the same material and with the same properties as the regular Animalintex bandages. The only difference is that these are 'cut to shape' so that you can easily use them on the hoof. Ideal for hoof ulcers or nail treads, for example. But of course you can also use them for the heel, knee, or anywhere else on the horse's body.
Animalintex is an antiseptic (antibacterial) compress for effective treatment of open and moist wounds or abscesses and can help reduce inflammation and infections.
The special inside sucks inflammatory fluid away from the wound and promotes healing. The exterior is smooth and dirt-repellent and reduces the risk of infections.

Animalintex can do both dry as wet can be used either cold or hot.
A warm and wet compress is usually used for abscesses, infected wounds and many hoof problems.
Cold, wet compresses are usually used for bruises, sprains or strains, sprains or heels, or for schiefels or other swellings.
Use them dry on very moist wounds or abscesses or as first aid.
Hot, wet bandage:
If necessary, cut the dressing to size and place it in a little water that has been boiled but has already cooled to 38 degrees C. Squeeze out excess water. Place the bandage on the diseased area with plastic away from the skin.
Hold the joint in place with a flex bandage or tape.
Cold wet bandage:
Can also be used cold. Same process but put it in the freezer for a while before using it.
Dry connection:
Apply directly to the affected area and hold in place with flex bandage or tape.
