How is the cold compress prepared and applied to the horse?

After removing the cold compress from the packaging, briefly knead the compress before freezing it. Place the cold compress in a freezing cabinet or a deepfreeze (down to minus 22 degrees Celsius) so that you can utilize the full potential of the product. The cold compress must remain in the freezer for at least 4 hours before use.

Always keep the cold compress in the freezer so that the item is ready for immediate use at any time.

The cold compress is fixed on the affected part of the horse's body with the special Velcro bandage.

The bandage we provide with Stübben Kryo Kompakt Horse does not slip. It fits snugly everywhere and is easy to care for.

For special protection, for example against nibbling, a normal wool bandage or tendon protector can be wrapped around or placed over the Velcro bandage.

The compress is made of an extremely wear-resistant nylon-textile mix. It is comfortable and non-irritating to the skin, and close fitting.

Recommendations on the use of Stübben Kryo Kompakt Horse

Prevention and regeneration for tired musculature after training, competition and riding:
Remove the cold compress from the deepfreeze, place it in the bandage, and cool the horse's extremity at the desired place for 1 to 2 hours.

Treatment of acute inflammatory processes such as phlegmon, tendinitis, tenosynovitis, arthritis and the like:
Acute, painful processes such as sitfast, sprains, strains, contusions, capsular dilation, capsular tears and the like: in these cases it is important to begin with quick cooling with as low a temperature as possible to prevent haematoma development and to combat pain promptly. Cool for at least 3 hours without interruption, then change the compress (if required) for another 3 hours. In case of pain episodes, 3 hours of cooling a day for up to 5 days.

Chronic inflammatory processes which are not immune to treatment:
for 6 to 10 days alternate as follows: cool for 6 hours, warm for 12 hours, cool for 6 hours.

Pre- and post-operative application to prevent pain and swelling after operations:
if possible, cool the area for 30 minutes before the operation (but only if the operation will not last longer than 30 minutes, since there would otherwise be a danger of hyperaemia).
Dermatological indications such as burns, skin irritations, eczema, injury to the coronet and the like: pain treatment as quickly as possible by cooling with low temperatures for 3 hours, then conservative dressing.

Reduction of fever, transport fever and tying-up syndrome in racing and trotting horses:
When applied to all four of the horse's extremities, the cryotherapy compress reduces fever by 3 to 4 degrees Celsius. If possible, leave the cold application on the horse the entire night, as long as the fever lasts.
