Instant Cold Therapy for the Competition Season

Koolpaks from Robinson Animal Healthcare are ideal for use at competitions to minimize tissue damage following intense work or an injury.

Cold therapy is commonly used in the treatment of inflammation and soft tissue injuries. A popular choice of treatment, cold therapy is a natural, drug-free way to help treat injuries and reduce pain.

It lowers the temperature at the site of injury through heat exchange and constricts local blood vessels. This reduces cell damage and fluid build-up.

Cold therapy is ideally used immediately after an injury occurs and then subsequently for the next 48 hours at regular intervals. Due to the frequent nature of its use, cold therapy involving water may lead to cracked heels or other skin problems. Dry application minimizes the risk of such dermatological issues.

For immediate dry cold therapy, Koolpak from Robinson Animal Healthcare is ideal for emergency and routine use as it requires no refrigeration. Suitable for providing fast, effective treatment for tendon injuries, inflammation, knocks, strains, bruises and swellings.

Koolpak is also ideal for use after competing, particularly on hard ground. It provides instant relief to the leg area and is suitable for all horses.

Easy to use, you simply squeeze the inner sachet in the pack to release freezing liquid. It can be applied directly to the skin and if necessary held in place with a bandage. The Koolpak will remain effective for up to one hour.

RRP is around £2.50
