The COLDFLEX Vet Wraps are perfect for treating sprains, strains, tendon injuries, bucked shins, hematomas, arthritis, stocking up, core temperature control and various other veterinary/equine problems. COLDFLEX wraps can also be used before strenuous exercise to keep swelling out and to tighten the tendons and muscles. Race horses have used COLDFLEX 10-15 minutes prior to the race and have increased their overall wins. COLDFLEX is the product that can make all the difference in preventing and treating injuries as well as increasing performance.
COLDFLEX Vet Wraps are made of stretchable polyurethane foam that is saturated with 96% water based gel that cools at room temperature. (It may also be refrigerated for a deeper cooling action.) The gel-imbedded wrap evaporates water to simultaneously provide moist, penetrating, cooling action and compression. The cooling effect lasts for hours and there is no danger of tissue damage from excessive cold as with the application of ice.
Unlike other self-cooling products on the market, COLDFLEX is the only one that is 96% water based , making it 100% irritation free and safe, even on abraded skin. Other "self-cooling" products are alcohol based, which can cause surface blood vessels to dilate and actually increase the swelling. Alcohol based products also work via rapid evaporation, cooling only the top surface tissues, but having little effect on the deeper layers of muscle. COLDFLEX however, removes heat by evaporation, pulling heat from deep within the muscle tissues, while the compression helps reduce and prevent edema. And because COLDFLEX is water based, the wrap requires only cool water to regenerate, making it VERY cost-effective.
COLDFLEX is also highly effective at core temperature control and as a total body rejuvenation system, reducing the overall body temperature by cooling the blood that runs through the surface vessels in the lower legs. Because COLDFLEX does not require refrigeration, it is a must have item on all trail rides and camping expeditions!
