What Do We Offer?
I.E.T.’s flagship product is the EQ3 cryotherapy device, which will prevent and reduce the severity of acute laminitis. Studies have shown that the recommended cryotherapy treatment for a horse at immediate risk of acute laminitis, such as those that have ingested excess carbohydrate, been exposed to black walnut shavings, or are at increased risk of laminitis as a result of diseases such as colitis, proximal enteritis, metritis, pleuropneumonia, peritonitis or complicated colic. Therapy should begin as soon a risk is identified, and of course, preferably before lameness appears. The preventive concept is based on avoiding structural damage rather than treating it. The recommended treatment protocol is to keep the feet between 0° and 5°C for 72 hours.
The EQ3 system includes:
- Temperature Control/Monitor of each hoof
- High Flow Capacity
- Temperature Range can circulate below 0 degrees C
- Degree of Maneuverability
- Doubles as a work station
- Modular Construction - ie. components are easily exchangeable
- Drawer Storage
