EDSS Blue Poditory Pads
 
These Perforated Pads
are proving to be a useful and
versatile product. The original idea was to develop a
pad that can act like a rim pad (wedged or flat) but not
completely leave the frog unsupported. The Perf Pad
also offers a good alternative to a screen pad when the
use of impression material or injectable urethane is
required. However, in the 6 months since these pads
have been available, the range of uses has far exceeded
our expectations. For example, for horses with a
negative coffin bone angle and a severe prolapsed frog,
you can turn the wedge pad over so that the flat screen
section is towards the ground, and it will act as a
sling for the oversized frog while the wedge helps to
improve the alignment of the DIP joint. The flat
version of the Perf Pad is helpful in offering a little
support and the protection of a pad that is sometimes
necessary, yet still allows air to pass through.
All-in-all, we are very excited about the NB Perforated
Pad and we will continue to update you on more uses as
time goes on. The Natural
Balance Pad can be used with or without Impression
Material, depending on the quality of the frog and
required application. The NBP is available in two sizes
(Regular = 00-1 & Large = 2 - 6) and in both a FLAT and
WEDGED version of each size.
