OFFERING SOFT COMFORTING CARE

FOR TRAUMATISED FEET

This kit is designed as a first aid measure, to stabilise and protect a damaged foot, thus assisting

in the healing process and providing protection.

The contents are designed for the support of two feet, with a maximum foot size of 14cm, (5 1/2”).

Equisoft support can be used for the following applications;

• Provide comfort and support to sore feet.

• Stabilise and protect feet following shoe loss.

• If laminitis is suspected, the Equisoft support system can offer soft support and promote the healing process.

The system is very easy to apply by following these instructions.

Remove the shoes on the affected feet.

 Pick out and clean the sole frog and bars, paying particular attention to the sulci (central and side clefts) of the frogs.

       Hoof test the feet, to find the most painful areas.

  It is helpful to mark where the most painful areas are.

In this case the back part of the foot is more painful.

        Place, one piece of the enclosed foam, onto the bottom of the foot and trace around the foot.

  Cut the foam a little larger than the foot

Cut three pieces of the enclosed tape, approximately 10cm (four inches) longer than the widest part of the foot.

Take the WHITE impression material and fill ONE HALF of one foot, BEHIND the painful areas. (This is to check the correct amount required).

Then remove the white impression material from the foot.

       Then take an equal amount of the pink impression material.

  Mix the two parts together until they smoothly blend into one colour.

        Place the blended impression material into the back part of the foot BEHIND the painful areas.

  Place the three pieces of pre cut tape width ways over the impression material and place the foot onto the floor.    Now is a good time to work on the other foot!

The impression material now has to harden or set , (approximately 5 -10 minutes).

        Trim any impression material that may

have spread over the painful areas of the foot.

Remove the backing paper and stick the foam over the whole bottom of the foot, tape and impression material. (Sticky side to the foot!)

Secure the pad to the foot first

 with either a three or four sided cross of tape

Smooth the sides of the cross onto the clean hoof

Tightly wrap tape a few times around the foot,  the cross and the pad.

Make a few wraps from the toe over the bulbs of the heel,

 smoothing  the tape as you apply.
