LATEST VERSION - Cryochaps Stablechaps are compression and infrared therapy wraps for horses designed to aid circulation, reduce swelling, and promote recovery after exercise or periods of stable rest. They are an alternative to traditional stable bandages, offering an easy-to-use, quick-drying design.
The stable wraps ability to facilitate air circulation and wick moisture away makes them particularly suitable for use as quick dry leg wraps after washing or wet winter legs. The stable wraps harness the energy of infrared radiated from the body, keep the legs warm and aid circulation to keep your horse in top condition in winter months.
How they work:
Stablechaps use a dual-action approach of compression and infrared therapy to benefit a horse's legs.
-
Compression: They provide uniform, gentle pressure to the lower legs, which helps support the circulatory and lymphatic systems. This encourages blood flow, helps remove metabolic waste products like lactic acid, and limits fluid build-up ("stocking up") that can occur from standing in a stall for extended periods.
-
Infrared (IR): The materials used in Stablechaps are designed to harness the horse's own radiated body heat. This infrared energy helps keep the legs warm, which further promotes circulation and can be beneficial during colder weather. The breathable fabric prevents overheating.
Key uses and benefits:
-
Post-exercise recovery: After intense exercise, compression therapy can assist in recovery by improving circulation, reducing inflammation, and increasing oxygen delivery to tissues.
-
Preventing swelling ("stocking up"): For horses prone to swelling from long periods of stabling or during travel, Stablechaps help prevent fluid accumulation.
-
Injury support: When recovering from a non-acute injury, the wraps offer support, help control swelling, and protect the affected area. Always consult a vet before use on new injuries.
-
Easy to use: Compared to traditional bandaging, Stablechaps are simple to apply with a wrap-and-strap design. They are also quick drying and washable.
