Equicast Hoof Casting Bandages

Description Equicast Hoof Casting Bandages. Equicast bandage is a unique casting material designed with specific properties for application on the horse’s hoof. It’s unlike orthopaedic casting in that Equicast has a much higher resin content, which accommodates for wear resistance. Equicast also has a special weave pattern which allows for malleability of the casting material to the hoof. Equicast’s wrapping method and substrate material supports the site of failure to the hoof as well as the result of wall failures like: white line disease, flares, and thin soles. Casting with Equicast’s substrate design and wrapping process adds vertical integrity and lateral stability to the whole hoof capsule, which assists in a sustainable and dynamic support structure. The added lateral stability and vertical integrity helps reduce excessive stress on the laminae at the most distal aspect of the hoof capsule. This dynamic stabilization wrapping process increases vertical integrity and lateral stability to the whole hoof (walls, sole, and frog) for better sole depth, better integrity, and concavity, which will help in establishing better palmar angles for proper biomechanics. This can be used with any of the Equicast products including the both the EVA Leather and Wooden Clogs. Although the Equicast has more adhesive than other brands you may want more. You can use glues like Vettec Adhere or the Jameg and Equilox. If you are using the Vettec Adhere or other fast setting glue you will want to have another person to help hold the hoof up as well as making sure everything is prepared before starting. Packaging may vary. Please read. Equicast-Brochure   The below video demonstrates how to apply an Equicast Wooden Clog using Equicast tape.   The below is a video on how to remove Equicast.
