The Science

Equine Wound Care Boots, Horse Wound Dressing & Aloe Vera

Our products incorporate a layer of 100% activated carbon fabric with  microscopic nano silver. This fabric has very effective antibacterial properties, as the surface of the carbon has a permanent electrostatic charge which attracts bacteria from a wound or from the horse’s skin into the carbon structure where they are retained and killed by the nano silver.

Antibacterial testing carried out by Lincoln University has scientifically proven the fabric to be very effective at capturing and killing bacteria associated with veterinary wounds (Pseudomonas aeroginosa & Streptococci) also other harmful bacteria. Removal of bacteria from a wound promotes a healthy wound environment which can aid wound closure and reduce the risk of granulation tissue.

Activated carbon fabric with silver is commonly used in human wound dressings but as its a  fabric can used in material garments and washed, making our equine boot range. Our wound care products are excellent killing bacteria that can cause cracked heels and mud fever. They can also be used on a daily basis to promote healthy skin and stop any bacteria infiltrating the skin.

For some time now we have been looking for a quality range to add to Equi-Med and we are excited to introduce our Aloe Vera range. Now we have products that can be used when the dressings and boots cant, Aloe Vera has been use for centuries to aid wound healing and generally keep skin healthy.
