The "THERAPEUTIC AIR KNEE" carpal bands represent an extraordinary innovation in the field of therapeutic care of horses. 100% Made in Italy, they are designed to provide the horse with natural therapeutic support while resting in the stall or during transport thanks to the 6 magnetic devices each band is equipped with, harnessing the therapeutic properties of magneto therapy, ensuring a range of unique benefits for the well-being and health of the horse. The permanent magnets used are composed of a highly magnetic alloy of Neodymium, Iron, and Boron with a Nickel coating, capable of exerting a magnetic induction of 2600 Gauss each. This magnetic intensity has been carefully studied and designed in collaboration with veterinarians and professional riders to maximize the localized increase in vascular blood flow and lymphatic circulation, leading to multiple beneficial effects. LOCAL MAGNETO-THERAPEUTIC EFFECTS: Unlike anti-inflammatory pharmaceutics, which create vasoconstrictor action (thus slowing the vascular blood and lymphatic circulation, resulting in a slowdown of cellular processes), magnetic therapy acts on pain and swelling while avoiding the side effects of pharmaceutics, while instead enhancing regenerative processes. - Analgesic effect; - Anti-inflammatory effect; - Increase of micro-circulation in cartilages; - Acceleration of lactic-acid absorption process; - Acceleration of toxins elimination process; - Acceleration of osteogenesis process; - Acceleration of cellular processes. TREATED PATHOLOGIES: Muscles, tendons, cartilages injuries; Ligaments inflammations; Bones fractures; INSTRUCTIONS: - Accustom the horse with gradual usage sessions, as it may initially feel a sense of tickling due to the increased blood-flow localized. For the first few uses, it is therefore recommended to monitor the horse to prevent him from injuring the magnetic devices; - Can be used on horses of all ages and gender, if necessary permanently when at rest; - Wear only at rest, when the horse is cold, to avoid possible nuisance that might irritate its behaviour; - Not suitable for paddock or dynamic activities use (e.g. walking, flat-work, etc.). WARNINGS: - In presence of injuries, do not use in the acute phase (first 5 days); - Do not use in the presence of visible bruising, open wounds, bleeding, injury or not treated infections because the magnetic effect could contribute to expand the area affected by these diseases; - Do not use in combination with anti-inflammatory pharmaceutics, blood thinners or ointments active in the areas affected by the magnetic treatment; - Do not use in presence of pacemaker; - Do not use during pregnancy! - Not suitable for paddock or dynamic activities use (e.g. walking, flat-work, etc.); - This is not a medical device!
