Equi-N-Ice

Equi-N-icE and Physicool

The Equi-N-icE and Physicool cooling systems are both based on a unique, patented cooling method which creates rapid evaporation to generate a cooling effect. Heat is drawn away from the tissues unlike traditional products which attempt to work by cooling the outer surface of the skin.

Equi-N-Ice Cooling For Your Horse's Legs

Equi-N-icE works by drawing heat out as opposed to other products that work on driving cold in. Equi-N-icE requires no refrigeration, is not messy, needs no mixing and has no unpleasant smells.

The treated area will drop by 10-15°C and stay that way for up to 2-3 hours. Once used the Equi-N-icE Bandage can be washed and reused by adding enough ready mixed Coolant to make the Ice bandage damp and replace in the re-sealable pouch until needed again.

Equi-N-icE cooling system is clinically proven

Clinical trial results: [1] on the effects of the unique coolant in Equi-N-icE for horses and Physicool (the human version) have demonstrated a ‘dramatic improvement’ [1] compared to standard cooling therapy.

The trial tested the patented cooling system after severe joint trauma and found that mobility was improved by a massive 50% and pain reduced by 50% compared to currently used ice/cryo therapy [1].

The trial results were presented at EFORT (European Federation of National Associations of Orthopaedics and Traumatology [1].

Applying ice packs to injuries is becoming increasingly recognised as hazardous for both horses and humans (see below). Both Equi-N-icE and Physicool can be used to safely reduce pain and swelling after trauma and to treat inflammation and bruising of muscles, tendons and ligaments.
