ACTIVO-MED COMBI HOOF BOOTS (Pulsed Electromagnetic & Massage) The Activo-Med Hoof Boot can be used for foot conditions, including: Bruises Cracks Abcessses Concussion Degeneration diseases Arthritic changes Laminitis Inflammation / Swelling Ligament or tendon damage Fractures Like the other Activo-Med systems, the Hoof Boots have preset therapy programmes. They are available as add-ons for people with Activo-Med rugs or as Hoof Boot systems which include the control box, battery, charger, surcingle and transport bag. The boot is operated from a control box and rechargeable battery that attaches to the horses surcingle. From here, any of the preset programmes can be selected. The Hoof Boot is simply strapped on to the horses hoof, so its really simple to use . HOW IT WORKS One control box operates both Pulsed Electromagnetic and Massage in one combined therapy session. You only have to choose one of the preset programme sequences and the multi-session starts leaving you free to carry out other tasks without having to stand with the horse. COMPONENTS The Control Box The Hoof Boot System is operated with a specially designed multi-function control box based on the latest micro processor technology. Together with the lightweight battery unit, the control box is put in a small plastic wallet and secured directly on the top of the rug. The programmable microprocessor offers a large range of options to create individual therapy programs. The therapy time, frequency and intensity can be easily changed. Even the duration of each individual massage line can be adjusted. The PEMF spools and massage modules in the blanket, boots and probe connect to the back of the central control unit which plugs into the battery. The battery has a simple on/off button and lasts for approximately 15-20 treatments before recharging is required. The Boots The boots are made from Goretex with a strong rubber base. They fix to the leg using elastic sticky straps. They cover the hoof up to the fetlock joint. They are easy to use and offer a wide spectrum of treatments. Each boot contains 2 magnetic spools and 2 massage units which work together to improve circulation to this area. GENERAL INFORMATION Pulsed Electromagnetic Field therapy (PEMF) uses a range of frequencies and intensities to stimulate different cells in the body. This helps to promote cells with different functions to work more efficiently. The effectiveness of PEMF therapy has been FDA approved and is widely used by well-known organisations such as the NHS as well as by vets and physiotherapists. All electromagnetic fields are charged with energy generated by electric current: where current flows, magnetism develops. The components are put directly on the horse’s body. The PEMF rug, boots and probe contain copper spools that create magnetic fields with electric power supplied by the battery provided. The equipment comes in a robust carrying bag for storage and transportation. The 4 important factors for successful therapy sessions are: Intensity (Tesla) Frequency (Hertz) Time/duration (minutes) Combination of treatments. The Combi+System enables these 4 factors to be regulated and combined with each other. When not to use PEMF: During pregnancy Severe fungal diseases Epilepsy Fever and tumour developments. The equipment should be stored and operated in a dry place. TECHNICAL DATA Battery: 12V/2,2 Ah. Direct Current. Control box menu PEMF: Frequency adjustable individually between 1-50 Hertz Time adjustable individually between 1 to 99 minutes Intensity of 0,5 to 5,0 mT adjustable in 10 steps. All systems have a 2-year warranty
