Paniolo Leg Splint Horse

Paniolo Leg Splint Horse

This leg splint has been designed with the intention of applying at the scene of injury; the racecourse, polo field or event. Likewise it can also be used post surgery at the clinic. It is easy to apply and can enable the horse to be removed from the field to the surgery as quickly as possible. Just as easy to remove and reapply:

• This splint can be moulded on site, or pre-moulded on an average sized horse and quickly applied at the scene of injury.
• The splint provides essential support for bone fractures, tendon and ligament tears and ruptures, and wound management.
• The splint is made from an inner layer of air dry foam and resin, and an outer hard polyester shell. The air dry foam provides a protective layer around the limb and acts as a barrier between the polyester shell so as to not create further issues with skin abrasions.
• The splint is 100% breathable and can be washed and dried out.
• The splint has been designed with the thoroughbred in mind, but can be used on all horses and ponies.

There are five different sizes for the age six months and above:

• Small – 100cm long x 15cm wide
• Medium – 120cm x 15cm
• Medium Extra Strong – 120cm x 15cm
• Medium+ – 120cm x 16.5cm
• Large – 140cm x 15cm

There are five sizes for foals:

• Foal large – 140cm x 12.5cm
• Foal small – 100cm x 12.5cm
• Foal extra small – 80cm x 11cm
• Large Dorsal Splint – 45cm x 14cm
• Dorsal Splint – 32cm x 14cm – this is a dorsal splint that has a much thicker outer shell and will be very rigid. For the use on newborn foal congenital flexural deformities. Available with foam or without.

The difference between the medium and medium extra strong is the durability of the inner polyester shell. The extra strong is more suited for horses that need to stand in the splint for a longer period of time. Due to the stronger heel and toe bends, it will not break easiliy when continually being used.
