Box Rest & Stable Recovery Support for Thoroughbreds
"Prevent Muscle Atrophy & Improve Circulation During Confinement"
Extended period of box rest due to injury or post-surgery is incredibly detrimental to a Thoroughbred's cardiovascular system and muscle mass. Without the ability to walk and naturally pump blood through the hooves and legs, circulation stagnates. A Hidez compression suit acts as a passive circulatory pump for the confined Thoroughbred.
The patented graduated compression actively assists venous return, preventing "stocking up" (fluid swelling in the lower limbs) and dramatically reducing the risk of tying up (azoturia) due to stall confinement.
Furthermore, the suit acts as a muscular support system, gently hugging the Thoroughbred's body to help minimize the rapid muscle atrophy commonly seen during prolonged stable rest, keeping your Thoroughbred in better condition for when they are cleared to walk.
