Simply zip, fill and recover. Use after work to cool the leg and increase circulation, ensuring the entire leg cools quickly. Indispensable for use after tendon\/ligament injury when wrapping and ice is needed, or when ice is prescribed several times daily. Can be used as compression boot without ice as well. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBenefits of XLR8 Cryo Boots\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you notice swelling or inflammation in the horse’s legs, then your horse can benefit significantly from cold treatment, or cryotherapy from the XLR8 ice boot. All competitive equines experience stress to the critical structures of the legs, but with regular maintenance, we can mitigate injuries and help reduce downtime. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eXLR8 Cryo Boots are not like a traditional ice boot. This ice boot is designed to reduce inflammation while maintaining blood flow and adequate lymphatic return. This is useful to deal with arthritic joints, windpuffs, stocking up, and pain after exercise, especially when stalled or hauling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCold Therapy After Exercise\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe internal structures of a horse's leg can reach surprising temperatures during strenuous exercise. This is the reason it is recommended to remove splint boots or polo wraps from your horse’s legs immediately after work, but we can use equine ice boots to help after work. Cold therapy for these tissues helps them retain their elasticity and helps prevent injury in the horse leg. For this reason, cold therapy is a crucial part of your horse’s leg care and routine maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter work, simply zip the ice boots on and secure around the horse’s leg with the top band. Fill the pockets with ice, and leave your horse standing tied. This can be easily done within your daily schedule. When riding multiple horses, simply ice the first's legs while riding the next horse, then rotate. Since the compression fabric is breathable, it will not trap heat after the ice has melted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ice never contacts the horse’s leg directly – the internal compression layer serves as a barrier to prevent ice burn during ice treatments. As the ice melts, the cold water encases the entire leg from the knee or hock to the foot, cooling it evenly and effectively. The compression speeds blood through the legs and prevents the buildup of fluid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur XLR8 Cryo boot is an ice boot that is made to be quick and easy to use, without the need for ice packs or gel pouches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e","brand":"XLR8 Equine","offers":[{"title":"Front \/ Small- up to 15 Hands","offer_id":41042638372922,"sku":"CRYOSF","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Front \/ Medium- 15 - 16 Hands","offer_id":41042638405690,"sku":"CRYOMF","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Front \/ Large- Over 16 Hands","offer_id":41042638438458,"sku":"CRYOLF","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Front \/ Extra Large - Draft","offer_id":41042638471226,"sku":"sku-41277867491484","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hind \/ Small- up to 15 Hands","offer_id":41042638503994,"sku":"CRYOSH","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hind \/ Medium- 15 - 16 Hands","offer_id":41042638536762,"sku":"CRYOMH","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hind \/ Large- Over 16 Hands","offer_id":41042638569530,"sku":"CRYOLH","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hind \/ Extra Large - Draft","offer_id":41042638602298,"sku":"sku-41277867524252","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0020\/5710\/9549\/files\/9972_771e6254-1f8e-4c01-9263-7fb7cd919862.webp?v=1759868695"},{"product_id":"g-force","title":"XLR8 Equine G-Force Compression Boot","description":"\u003ch1\u003eG-Force Horse Compression Boot\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe easiest far-infrared compression boot infused with copper, germanium, and other bioceramics to increase circulation and reduce inflammation while keeping cool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0112\/7291\/2996\/products\/G_Force_crop_web_ready_16f4f38e-6e6b-4297-9f68-18835de3972a_480x480.jpg?v=1611612279\" alt=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0112\/7291\/2996\/products\/G_Force_crop_web_ready_16f4f38e-6e6b-4297-9f68-18835de3972a_480x480.jpg?v=1611612279\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhen to use:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHorse owners can use these advanced equine compression socks even in heat to mitigate edema and inflammation.

As arthropathy and osteopathy are the major chronic diseases of geriatric medicine, we explored the possible activity of bioceramic on these conditions using animal and cell models. Rabbits received intra-articular injections of lipopolysaccharides (LPS) to induce inflammation that mimic rheumatic arthritis. FDG isotopes were then IV injected for PET scan examinations at 16 hours and 7 days after the LPS injection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe examined and compared the bioceramic and control groups to see if bioceramic was capable of relieving inflammation in the joints by subtracting the final and initial uptake amount of FDG (max SUV). We studied the effects in prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) inhibition on the human chondrosarcoma (SW1353) cell line, and the effects on the murine osteoblast (MC3T3-E1) cell line under oxidative stress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll the subtractions between final and initial uptakes of FDG in the left knee joints of the rabbits after LPS injection indicated larger decreases in the bioceramic group than in the control group. This anti-arthritic or inflammatory effect was also demonstrated by the PGE2 inhibition of the SW1353 cells. We further proved that bioceramic treatment of the MC3T3-E1 cells resulted in increased viability of osteoblast cells challenged with hydrogen peroxide toxicity, and increased alkaline phosphatase activity and the total protein production of MC3T3-E1 cells under oxidative stress. Since LPS-induced arthritis is an experimental model that mimics RA, the potential therapeutic effects of bioceramic on arthropathy merit discussion. Bioceramic may contribute to relieving inflammatory arthritis and maintaining bone health.” (2)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlood Flow\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith XLR8 G-Force, circulation is increased to the horse's legs.
