Overview
Product Specifications

Hele Equine Hoof Cushions are a new European design of a wedge-shaped pad of compressed particles of highly-resilient black rubber. The pad can be slightly compressed, but retains its original shape for proper support.

  • The wedge shape elevates the heel to reduce tension by the deep digital flexor tendon on its coffin bone and allows the extensor tendon to help prevent the coffin bone from rotation
  • The pad supports the sole and frog without putting pressure on the laminae and hoof wall
  • Designed for single treatment, but can be worn for up to 4 weeks
  • Can be placed with hoof shoes if these can’t be readily removed
  • After symptoms have been reduced, the shoe can be removed and the Hele Equine Hoof Cushion can continue to be placed directly on the sole of the hoof
  • Apply with a very strong, high-quality adhesive tape such as Tesa (must be used); Vetwrap and Elastikon have too much stretch and will not hold pad in place
  • Not just for laminitis; injuries to the deep flexor tendon and accessory ligament benefit greatly with Equine Hoof Cushion
