What are the benefits over ice or cold packs?
Ice or cold packs used over 20 minutes without a veterinarian’s supervision can lead to nerve damage. Extend-A-Cool is a mild cooling therapy that reduces the lower leg temperature 6 to 8° F, and can be used safely for at least seven hours. And unlike commercial cold packs, which are stiff and difficult to use, Extend-A-Cool conforms to the shape of your horse’s leg for uniform tissue cooling.
