The EquifaceTMSaver will cut down on costly veterinary bills. It will prevent and protect against facial and poll damage. It will protect your horse against ugly scaring and malformation of facial tissues and features. It offers maximum protection without impeding the field of vision or interrupting the natural breathing of the horse.
The extensive areas of equine head coverage are the Poll, the Occipital, the Parietal, the Temporal, the Supra Orbital, the Frontal Sinus, a substantial portion of the Dorsal Nasal region, and the Maxillia.
The skeleton of the horse is made up of 205 bones. The skull alone has 34 bones, making it the 5th largest concentration of bones. Generally when wounds occur on the front of the face area, it happens to the skin on bone, making it very painful for the horse. There is no muscle on the front of the face to cushion the blows from trauma.
When an injury occurs on the face, there is generally a lot of blood flow, which is good for healing, but it can be hard to stop and control, especially when the horse is in intense pain. Injuries on a horses face are difficult wounds to suture and care for. If a horse has punctured or injured his face to the bone, there is a substantial risk of infection to the bone, if not treated properly by a veterinarian. This type of injury can be costly and lengthy to treat, and can lead to death.
The EquifaceTMSaver can pay for itself in a single use when compared to unexpected and costly veterinarian bills.
"The Equiface Saver is an innovative method that clearly augments reconstructive surgery and repair of facial injuries in the horse. After careful and skilled facial surgery with appropriate, clean wound covering, the Equiface Saver adds a layer of protective insurance over the facial injury. The cushioning effect found in the under-layer of matting protects the sensitive tissues just repaired. I see it as a logical approach to face-wound protection in the horse which allows for painless, quick, and important observation of the wound site, surgical repair, and surrounding affected tissues."
