Application

How to apply the DECRON Hoof Gel Pad

• Before applying the DECRON Hoof Gel Pad, thoroughly remove all dirt from the hoof with a brush. Thoroughly cleanse and disinfect the entire hoof sole, including the frog, with an iodine-based antiseptic. Dry the hoof sole.
• Remove the DECRON Hoof Gel Pad from the packaging. Position the gel side of the Decron Hoof Gel Pad onto the hoof sole.
• Use a cohesive bandage to total wrap the hoof and DECRON Hoof Gel Pad, extending the bandage half-way up the pastern, so it is firm but not tight on the skin, creating an airtight environment.

Important: Do not expose the hoof to water.

Open Wounds

For hoof abscess, corns, nail punctures or thrush, apply the DECRON Hoof Gel Pad for 24 hours. Apply a second DECRON Hoof Gel Pad for a further 24 hours.

Sole Bruising and Laminitis

Apply the DECRON Hoof Gel Pad for 24 hours. Apply a second DECRON Hoof Gel Pad for a further 24 to 48 hours.

Lameness

Because the DECRON orthopaedic pad and boot are protective and supporting, any lameness may resolve sufficiently for the horse to resume work.
