Stübben Equi Compress Set Hind Legs

Over 5 years of research & development - patented - 100% made in Germany: the first compression stocking that convinces!

EQUI Compress manages to stimulate the vascular system and accelerate metabolism with the help of optimal pressure and efficient compression, starting from the horse's hoof.

Stübben x EQUI compress results from the scientific work of equine physiotherapist Franzi Bechberger-Gaber, in collaboration with veterinarians and experts in the field of lymphology.

When a horse is immobile for long periods or is trained at an intensive rate, the lymphatic system and its metabolic waste evacuation might not function correctly, leading to leg swelling and slower tissue regeneration.

The compression stockings Stübben x EQUI compress were designed to counter this effect.

They stimulate the lymphatic system through optimal pressure and effective pumping function.

With the help of elaborate test procedures, the optimal pressure values were determined to positively influence the horse’s vascular system and enable preventive measures to be taken.

Compression therapy involves applying pressure from the extremities towards the heart to narrow blood vessels.

This enhances blood circulation, improving the flow back to the heart and preventing oedema or swelling.

It also helps restore the functionality of the valves in veins and lymphatic vessels by bringing them closer, thus speeding up the removal of metabolic waste from the body.

Furthermore, EQUI compress stimulates the fascia, improving tissue health, and relieves tension in the tendons with precise pressure application.

Overall, it reduces congestion in the extremities, providing relief and well-being.

EQUI compress is knitted from silver ions infused yarn that prevents bacteria buildup.

This helps protect irritated pastern tissue.

The breathable material effectively manages moisture while providing a cooling sensation.

Inside of the boot, EQUI pelotte applies pressure to facilitate the removal of metabolic wastes from the extremities without compressing the vessels.

Its texture, made of rounded bumps, stimulates the lymphatic system and fascia.

Plus, when the horse moves, the resulting pump effect is conveyed to the suspensory ligament by EQUI pelotte.

EQUI compress is perfect for aiding recovery in resting or immobilised horses.

It is ideal:

• for horses in resting phases or for stabled horses
• during transport and at horse shows
• during intense training phases
• against swollen legs and windgalls

EQUI compress has been designed for rest phases rather than training, as movement and exercise already sufficiently stimulates the circulatory system.

Care instructions: Machine washable at a maximum of 30 °C in the laundry bag provided.

Not suitable for tumble drying.

The Velcro fasteners on the gaiters must be closed tightly before washing to prevent damage to the fabric.
