Equi-Pak CS™ (REF#s 46122) is a fast setting, 45 seconds, liquid urethane hoof packing material infused with copper sulfate for the treatment and prevention of thrush while also providing a durable, shock absorbent, cushioned support that retains its shape and flexibility indefinitely.

Equi-Pak CS can be used with or without a pad and adheres to the sole sealing out moisture and debris, protecting both the frog and sole and eliminating the need to pick out the feet daily. Equi-Pak CS will leave the sole in excellent condition, eliminating the environment for the creation of thrush.

PLEASE NOTE

• Vettec products are best used between 65° and 85° F (18° to 29° C).
• Areas of wetness or bleeding should not be covered. Once healed, commence using products.
• Use of disposable gloves is recommended.
• Do not burn or “Hot Shoe” this product.
• Use only Vettec mixing tips.

CARTRIDGE PREPARATION

1. To open the cartridge, remove the tip at line with nippers. Insert cartridge into dispensing gun, label side up.
2. Before attaching the mixing tip, equalize the cartridge by squeezing out a small amount to ensure that both sides are dispensing evenly.
3. Attach mixing tip by pressing and twisting clockwise.
4. When finished, don’t release the pressure with the lever on the back of the dispenser. Remove the mixing tip immediately, discard, and replace with a cap. Push the pressure release lever. Caps are available from your dealer.
5. For additional applications, re-equalize the cartridge, and attach a new tip.

HOOF PREPARATION

1. Trim and conservatively pare the sole. With hoof knife, remove as much of the thrush infected tissue as is possible.
2. DRY HOOF THOROUGHLY using a heat gun or hair dryer, even if you don’t think it needs it. Don’t overheat.

PROCEDURE

With Pads
1a. If open at heels:
Place the mixing tip under the pad at the heel and fill to back of the pad.
1b. If there is no access:
Pre-drill a 5/16 inch hole in the pad near the apex of the frog and nail into position under the shoe. Place mixing tip against the hole and dispense until filled to the back of the pad. Cover the hole with a small piece of duct tape.
2. Once set, in approximately 45-60 seconds, release the hoof.
3. Replace mixing tip and repeat process as necessary.

Without Pads
1.    Wire-brush the sole. Cut a piece of Equi- Mesh (REF #46030) to the outline of the shoe and place between the hoof and shoe with the curved side toward the sole.
2.    Nail the shoe into position. If the sole is flat, seating out the shoe is advised. Dry thoroughly with a heat gun or hair dryer.
3.    With the frog turned upward, apply Equi-Pak underneath the web of the shoe and fill in the sole until the desired level is achieved. This is usually to just shy of the top of the shoe.
4.    NOTE: For added support, load to ground level using a Foamboard (REF # 46015).
5.    Hold the hoof until the Equi-Pak sets, approximately 45-60 seconds, then release.
