PLEASE NOTE BEFORE APPLYING PRODUCT • Vettec products are best used between 65°- 85° F (18°- 29° C).
• Areas of bleeding, abscesses or severe thrush 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 mix tips.
• This procedure should be performed on a clean, flat work area.
CARTRIDGE PREPARATION
1. To open, remove the tip of the cartridge (at designated groove) with nippers or knife.
Ensure a clean straight cut along groove.
2. Slide the red oval finger ring over top of cartridge and seat at cartridge base.
3. Use the red plunger to squeeze out a small amount of material to ensure both sides are
dispensing evenly.
4. Attach mixing tip by pressing and twisting clockwise.
5. For additional applications, remove old tip, re-equalize the cartridge, and attach another mix tip.
HOOF PREPARATION 1. Trim and balance the hoof and conservatively pare the sole. Remove any weak or soft material that will exfoliate in the next 2-3 weeks, especially at the white line area. 2. Using a hoof knife trim and clean the frog, bars and commissures.
3.
Remove all loose sole and dirt with a wire brush.
4. Pay special attention to the bars. The bars should not be lying over onto the sole as this could cause a pressure point. If the bars are lying down, trim them back to proper position.
5. Have all materials ready (including contouring plastic and prepare the cartridges) before proceeding to the next step.
6. Holding sole upward dry hoof thoroughly using a heat gun for 30-45 seconds. Do not overheat. Keep heat source approximately 6 inches away from sole. NOTE:All hooves contain natural moisture and must be dried exactly in the manner described above. This step is critical for Sole-Guard to achieve the appropriate bond to the sole.
APPLICATION PROCEDURE
1. Immediately after drying;hold hoof level with Contouring Plastic (REF #46904) at toe and dispense enough Equi-Pak|CS to fill the commissures
of the frog and cover any thrushy areas. Hold foot level and wait for 30 seconds.
2. Dispense Sole-Guard over the Equi-Pak|CS and onto the sole just short of the white line. Do not fill above the level of the wall.
3. When desired amount of material is applied, firmly press contouring plastic over the sole towards the heel creating a slight “cup” in the Sole-Guard material.
4. Hold foot up for 1 minute and set foot down.
5. Remove contouring plastic after 10 minutes and trim any excess material with hoof knife.
6. Leave horse tied up or return to stall for approximately 30-60 minutes, do not turn out right away.
