  • LAMINITIS WEDGE
    Publication number: 20200022353
    Abstract: The invention relates to a hoof soling element to be attached under the hoof of an animal, in particular a horse, wherein said hoof soling element (1) is of uniformly increasing height which enables an area of the soling element (1) that is of lesser height to be attached under the front portion of the hoof and an area of greater height under the rear portion of the hoof, wherein said hoof soling element (1) is composed of a material having a Shore-A hardness ranging between 60 and 90. Said hoof soling is particularly suited for the treatment of laminitis and enables the load acting on the foot to be shifted to the healthy rear hoof portion, wherein as a result of the hardness of the material a sufficient amount of elasticity on the one hand and resistance on the other is achieved.
