Patent number: 7762048Abstract: A hoof boot assembly enables a user to remedy a select hoof disorder, and comprises an outer hoof-enveloping casing and an inner cavity-filling core. The casing is constructed from an elastic material and the core is constructed from a viscoelastic material. The core is received in the casing such that when donned upon a hoof, the sole/frog cavity of the hoof negatively impresses the core. In other words, the boot assembly is outfitted upon a hoof such that the casing envelopes the hoof, and the core compressibly fills the hoof cavity thereof. The optional medicament is deliverable to a target treatment site via core compression for topically treating the site. The casing is elastically actuable and returnable during hoof loading/unloading, and the core is creep-compressible and creep-returnable during hoof loading/unloading.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2007Date of Patent: July 27, 2010Inventor: Catheleen B.
