To protect the horse's eye against pressure or impact, a solid spacer can be made from the plate supplied; Can be individually adapted to the shape of the horse's head and the problem; to be combined with the VMC head, eye and ear protection mask for horses
To ensure a perfect fit for every patient, the eye spacer is not prefabricated, but is delivered as a 2 mm thick woodcast plate measuring 14.6 x 34 cm. The horse owner then shapes the protection into the desired or required shape by heating the material.
After it has cooled down, the spacer is attached under the VCM protective mask in front of the horse's eye. Additional snap fasteners can be ordered to secure the eye protection in the mask even better.
What is Woodcast?
Woodcast is a non-toxic material made from pure wood and biodegradable plastic. It initially comes as a flat, hard plate. By heating it (with a hot air dryer, in the microwave or in the oven) it becomes soft and malleable after a few minutes. When heated, it can be shaped into any anatomical shape. After cooling, the material becomes hard again and retains its given shape. In addition to being used as horse eye protection, Woodcast is also often used for plaster casts or splints. When heated, it is also self-adhesive and can therefore be used in several layers.
How does the shaping of the Woodcast eye spacer work?
First, the woodcast plate must be heated in the microwave, oven or with a hot air dryer. After a few minutes the material becomes soft. The flexible plate can now be adapted to the horse's head and a cavity can be formed as required. (Important: Do not place the warm plate directly on the horse's fur, but leave the VetMedCare protective mask in between!). Alternatively, it is also possible to place the heated plate over a small bowl or similar shaped object to create the desired shape. Excess material is cut off and glued to the center of the bulge as additional reinforcement. Then carefully pull the spacer to the desired length and width and shape the edges round. If necessary, press the snap fasteners into the still warm material. After cooling, the eye spacer is as hard as before. Now the self-adhesive binding tape supplied must be attached as a cushion over the edges.
