Professional's Choice Stifle Ice Wrap for Horses and Dogs - Targeted Cold Therapy Compression with Adjustable Straps & Pliable Cold Capsules

Stop the slide and start the healing with a wrap engineered specifically for the most anatomically challenging joint on the leg. Whether you are cooling down after a high-intensity cross-country run or managing post-surgical TPLO recovery, the Stifle Ice Wrap provides the targeted, high-level compression your athlete deserves to stay sound and comfortable.

Crafted from advanced, breathable compression fabric, this wrap eliminates the heat buildup common with traditional neoprene while ensuring a snug, contoured fit that won't irritate the skin. By utilizing specialized pliable cold capsules that mold to the medial and lateral aspects of the stifle, it delivers consistent cryotherapy that stays cold longer than standard gel packs, making it the gold standard for managing inflammation, "locking stifles," and joint edema.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Adjustable Suspender Straps: Featuring an integrated over-the-back/rump strap system that anchors the wrap in place, preventing gravity-induced slipping during treatment.
• Advanced Compression Fabric: Made with high-performance, breathable material that provides uniform pressure to the joint while allowing heat to disperse, preventing "sweating" under the wrap.
• Pliable Cold Capsule Technology: Includes specialized inserts that remain flexible even at sub-zero temperatures, ensuring the therapy molds perfectly to the joint's complex shape.
• Dual-Purpose Therapy: Versatile internal inserts are designed for both cryotherapy (icing) to reduce swelling and thermotherapy (heat) to loosen chronic stiffness.
• Targeted Cold Placement: Anatomically positioned internal pockets place the cooling source directly over the medial and lateral aspects of the stifle for maximum therapeutic impact.
• Pro-Grade Durability: Built for the rigors of the stable and clinic, featuring heavy-duty hook-and-loop closures and easy-to-clean materials for daily recovery routines.
• Binary Sizing Options: Available in Pony (ideal for yearlings and small ponies) and Full/Horse (fitting most standard light horses), with adjustable closures for canine crossover use.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I ensure the cold penetrates through a thick horse coat?
A: For maximum effectiveness, use the "Wet Trick." Dampen the hair or skin with a sponge before applying the wrap; water acts as a powerful conductor, helping the cold bypass the insulating fur to reach the joint directly.

Q: Will this wrap stay in place if my horse moves in the wash rack?
A: Yes. The adjustable over-the-back suspender strap is designed specifically to combat the "sliding" issue common with stifle wraps. For extra stability, the strap can be secured to a surcingle or stable rug.

Q: What should I do if the ice inserts feel rigid after being in the freezer?
A: Simply use the "Massage Method." Gently massage the pack for 10–30 seconds to break up the internal crystals. This restores the insert’s pliability, allowing it to mold perfectly to the stifle or knee.
