What is Cryotherapy?
Cryotherapy is cold treatment. Cryotherapy is the use of cold to remove heat from the tissue in case of inflammation or feverish processes. Cryotherapy is one of the oldest forms of therapy, having been in use since antiquity.

Cryotherapy is widely used today in traumatology and sports medicine.

What are the effects of Cryotherapy?
Thermosteresis (heat removal) is used for all indications applicable in human medicine. (all stages of acute inflammation, acute post-traumatic or feverish states).

STÜBBEN KRYO KOMPAKT HORSE cold compress has much to offer. The compress has proved extremely effective in postoperative applications, for preventing swelling and pain, in the acute treatment of oedemas, haematomas and swelling of the tendons.

In addition acute inflammatory processes such as phlegmon, tendinitis and tenosynovitis.

Warmth removal will only be effective if a cold medium at an optimal low temperature is placed on the organ concerned for a sufficient long period of time.

The tissue treated will then be better supplied with blood, inflammation and pain will increase. A suitable medium is required for thermosteresis (heat removal).

As tests have shown, the product STÜBBEN KRYO KOMPAKT HORSE is ideally suited for this purpose. It is a specially developed cold medium containing microcrystalline ice when frozen (about 50% volume by weight).

It makes a lasting removal of heat possible, and since the development of the cold is slowed down there is no danger of frost injury.

The cold mass remains free of pieces of sharp ice and troublesome meltwater Even at contact temperatures (down to minus 22 degrees Celsius) it is readily mouldable and agreeably soft.

Studies have shown that after local application for about 30 minutes, a reduction of body temperature by more than 10 degrees Celsius is reached. This is within the therapeutically desired range. In addition this level is maintained for more than 3 hours.

These impressive test results are evidence that STÜBBEN KRYO KOMPAKT HORSE has the qualities which are required on scientific grounds and that it is extraordinarily suitable for effective long-term cryotherapy.

When can STÜBBEN KRYO KOMPAKT HORSE be used?

• Prevention and regeneration after training, competition and riding.

• Application to small animals strains, haemorrhage, phantom pregnancies in dogs, trauma, inflammation (udder and the like) acute treatment, first aid.

How is the cold compress constructed?

Stubben have spent years of research and developmen to develop a soft, almost creamy mass which is malleable and “doughy” even when chilled.

The advantages are the highest possible degree of skin tolerance with no sharp pieces of ice, no moisture, and with easy shaping even at low temperatures down to minus 22 degrees Celsius.

(German federal patent number 3141191).
