WOUNDS & SOFT-TISSUE INJURY
Support the healing process.
Horses frequently sustain cuts, abrasions and wounds—particularly on the lower limbs.
Potential applications
• Superficial wounds
• Abrasions
• Lacerations
• Granulation tissue management
• Post-surgical wound support
• Soft-tissue injury
Treatment approach
Laser therapy should be used as an adjunct to appropriate wound management, including cleaning, veterinary treatment, bandaging and infection control where required.
Research into equine wounds has investigated photobiomodulation as a supportive treatment, but wound-management protocols and laser parameters vary considerably between studies.
AEL IR 4400
Non-invasive infrared laser therapy that can be incorporated into a comprehensive wound-care program.
IMPORTANT: Deep wounds, contaminated wounds, wounds involving joints/tendons, excessive granulation tissue, infection or wounds that are not healing normally require veterinary assessment.
