DURAHEEL Hoof Support consists of patches made from carbon fibre composite sheets, which are used to increase the bending strength of the equine hoof wall, thereby helping to prevent heel collapse or deformation. It was designed by farriers and the locomotor research group at the Royal Veterinary College. (This Product was earlier known as Vetcell HSP – Hoof Support Patch)
DuraHeel is bonded, using standard farriery adhesives, to the hoof wall on each side of the heel following basic preparation. DuraHeel is removed with a light rasp and a new set should be fitted at each shoeing.
1 pack contains two pairs of heel supports (4 pcs.)
