IBEX BABI-CUFF - A FOAL SHOE CUFF WITH 4 EXTENSIONS - SIZE 1-4
The Ibex Babi-Cuff is designed to help correct flexural deformities in foals and young horses. Contracted or collapsed tendons, valgus deviations and medial/lateral hoof growth deformities. The cuff has 4 extensions moulded upon a small steel eggbar which provides stability and support and allows adjustment. You can easily adjust the shoe by simply trim and rasp the extensions that are not required.
Apply with Vettec Adhere for best result.
Make sure to prepare the hoof and dry the hoof before gluing.
This universal corrective shoe can be applied as toe, heel, lateral are medial extention for foals.
1. Prepare the hoof the same way as for an extension. Remove anything loose, flaky, shelly or diseased.
2. Prepare the cuff. The extentions that are not required can easily be cut off. Simply trim, rasp or linish the extensions that are not required. Check the needed size of the shoe on the foot. If needed widen of narrow the shoe by simply hammer as a normal bar shoe.
3. Heat the cuff with a hot air gun to allow the plastic to become flexible and soft. Whilst warm, place the cuff on the hoof to achieve an accurate form of the cuff to the hoof.
4. Dry the hoof. Note that the sole is pared out, and all loose structure is being removed. DO NOT over-pare the sole.
5. Apply Adhere as soon as you’re done drying. This means having the cartridge, the gun and cuff ready.
6. Adhere sets in 1 minute and is weight bearing in 4 to 5 minutes.
7. Trim to suit for optimum support.
! Do note to check the shoe and its fit reguarly since the feet of a foal increase fast. On no account should the cuff be left on for more than 21 days.
