SANCTUARY :: Bleeders & COPD Heaves
Hyperbaric Chamber
-Hyperbaric oxygen therapy increases the oxygen levels in the horses body 12-15 times the normal amount.
-The increased pressure causes the oxygen to dissolve into the plasma, which allows it to diffuse into the tissue better.
-This elevated oxygen saturation stimulates the turnover of cells, increases blood supply, kills bacteria, enhances the effects of antibiotics, reduces swelling, salvages damaged tissue and bone, stimulates collagen production and improves skin growth.
Transpirator II and Equisilver Veterinary Aerosol
- The Transpirator II delivers pure water vapor (water in its gas state) into the entire respiratory tract, at a precisely controlled temperature. This 100% humidity penetrates into the entire lung, reaching the deepest and smallest airways.
- Prevents airway heat and water loss and deposits a thin film of condensation on the walls of the respiratory tract. Retained water thins the mucous blanket, dissolves mucous plugs and helps expel the excess mucous and in most cases bacteria living in the lungs.
- With the addition of Equisilver Veterinary Aerosol (Chelated Silver) which bonds with the water vapor, the number of treatments and duration of each treatment has been substantially reduced. The Equisilver is active against all types of micro-organisms, bacteria, fungi and viruses.
- Especially beneficial to “Bleeders” by helping to repair and heal the airway passages.
