Perfect Hoof Wear (PHW) is a non-cast, 100% polyester multidirectional fabric tape impregnated with a unique water-activated polyurethane resin that remains slick, allowing for a smooth application. Wraps measure 2"x 4 Yards (5cm x 3.65 m). Each comes in a hermetically sealed foil pouch stamped with a lot number and expiration date. PHW poly wraps have a 2-year shelf life when stored following the manufacturer's recommendations. Each wrap is supplied with three proprietary stainless steel anchors. Anchors eliminate the need for messy, expensive glues. Setup time is about 4 minutes, giving you enough time to apply. It sets up without producing excessive heat, becoming only warm to the touch. Once the resin begins to set, you no longer need gloves, making for an immaculate application. Trimming of the wrap is easy, with no need to rasp the finished application. When used for added protection, the application is as easy as trimming, wrapping, and riding.
Proven Results
With tens of thousands of Perfect Hoof Wear being sold over the past 10 years, the results speak for themselves.
Performance
- Unlike fiberglass or fiberglass composite type casting tapes, PHW remains flexible after curing and possesses elastic potential that closely mimics the hoof capsule. PHW essentially becomes an exoskeleton.
- PHW Shortens Recovery Times, providing dynamic stability while supporting correct circulation and lymphatic function.
- PHW stimulates hoof wall growth by allowing for three-dimensional distortion. An increase of up to 200% over the normal growth rate has been seen. We frequently receive testimonials stating complete dorsal wall growth in just 7 months.
- PHW will not promote bacterial growth.
- PHW Enhances Performance with its low rebound characteristics, effectively dispersing the energies created upon impact, protecting the internal foot.
- PHW is impervious to mud and water. It is excellent for use in wet environments, where glue-on applications often fail.
- PHW is applied using proprietary patent-pending anchors, eliminating the need for expensive and often unreliable glues. This system is time-tested, having been used in the application of tens of thousands of poly wraps over the past decade.
- PHW anchor system allows you to treat the hoof topically without worrying about glue failure.
- PHW is radiolucent—no need to remove PHW when taking x-rays.
- PHW has excellent wear characteristics, often lasting 4 to 5 weeks when used for rehabilitation.
- PHW is the perfect foundation for applying performance horseshoes. A flexible horseshoe can be affixed by nailing or other means.
- PHW is ideally suited for creating specialty orthotics and custom boots.
- PHW is Economical, eliminating the need to stock expensive glues, glue tips, and glue guns. PHW can effectively replace all glue-on applications.
- PHW is excellent for protecting the hoof that has lost a shoe. Keep a PHW in your saddlebag for emergencies.
