Matrix Therapy Products has a new iontophoresis product that allows for quick, unattended treatments to non-invasively administer medication. Iontophoresis is great for resolving ringbone and ligament injuries, and the ActivaPatch and IontoPatch make it easy to apply treatments.
The iontophoresis patches are comfortable, non-invasive drug delivery systems that are ideal for equine use to treat some locations. By phoresing, you’re able to eliminate needles, which reduces the potential of infection and tissue damage. Once the ActivaPatch is filled with medication, it is placed directly over the target tissues and left in place for 2.5 hours. The IontoPatch is used in the same manner and the new version has been upgraded to now complete transfer in just 4 hours rather than the previous 14 hours.
When shoeing issues are corrected and a horse receives iontophoresis treatments, then ringbone is often able to be resolved. This has successfully returned horses to soundness, and even saving competitive careers. Treatments are cost-efficient, especially when considering the effectiveness and possible results. The ActivaPatch or IontoPatch can be used to easily manage long-term conditions, as well as expedite the healing process of acute injuries.
