Hoof Bandage

摘要

The hoof bandage is designed to bandage a hoofed animal's hoof. The hoof bandage includes a base plate with a bottom and at least a front wall portion and a securing element to maintain the base plate on the hoof. The hoof bandage is preferably designed to fit a horse hoof or a cow hoof. The hoof bandage preferably easily slips onto the animal's hoof and is preferably secured by the use of a common household hair dryer to heat the shrink wrap surrounding the animal's hoof. No heating is required in the heel area, as this portion of the hoof is secured with an elastomeric band. Bandaging the hoof is accomplished easily and with less time and considerably fewer problems than with conventional hoof bandaging methods.
