What the professionals are saying

Prevention
The
EquifaceTMSaver will cut down on costly veterinary bills. It
will prevent and protect against facial and poll damage. It will protect
your horse against ugly scaring and malformation of facial tissues and
features. It offers maximum protection without impeding the field of
vision or interrupting the natural breathing of the horse.
The extensive areas of equine head coverage are the Poll, the Occipital, the Parietal, the Temporal, the Supra Orbital, the Frontal Sinus, a substantial portion of the Dorsal Nasal region, and the Maxillia.
The skeleton of the horse is made up of 205 bones. The skull alone has 34 bones, making it the 5th largest concentration of bones. Generally when wounds occur on the front of the face area, it happens to the skin on bone, making it very painful for the horse. There is no muscle on the front of the face to cushion the blows from trauma.
When
an injury occurs on the face, there is generally a lot of blood flow,
which is good for healing, but it can be hard to stop and control,
especially when the horse is in intense pain. Injuries on a horses face
are difficult wounds to suture and care for. If a horse has punctured or
injured his face to the bone, there is a substantial risk of infection
to the bone, if not treated properly by a veterinarian. This type of
injury can be costly and lengthy to treat, and can lead to death.
The
EquifaceTMSaver can pay for itself in a single use when
compared to unexpected and costly veterinarian bills.
"The Equiface Saver is an innovative method that clearly augments
reconstructive surgery and repair of facial injuries in the horse. After
careful and skilled facial surgery with appropriate, clean wound
covering, the Equiface Saver adds a layer of protective insurance over
the facial injury. The cushioning effect found in the under-layer of
matting protects the sensitive tissues just repaired. I see it as a
logical approach to face-wound protection in the horse which allows for
painless, quick, and important observation of the wound site, surgical
repair, and surrounding affected tissues."
