THE NEW EQUINE ICE & COMPRESSION THERAPY MACHINE FROM VETLIG.
The Vetlig Cold Therapy machine is clinically proven to reduce swelling, pain, and inflammation with continuous cold flow and intermittent compression, making it an essential tool for equine sports medicine and recovery. There many clinical papers on equine, small animal and a huge number on human patients, showing the benefit of ice/cold therapy and compression. It is the gold standard in human atheletes and we think animals should benefit too.
New Cold Therapy machine for equine performance and rehabilitation.
- Reducing inflammation by moving swelling away from the area allows fresh blood to come back into that part and repair the damage.
- Recovery after canter work, cross country.
- Repair damaged tissues by stimulating the blood and lymphatic fluid movement.
- Reducing recovery time and protect old injuries from reoccurring.
- Continuous flow cold treatment is superior than the use of crushed ice for control of postoperative pain in human patients.
- There may also be indications for laminitis, but please consult your vet.

Continuous flow cold therapy ensures precise and consistent cooling without the risks associated with ice wraps or frozen products. No skin or tissue damage; it never goes below zero. The temperature is displayed at all times.
HOW DOES THE VETLIG SYSTEM WORK?
Unlike ice wraps, gel boots, or cold water boots, which offer short-lived effects, our machine provides consistent cooling that prevents tendons and muscles from reheating and causing inflammation. It also offers adjustable compression levels, ensuring tailored treatment for your horse.
ACTIVE CRYOTHERAPY
Rapidly circulating ice water continuously and consistently cools the affected site.
INTERMITTENT COMPRESSION
Pneumatic compression mimics natural muscle contractions with five levels of compression.
CIRCUMFERENTIAL COVERAGE
Equine wraps provide enhanced anatomical coverage for tenon, hock or knee treatments.
COOLING
Clinical evidence shows that cold therapy and compression are more effective by getting the core temperature of the area treated down faster and for longer. Unlike ice boots, which can heat up the area again.
PORTABLE CONVENIENCE
With a battery pack and carry bag, the system is portable for use in stables, lorrys, and events with a 5-8 hour run time.
Affordable Packages for Professional Equine Recovery
Tailored to meet the needs of equine professionals, each package is designed to provide everything you need for immediate use.

EASY AND INTUITIVE SETUP
Designed for ease of use, the VETLIG machine is lightweight, portable, and operates on mains power or a rechargeable battery pack, making it suitable for stable yards, transport, or competition grounds. See video for set up of the machine.
WRAP VERSATILITY.
Our wraps are designed to treat tendons on both front legs simultaneously, or a single hock ensuring effective and time-saving treatment. Cold therapy combined with intermittent compression is proven to be significantly more effective than cold or compression alone.
VETLIG COLD THERAPY BENEFITS & SPECIFICATIONS
- Key benefits include reducing inflammation, aiding recovery post-exercise, and repairing damaged tissues by stimulating blood and lymphatic fluid movement.
- With five levels of compression and a large LCD display, the VETLIG machine offers 15-120 minute programmable run times, 6-8 hours of cold therapy with its insulated container, and waterproof durability for field use.
ADJUSTABLE COMPRESSION
Three settings of cyclical pneumatic (air) compression or the option of no compression:
- High (5 to 75 mm Hg)
Approximately 2 to 3 minutes of inflation and 1 minute of deflation. - Medium (5 to 50 mm Hg)
Approximately 2 to 3 minutes of inflation and 1 minute of deflation. - Low (5 to 15 mm Hg)
Approximately 4 to 5 minutes of inflation and 1 minute of deflation. - None
ADJUSTABLE SET-POINT COLD
Provides consistent temperature across the wrap. Cold therapy between 35°F to 50°F (when control unit reservoir full of ice).
DIGITAL TIMER & PRESET PROTOCOLS
For convenient management and treatment of time, without having to continually monitor the system, the Timer can be set for a specific treatment time up to 90 minutes or use one of the available programs which continuously alternate between treatment and rest cycles. Available preset programs include:
- Program 1 30 minutes on, 30 minutes sleep. No pressure.
- Program 2 30 minutes on, 30 minutes sleep. Low pressure.
- Program 3 30 minutes on, 30 minutes sleep. Medium pressure.
- Program 4 30 minutes on, 60 minutes sleep. No pressure.
- Program 5 30 minutes on, 60 minutes sleep. Low pressure.
- Program 6 30 minutes on, 60 minutes sleep. Medium pressure.
