Horse convalescence mask for veterinary use
In most cases, eye surgery requires special temporary protection once your horse has returned to the stable. Not only will the treated area need to be kept as dust-free as possible, but the horse will also need to avoid scratching the treated area while it heals.
This breathable PVC ophthalmic protection meets all these objectives. It is used by veterinary surgeons in particular after surgery, to wake up sedated horses.
Made of rigid PVC with anti-UV treatment, it insulates and protects your horse's eyes without obstructing his vision. It features vents to promote air circulation and allow the wound to dry. The perimeter of the visor is trimmed with synthetic fur to prevent injury and ensure optimum comfort. A foam cushion is also provided, attached to the lower part of the visor, to prevent injury to the zygomatic processes. 3 straps, including 2 with sheaths, secure the product to the horse's head.
This protection comes with an adaptable anti-insect net, providing perfect second protection against flies when out and about (paddock, meadow) during convalescence.

This mask is recommended or prescribed by equine veterinarians to aid post-operative healing or eye treatment for uveitis, cataracts, ulcers, or any other pathology and/or ocular fragility.
Made in Australia (materials and manufacturing).

Please note:
- It should not be worn if the outside temperature is below -10°. This product, like all rigid products, cannot be worn permanently, and the horse needs to be closely supervised by its keeper.
- If you have taken out an insurance policy covering your horse's veterinary expenses, your insurance company may cover all or part of the cost of eye protection required in the event of an accident or to treat an ophthalmic condition. If this is the case, and subject to the terms and conditions of your policy, your insurance company will require the products to be prescribed by your vet on the prescription you receive.
Horses are not made to wear masks! Check at least once a day that the mask has not moved and that your horse is comfortable with it. We take the greatest care in the manufacture of our products and in the choice of materials, but every horse is different, and it's up to you to check that the equipment you choose (model + size) corresponds to the protection your horse's eyes need.
