How these Systems Work
The VitalWear VitalWrap System is comprised of a control unit, a tubing set and a thermal wrap. This VitalWrap is the part of the system that you actually apply to the body to provide thermal therapy. The wrap can be applied to virtually any area of the body that can be treated with a compressive bandage.

Setting up the system is a simple three-step process. (1) The user first fills the portable, leak-proof container of the control unit with ice and water (water only when using heating application of VitalWrap), (2) then applies the VitalWrap around the injured area and secures it with its Velcro® closure, and (3) finally, attaches the control unit to the wrap via the tubing set.

Once the control unit is turned on, cooled or warmed fluid is passed through the tubing set from the control unit to the wrap. The fluid is then circulated through the wrap, drawing heat from or applying to the body and deeply cooling or heating the body part. The fluid is then passed back through the tubing set to the control unit where it is re-cooled or re-warmed and then re-circulated back to the wrap.

Stall & Stable Vices

Horses are natural pasture animals. Their typical activities include grazing anywhere from 12-16 hours a day, walking, and playing with other horses. Confined to stalls for long periods of time, horses can develop negative behavioral vices.

Cribbing Dangers & Prevention

Nothing is more disconcerting to horse owners than a horse behavior that is both repetitive and harmful. A stall vice is one such behavior. Stall vices can affect your horse's dependability and/or health, and once a vice is set, it's hard to break.
