Equifit GelCompression BackPack

We love the EquiFit GelCompression Therapy Line because it reduces inflammation, controls swelling, and decreases the risk of injury.

GelPaks adhere to an outer shell that provides air compression via a hand pump and retains intense cold/heat while conforming and remaining pliable out of the freezer. Eliminate the bulk of machines and cables associated with traditional cold therapy applications. The EquiFit GelCompression Therapy Line consists of TendonBoot™, HockBoot™, KneeBoot™, and BackPack™.

• Reduces inflammation, controls swelling, decreases injury risk
• Ideal for rehabilitation and post-exercise treatment
• GelPaks conform to the body with optional and adjustable air compression
• Use on multiple horses with removable, quick-freezing or heating GelPaks

Cold Therapy Application Procedure
