For horses, traumatic limb wound closure is different than for other animals. It is mostly due to the exuberant granulation which can create specific complications.
Many parameters have to be taken into account before choosing the right treatment:

  • size of the injury,
  • location,
  • size,
  • weight of the horse,
  • physical activity and character.

Different treatments of wound healing can be used. One technique has been described for humans. It is the tissue extension.

MID-VET™ has been designed to suture human wounds that cannot be closed with traditional thread at the risk of severing the sides of the wound.

First evaluation of MID-VET™ has been realized on horses for traumatic wounds.

The components of the MID-VET™ kit: elastic silicone thread, silicone wedges and silicone blocker contribute to create a dynamic tissue extension system, adjustable, while protecting the sides of the wound from damages.
