ZAMAR comes to the rescue - we recently received this letter

Dear Patrick,

On tuesday morning I arrived at my yard to find my 2 year old filly cast with her left hind leg stuck 4 feet up in the anti weave grill. From the state of her she had been like this for several hours. Once we cut her free we discovered that her leg was not too bad but her whole right side was swelling rapidly due to her constant attempts to get up and falling back again........... The vet filled her up with steroids, bute and antibiotics but her head continued to swell until we were worried that she may suffocate.
A friend has one of your ZAMAR machines and let me borrow it. After 1 treatment her head started to go down and after 2 more it is normal sized again although still a bit puffy around her eye but she won't let me use it there. We also used it on her shoulder and all 4 legs and the results are impressive.
I don't think that it is going too far to say that this machine possibily saved her life, and within 48 hours her recovery is awe inspiring. Thankyou.
Sarah Williamson

 

SAFETY FIRST FOR THE USE OF COLD TREATMENTS AT EVENTS.

New rules have now been put in place to stop the possible misuse of cold temperatures during competition. As a result all Zamar equipment manufactured after April 07 is fitted with a locking device that can be activated by an FEI official. When activated the locking device stops the unit from going below 0°C. stopping any possible misuse of temperature.

Working closely with John McEwen BVMS, MRCVS, Chairman of the FEI Veterinary Committee and Dr Frits Sluyter FEI Veterinary Director on this project, Zamar Temperature Therapy Treatments have been in the forefront of these developments and changes.

Established in 2004 Zamar became quickly aware that misuse of temperature could become a problem and to insure that this did not happen, began to develop a way to ‘lock’ the units to stop them being used for Cryotherapy at shows and events. Engineers from Zamar srl Italy met with John McEwen and Pat Riley, Zamar’s founder to discuss how to design, manufacture and implement these changes.

Zamar is a company of continual development and as such are always looking of ways to improve our products and services and further innovative, ground breaking developments are planned for the future.
