Equine Frog Support System
US Patent:
5706898, Jan 13, 1998
Filed:
May 12, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/440537
Inventors:
Ralph Eugene Beadle - Baton Rouge LA
Assignee:
Board of Supervisors of Louisiana State University and Agricultural &
Mech. College - Baton Rouge LA
Mech. College - Baton Rouge LA
International Classification:
A01L 500
US Classification:
168 28
Abstract:
An equine frog support system, comprising a support base constructed of a material, preferably a thermoplastic material, molded to conform to the frog and collateral sulci of an equine foot, the material being sufficiently rigid and fully elastic during the use thereof to support the frog and the collateral sulci; and a wrapping or other device for holding the support base against the foot. Preferably, the support base is shaped to support only the frog and collateral sulci of the foot. Also, a method for treating equine laminitis is provided, comprising the steps of placing a softened hardenable material, preferably a thermoplastic material, over the frog and collateral sulci of an equine foot. While the material is in a softened state, the animal is caused to place weight on the affected foot, thereby compressing the material between the ground and the foot. The compressed material is allowed to conform to the frog and the collateral sulci until the material hardens, thereby forming a substantially rigid and fully elastic support base, after which the support base is secured to the foot.
