Cold plasma for hoof cancer and thrush

Cold plasma for hoof cancer and thrush is a modern, gentle therapy that is becoming increasingly important in the treatment of these stubborn hoof diseases. Both hoof cancer and thrush are chronic, often difficult to heal infections caused by bacteria and fungi. They lead to painful inflammation and tissue damage to the hoof.

How does cold plasma work?

Cold plasma is ionized gas that contains reactive oxygen and nitrogen compounds. These have an antimicrobial effect without damaging the surrounding tissue. It effectively fights bacteria, fungi and even multi-resistant germs by destroying their cell membranes.

Advantages for hoof cancer and thrush:

• Effective germ reduction: Cold plasma eliminates pathogens even in hard-to-reach areas of the hoof.
• Promotion of wound healing: The therapy stimulates cell regeneration and supports the formation of healthy tissue.
• Inflammation control: Cold plasma relieves inflammation and reduces pain.
• Painless application: The treatment is non-invasive and is well tolerated by the animal.
• Reduction of antibiotics: It enables treatment without or with reduced use of antibiotics.

Procedure:

First, the affected hoof is thoroughly cleaned and any superfluous tissue is removed.
The cold plasma is then applied to the infected area using a handheld device.
The treatment only takes a few minutes and can be repeated several times depending on the severity.

Additional measures:

In addition to cold plasma therapy, thorough hoof care, appropriate shoeing and good hygiene are crucial to achieving lasting healing. Optimizing the horse's posture and diet can also promote the healing process.

Conclusion:

Cold plasma offers a promising, painless treatment method for hoof cancer and thrush. It not only promotes healing, but also reduces the risk of relapses and the use of antibiotics - an important support in modern animal treatment.
