Dry the hoof and sole. • Apply the Decron Osmotic Gel liberally over the entire sole and frog. • Place the Decron Orthopaedic Felt Pad over the sole of the hoof. • Wrap the whole hoof with a bandage, ensuring an air tight environment. • If applying the Decron Hoof Boot, position the hoof and Decron pad into the Decron Hoof Boot.

The Decron Osmotic Gel is made from: Glycerine - a powerful osmotic agent that “draws” or pulls fluids. The removal of excess fluid relieves pressure. As pressure around damaged tissue falls, fresh tissue fluids can move into the area, bringing the protective blood cells, oxygen and nutrients necessary to resist infection and support natural healing. Essential Oils – with natural antiseptic and healing properties. Lavender Oil (lavandula angstifolia) – demonstrates strong antiseptic and anti-inflammatory actions. Melaleuca Oil (melaleuca alternfolia) – bacterial and fungicidal properties. Arnica (arnica montana) - topical application for strains and bruises.
