ITHACA, NY – July 25, 2011– ZetrOZ, LLC. Is pleased to announce the launch of its new UltrOZ™ Elite Therapy System and has selected FarmVet, a large direct distributor of equine products, as one of its initial distributors. Farmvet has both an online and on-the-ground presence.
UltrOZ™ is the first wearable therapeutic ultrasound system for the equine market. At about the size of an Ipod™, these battery powered systems fit within a specially engineered neoprene leg wraps. Horses can rest or feed in the pasture unencumbered while receiving up to six hours of unsupervised ultrasound therapy.
UltrOZ™ changes the ultrasound therapy paradigm
Ultrasound has been in use by equine veterinarians for years as an effective non-pharmaceutical method of reducing inflammation and promoting healing. UltrOZ™ changes the ultrasound therapy paradigm by outperforming traditional bulky ultrasound device in size, ease of use and effectiveness. UltrOZ™ is simple to attach to the horse and provides a comfortable healing and pain therapy.
An estimated two out of every three competitive horses will suffer an injury or chronic condition during their lifetime that can benefit from prolonged ultrasound therapy. UltrOZ™ is recommended for use on tendon Injury, splints, muscle tear, arthritis and bone fracture repair. UltrOZ™ therapy is entirely non-pharmaceutical and can be used on performance horses without risk of side effects or testing complications.
Ultrasound is a proven therapeutic technology
Ultrasound is acoustic wave energy that stimulate cellular activity through mechanical vibrations that micro-massage tissue at a cellular level. Ultrasound accelerates and compresses the inflammatory phase of healing, increases local circulation, increases cellular permeability, increases collagen synthesis, decreases edema, and causes the release of endorphins, enkephalins, and serotonin for pain control. UltrOZ’s unique and versatile system provides a consistent, controlled, easy to use method of providing long term ultrasound therapy.
The UltrOZ™ Elite Therapy system underwent testing by well renowned equine veterinarians and equine therapists at Rood and Riddle and Hagyard Equine Hospitals. Reported effects included significantly increased bone healing, quick reductions in inflammation due to splints, and increased rates of healing in tendon and ligament injuries.
