NANRIC Ultimate NANRIC Ultimate
NANRIC Ultimate – Emergency Laminitis Support Device
Price per pair. Available in multiple sizes.
The NANRIC Ultimate is a specialized hoof support device engineered for the emergency treatment of acute laminitis in horses. This innovative product is designed to reduce or prevent coffin bone displacement, rotation, and sinking, providing immediate mechanical support when time is critical.
Key Features & Benefits
- One-Piece Cuff and Base Wedge: Simplifies the wean-down process and ensures secure, stable application.
- Dual-Pad System: The second pad delivers an approximate 18° palmar angle (PA), closely matching the original Modified Ultimate for optimal hoof mechanics.
- Customizable Breakover: Easily adjust breakover with a rasp or grinder to further reduce deep digital flexor (DDF) tension and enhance blood flow.
- Strong, Durable Base: Thick base construction supports compromised feet, especially after the bottom pad is removed.
- Multiple Application Methods: Can be bandaged on for close monitoring with x-rays and venograms, or glued on for less severe cases.
Clinical Guidance
- Immediate Use: Apply at the onset of laminitis for best results. Always treat acute laminitis as an emergency.
- Monitoring: Use initial and follow-up x-rays and venograms during the first 30–45 days to track progress or disease progression.
- Mechanics Adjustment: Increase mechanical support if disease becomes chronic or worsens. Consider DDF tenotomy with derotation shoeing if vascular patterns deteriorate.
- Reducing DDF Tension: Only reduce mechanics when sole growth is steady, the horse is sound, and anti-inflammatories are no longer needed.
Best Practices
- Strict Stall Rest: Essential for maximizing circulation and healing. Avoid exercise and turnout while using anti-inflammatories.
- Ongoing Monitoring: Track horn and sole growth with x-rays and venograms. Do not remove the first wedge or allow turnout while on anti-inflammatories.
