Bonapartix S-PP Front

Same model as Bonapartix® S but includes a Protective Part for the toe

Designed by Professor Jean Marie Denoix, DVM, PhD director of the CIRALE (Normandy, France).

DESCRIPTION :

Same model as the Bonapartix® S but includes a « Protective Part » (PP) for the toe. Rear support under the base of the frog. Front shape. Designed in high-tech aluminium alloy.
Non-tempered alloy : hot work possible up to 450 °C. 2 quarter clips. Thickness 10 mm. Coverage and weight in size 1 : 36 mm for the rear support (42 mm under the base of the frog) and 25 mm on the rest of the shoe. 239 g.

CONCEPT AND REACTION N THE GROUND : 

- Wide rear surface to increase support and to limit sinking of the heels into penetrable and compacted ground. Perforated rear support with holes in staggered rows for easy shaping.
- Bevelled outer rim at the rear part of the shoe to reduce rear leverage.
- Thinned and bevelled toe to promote maximum front rolling while protecting the front part of the foot.
- Bevel on toe quarters to limit collateromotion and rotation during propulsion in turns.

BIOMECHANICAL AND KINETHERAPEUTIC EFFECTS :

Reduces stress on the distal sesamoid bone and on the deep digital flexor tendon. Reduces general stress on the podotrochlear apparatus and interphalangeal joint mechanics.

INDICATIONS :

Shoe indicated for horses that have an excessive wear of the toe with Bonapartix® S open toe. Podotrochlear syndrome grade 3. Pathology of the deep digital flexor tendon and accessory ligament (distal check ligament).
