Professional Equine Hoof Casting Material

This premium casting tape is designed specifically for veterinary and farrier applications, offering superior strength and durability for equine hoof repair.

🏆 Why OrthoHoof is Different from Traditional Casting Tape

Enhanced Polyurethane Resin Formula

OrthoHoof contains more polyurethane resin compared to traditional casting tape, delivering superior performance specifically engineered for hoof casting applications:

🔗 Stickier Adhesion: Extra resin content creates stronger bonding to the hoof wall for reliable, long-lasting repairs
💪 Superior Strength: Enhanced resin concentration provides exceptional durability to withstand the unique demands of equine hoof movement and weight-bearing
🎯 Optimized for Hooves: Formulated specifically for hoof casting rather than general orthopedic use

This specialized formulation makes OrthoHoof the preferred choice for veterinarians and farriers who demand maximum performance in challenging hoof repair applications.

Why Choose OrthoHoof for Hoof Casting?

Superior Strength: High-tensile fiberglass construction provides exceptional support for quarter crack stabilization and hoof wall reinforcement
Flexible Application: Conforms easily to hoof contours while maintaining structural integrity during curing
Fast Setting: Water-activated polyurethane resin sets quickly for efficient application in clinical and field settings
Durable Protection: Weather-resistant cast material withstands moisture, mud, and daily wear in equine environments
Professional Grade: Trusted by veterinarians and certified farriers for critical hoof repair procedures

Polyester vs Fiberglass Hoof Cast Comparison

Understanding the differences between polyester and fiberglass casting materials helps you choose the right product for your specific equine hoof repair needs.

Feature	Polyester Hoof Cast (OrthoHoof)	Fiberglass Hoof Cast (OrthoHoof)
Material & Resin	Polyester fabric impregnated with polyurethane resin	Fiberglass fabric impregnated with polyurethane resin
Flexibility/Rigidity	More pliable and flexible. Softer application, but not a soft cast	More rigid application. Provides firmer structural support
Durability	Superior abrasion resistance. Better withstands wear from movement and rough terrain	Tends to be more brittle and may crack at the heels with excessive movement
Recommended Use	Best for active horses: Horses that move frequently Horses on hard or rocky ground Hooves prone to twisting Horses who may resent heel constriction	Best for restricted movement: When maximum rigidity is needed Laminitic horses (early rehab) Some navicular cases Horses with minimal movement

💡 Professional Recommendation

OrthoHoof Polyester casting tape is our most popular option due to its superior abrasion resistance and flexibility, making it ideal for the majority of equine hoof repair applications. It performs exceptionally well for active horses and those on challenging terrain. For cases requiring maximum rigidity with minimal movement, fiberglass remains an excellent choice.
