Which Equi-lift model is best for lifting a recumbent horse?

The Model Classic is the ideal choice. The deflated cushion is positioned beneath the horse while it is lying in lateral recumbency and inflated within four to five minutes. It is highly effective for horses suffering from osteoarthritis, trauma, myopathy or fractures.

Which Equi-lift model is designed for surgery?

Model M is a custom-built inflatable surgical support mattress designed specifically for equine operating theatres. It helps reduce the risk of myopathy and muscle crush syndrome, particularly during lengthy procedures involving athletic or heavily muscled horses.

How can post-anaesthetic recovery be made safer for horses?

The Model RC was developed specifically for recovery following general anaesthesia. Around 32% of anaesthesia-related fatalities occur during this critical period. Equi-lift RC supports the horse in a natural physiological position until it can stand safely on its own, helping reduce the risk of fractures and other traumatic injuries.

Model Classic

As veterinarians, we are frequently called to assist horses that are recumbent and unable to stand. In many of these everyday situations, the Equi-lift cushion can significantly improve treatment outcomes and recovery prospects.

The system is particularly effective in cases involving:

Osteoarthritis;
Trauma;
Myopathy;
Fractures;
...

The Equi-lift cushion is also invaluable for animal rescue teams and fire services that regularly respond to emergencies involving large animals.

The Equi-lift Model Classic is fitted with lifting straps and anchor points, allowing the inflatable system and the animal to be lifted safely together.

The Equi-lift Model Classic can also be used as a portable surgical support platform for field procedures.

Model M

Surgical procedures on recumbent animals are performed either on an operating table or on specially prepared floor surfaces. Even with padded operating tables, the support surface remains relatively firm.

Model M was developed in collaboration with equine surgeons to reduce the risk of myopathy and muscle crush syndrome, particularly during lengthy procedures involving athletic or heavily muscled horses.

Model RC

Recovery from anaesthesia begins when the horse is disconnected from the anaesthesia machine and ends once it is safely standing. Approximately 32% of anaesthesia-related fatalities occur during this critical phase, making close supervision essential while also presenting significant risks for veterinary staff.

The Equi-lift Model RC provides optimal support throughout anaesthetic recovery, significantly reducing the risk of injury and fractures for both the horse and the veterinary team.

Equi-lift helps reduce post-anaesthetic neuropathies by supporting the horse within a protected environment until it is able to stand safely on its own.
