Extend-A- Cool is a transdermal cooling sheet that can provide immediate cooling action for up to six hours, reducing body temperature locally by as much as 6-8 degrees F/minus 11- minus 13 degrees C.
The cooling sheet is 8”W x 11”L (20cm x 28cm).
Extend-A-Cool helps relieve sore shins, osslets, and inflammation of muscles and tendons that result from strenuous activity. Extend-A-Cool can also help reduce the swelling and discomfort that comes from acute sprains and bruises.
Extend-A-Cool can be used before and after an event, after strenuous training or exercise, during transportation, as First Aid on the trail, and after endurance events.

Cooling action begins as soon as the package is opened and the cellophane cover is removed from the Cooling Sheet.
If you only use the product for an hour or two, replace the cellophane cover and place the product in a sealable plastic bag. The cooling action will stop and the product can be used later if applied to the same horse’s leg.
Re-using the cooling sheet is recommended due to the risk of Bacterial Dermatitis.
Product is air activated
Do not cover the Cooling Sheet with wraps or boots since air may not be able to reach the Cooling Sheet. Applying the adhesive layer to the mammal’s extremity results in the evaporation of the moisture in the cooling sheet, and the vaporization heat therefore causes the skin temperature to rapidly decline immediately after the adhering of the cooling sheet. It is important that the cooling sheet be allowed to breathe by using the Extend-A-Cool Mesh Wrap which is designed to complement the cooling sheet.
The cooling effect commences within 15 min, reducing the temperature of the leg up to approximately 6-8 degrees F/minus 11 – minus 13 degrees C over a 6-8 hour time period.
In emergencies, the product can be held onto the horse’s extremity using tape applied to either end of the product.
Storage and Handling
Accidental puncture of the packaging will result in the product drying out.
Package product will withstand freezing and hot temperature (up to 150 degree F/65.5 degrees C) without loosing it’s effectiveness. We do recommend that the product be stored at normal room temperature when possible to ensure the best results.
“Transdermal”
