As our understanding of how horse’s bodies work advances, so do the products that we can use to treat them. In recent years hypochlorous acid, a substance that occurs as part of the immune system’s response to trauma, has been synthesised and stabilised in the form of Hypocare, a stable anti-bacterial spray that mirrors the body’s immune system.

Working naturally with the body, Hypocare rapidly destroys the DNA and RNA of pathogens associated with bacterial, viral and fungal infections and it can be used to clean and flush wounds, sweetitch, ringworm, mud fever and thrush. It can also be used to maintain healthy, itch free skin.

Hypocare is up to 300 times more effective at destroying pathogens than bleach and yet is kind to healthy tissue and has a naturally non-sensitising skin neutral pH of 5.5. It’s safe to use on any mammal and is safe if ingested, so you don’t need to worry about them licking the affected area. Because it doesn’t sting it’s perfect for sensitive, nervous or young animals.

Links to the clinical research that backs up these claims please.

I do not understand how a product with such a minute concentration of the "active" ingredient can claim to destroy bacterial, fungal and viral conditions - and it concerns me that the unsuspecting may choose to use this rather than seeking veterinary attention. It's a (rather expensive) wound-wash, which is fine if there's a market for it - but I find the marketing somewhat misleading.

Unless, of course, they are able to provide evidence, in which case I will apologise unreservedly, and go straight out to buy some...
 
. Tiny wounds can be catastrophic, and this kind of marketing gives false confidence and is not the single solution to heal wounds. one of these days someone's horse is going to be pts because marketing is able to override common sense. From one who knows the cost of production of these products The price tag that comes with these sprays is borderline outrageous and takin the p out of horse owners who want to do their best for their horses. :rolleyes:
 
I sometimes wonder how my horses have survived - their wounds get washed with saline - again salt being a very natural component of all living tissue.

This was only ever washed with saline and has gone from this to this in a few months - no infection at all! And very cheaply

Gets used on people, treatment of chronic leg ulcers and other wounds that don't heal, a number of studies show good effect when used for this reason
 
Again I would like to see double blinded placebo clinical trial data provided before horse and hound forums are used as advertising and marketing platforms-we are not allowed to advertise on here!!! Saline wash and the correct conditions for healing and the body has an amazing way of healing itself!
 
Hi everyone,

We would never recommend that anyone use Hypocare as a substitute for veterinary attention, rather we believe that Hypocare can be used as an effective anti-bacterial and anti-fungal wound care product after the necessary veterinary advice has been given, or in the case of minor problems where veterinary attention isn’t required.

Our consultant advisory vet agrees that every injury should be taken seriously and the owner should always decide when their horse needs veterinary attention. If you wish to use Hypocare to wash wounds and/or injuries as part of the initial first aid response and for on-going maintenance during the healing process, it will greatly reduce the risk of pathogen ingress and subsequent infection.

All Hypocare products are manufactured in white room conditions under ISO 13485 accreditation to exacting standards in a dedicated UK facility which is approved for the manufacture of a Class 111 medical device technology. Hypocare technology is CE marked and approved for use in product types 2,3,4,5 and 11 of the Biocide Products Directive.

A range of peer reviewed papers are acknowledged on the efficacy and mode of action of our active ingredient: Hypochlorous Acid.

As to the amount of active needed to be effective against pathogens, the manufacturers of Hypocare also manufacture hypochlorous technologies for human wound treatment, clean room disinfection, environmental infection control, food preparation and for the use in water treatment. The water treatment technology is identical to Hypocare in its chemical makeup and is being used by many NHS hospitals in the treatment of their water systems particularly in the Intensive Treatment Unit facilities. Where there are serious water condition concerns a shock dose of 4 ppm is administered and then a maintenance dose of 0.5 ppm ensures the total eradication of all total viable count's, legionella and pseudonomas. This technology is also being used by many of the UK's largest companies.

If you would like to know more and for a complete list of peer reviewed papers please email us at info@hypocare.com

Thank you all for your feedback, it helps us to make our products better for our horses and pets.
 
I have it and have used it on my WB last winter when he had thrush and it worked very well. It didn't sting which meant he was happy for me to apply it to some deep cracks in his heels and they healed quickly. I am currently using it on some open sores on my itchy cob and again she is not objecting as it doesn't sting.
It's expensive yes, but what 'horse product' isn't?
 
I bought the big bottles a couple of times to treat thrush and mudfever on horses and while its a nice enough product, it certainly doesn't live up to the scientific claims used in the marketing hype.
I've gone back to using time tested remedies like saline, vinegar, sudocrem, honey, Stockholm tar etc, etc which work equally as well without the price tag.

I do get irritated by being taken in by products that make claims that don't stand up in reality.

Try Nizoral for your mudfever problems - it does work!
 
I've bought the smallest available quantity: am a YO with two of my own - so we will see whether the hype is just that i.e. p!ss and wind, or whether it actually works.

Having said that....... IMO its an outrageous price for what looks like, basically, water. TBH I would have thought if you've got a wound, personally I'd go for the tried and trusted like saline or Hibiscrub - especially if you're going to be using a lot of it you don't want to be p!ddling around with spraying on a lot of expensive stuff on a twice daily basis??
 
Why am I suspicious of anything on the Internet that reads like an email from a Nigerian official who has chosen me to be the recipient of some unclaimed millions?
 
I've used it and found it effective, but hard sell marketing does you no favours at all.

Good horse products should have no problem being promoted organically through word of mouth. Hard sell makes it look like you don't have confidence in what you're selling ...
