The Solution Section

What is Hydra-Heal — and how is it different from disinfectants?

Per Hydra-Heal™ (a division of Animal Health Enterprises, LLC): an Aloe Vera-saturated gauze pad (or gel) that helps soothe and promote healing of wounds, abrasions, scratches, summer sores, and mane/tail rubbing.

Per the company: traditional wound-care kills the fungus or disinfects the wound but can damage healthy skin in the process — leading to drying, cracking, bleeding, itching, and rubbing. Hydra-Heal is both antifungal AND antibacterial, but designed to hydrate the wound, promote soft skin, and discourage itching and irritation — promoting healthy healing.

How does the saturated gauze pad work?

Per Hydra-Heal: the 4×4 inch pad can be cut to fit the wound. After cleaning the wound following standard protocol, cover with the Hydra-Heal Wound Care gauze pad, bandage as normal, repeat daily or as indicated by veterinarian.

Per the company, the pad:

Prevents bacterial infection and contamination
Provides a moist wound healing environment
Permeable to air and moisture vapor — for faster wound healing
Sterile and Latex-Free
Gentle to remove without damaging tissues
Can be cut to fit the wound site
Conforms easily to the wound bed

What are the active ingredients — and what does each do?

Per Hydra-Heal:

Aloe Vera — antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, and wound-healing properties. Contains glucomannan, which helps cellular regeneration and prompts collagen production.

Allantoin — extract from the comfrey plant. Relieves irritation; protects minor cuts, scrapes, burns; promotes wound healing; treats skin irritation and rashes; keeps skin moisturized.

Glycerin — mildly antimicrobial and antiviral; FDA-approved treatment for wounds. Draws water from atmosphere to hydrate and soften skin; helps soothe irritation, protect against infection, and promote healing.

What two product formats are available — and what's the price?

Per Hydra-Heal:

4 × 4 Hydra-Heal Saturated Gauze Wound Dressing Pads — only $8. Cut to fit; clean wound first, then cover with pad and bandage as normal. Repeat daily.
Hydra-Heal 1oz Wound Care Squeeze Bottle — only $15. Special applicator delivers ointment directly into the wound. Per the company: "just a few drops of this amazing gel will help keep the wound moist and healing."

Pricing as quoted is subject to change due to economic factors — confirm current pricing with Hydra-Heal directly when ordering.

Can it help run-down wounds on barrel-racing horses?

Per Hydra-Heal: yes. Per the company: run-down burns on the tender pasterns or fetlocks are hard to heal because the area is flexing every day. "Keeping these burns moist helps prevent cracking, scarring and promotes healthy skin and coat."

What's the application sequence — gel first, or pad first?

Per Hydra-Heal:

Gauze pad alone: the pad is already saturated with the gel. "No need to do anything besides clean the wound and put the pad on and vet wrap it on."
Should I clean and treat with antibiotic first? Yes — clean the wound first, then use Hydra-Heal to promote healing.
Daily change? Yes — every 24 hours look at wound and change the pad. You can cut the pad to fit; put the rest back in the package, fold the top, and it stays moist.

What about rainrot, summer sores, and other skin conditions?

Per Hydra-Heal:

Rainrot: clean and use gel on it. Spread it around with fingers.
Summer sores: once the worms are gone, then use Hydra-Heal to heal the open wound.

(Editorial note: as with any wound or skin condition, consult your veterinarian for protocol specific to your horse.)
