CM™ Equine Products makes the patented CM Heal Belt — a non-invasive abdominal pressure and hernia belt that supports a horse’s belly after colic surgery and helps reduce umbilical and post-surgical hernias without further surgery. It is designed for horse owners, breeders, and veterinary teams who need steady, even support along the incision line during recovery. The belt can be fitted and adjusted by a single person and is sized for everything from two-week-old foals to full-grown horses. To order or get sizing help, contact CM Equine Products in Norco, California, or order online through their website.
CM Equine Products manufactures the CM Heal Belt, which the company describes as the original abdominal pressure and hernia-reduction bandage for horses. The belt is built from brushed cotton for easy cleaning, with velcro and canvas straps that hold constant, even support along the length of the abdomen. A special pocket and manipulating device applies targeted pressure to help close areas that have herniated. The company offers a full range of sizes — Foal Belts (F1 through F4, including colic versions) for girths from roughly 35" up, and Horse Belts (E1 through E4) for girths up to the 88–98" range — along with matching saddle pads, breast collars, and long-strap sets.
According to CM Equine Products, the belt is used in three main situations: as an umbilical-style belt for foals from about two weeks of age, as a post-surgical colic abdominal pressure bandage, and as a custom abdominal hernia belt. The company says the design gives even pressure along the incision area after colic surgery to support a more rapid, complete recovery, and that the manipulating device aids in closing hernias that might otherwise require surgery. CM reports its belts are used in universities, veterinary clinics, and teaching hospitals worldwide. As with any post-surgical or hernia care, owners should use the belt under the guidance of their veterinarian.
"This Method Works and I will continue to support this product, working to close large hernias that would have required surgery." Dr. Michael D. Williams, DVM, Norco, CA
The belt is designed for single-person installation and to preserve the horse’s natural movement while it is worn. CM Equine provides a How to Measure guide so owners can match girth and topline measurements to the correct Foal or Horse Belt size, and the company offers custom modifications when a standard size is not a perfect fit. Pricing is handled directly — CM Equine asks customers to call or text for current pricing, and veterinary and multi-order discounts are available. Orders can be placed online or by phone through CM Equine Products in Norco, California.
