Equine Wound Healing Study

Dear Chuck:
Below please find my clinical synopsis of the $100,000 quarter horse case which
was successfully treated with MAXI/GUARD® Zn7™ Equine Wound
Care Formula. Signalment: Weanling quarter horse filly with umbilical wound which measured
3.5 by 2 inches. Abundant granulation tissue was present at time zero and
the wound margins were slightly irregular. Treatment: The wound was cleansed and irrigated, then sprayed with Zn7™
Equine twice daily from 9/29/2000 until 10/13/2000. Healing Response: The wound was completely healed within 21 days.
Zn7™ Equine Formula stimulated an immediate healing response which was clearly
evident at 7 days with good scab formulation and wound margin migration toward
the center of the defect (re-epithelization). The wound healed in an
accelerated fashion (approximately 50% of the expected healing interval).
Zn7™ when applied topically dried in a few minutes leaving the wound with a
thin protective covering of gellant. The wounded tissue did not dry out
excessively. Equine wounds come in many varieties and are common
events. This new neutralized zinc technology is a breakthrough for
veterinarians, horse lovers, and horses. The owner and veterinarian were
greatly impressed with the rapid healing response following the application of
Zn7™ Equine.
Sincerely Yours,
