Angel's Severe Leg Wound Recovery

BIOPTRON in the field of veterinary - wound healing of a dressage pony

Mrs. Lydecken is the owner of a pony called Angel.

Earlier this year, on 20.01.2020, an accident happened in Angel's stable and she was found with her leg stuck between the door in her box early in the morning. After freeing her leg, a large, horrific wound was revealed.

No one believed she would be able to get well again.

The leg was immediately operated and a week later additional proceedings were made at the Viik University Animal Hospital in Finland.

The wound was dressed for a week upon which the bandages were changed every three days. After 2 weeks all the bandages were removed and we started applying BIOPTRON light therapy on the pony's leg, twice a day for 10 minutes for 1 month. Afterwards the treatment time was reduced first to once per day for 10 minutes for a 3 months period and until today we have been providing hyperlight therapy treatment once every three days for 10 minutes.

Angel is now well and competing at Finnish dressage competitions with very good results. Out of 6 trials, she won one, came second twice and was in third place once.

The treatment with Bioptron had a huge impact on the recovery. Raija Lydecken states: “We are very happy with the Bioptron lamp because I am confident that the pony would not have recovered so fast without it and it is highly likely that it would never have recovered at all. It was such a horrific injury.”
