Scientific Innovation

Hydrophobic Gel Barrier Technology

Founded in science at the University of Cambridge and with extensive field studies, the innovative Cuvestrequin gel barrier is easy and safe to use and may be considered as an alternative to topical antimicrobials.

A thin layer of the intelligent gel barrier protects broken skin where bandaging is difficult or not an option on certain areas of the body. As the site progresses, Cuvestrequin can also be a valuable tool for ongoing protection or if bandaging must be stopped.

Case Studies

Management of a Slow-Healing Traumatic Hindlimb Injury in a Sports Horse

Resolution of stalled healing was achieved via an Equine Gel Barrier in a chronic tarsal injury unresponsive to conventional management.

We have used Cuvestrequin in around 40 cases and found it highly effective, especially where bandaging is impractical or proud flesh is present. It provides a durable protective barrier for several days, reduces complications and costs and supports quicker turnout. It is now our go-to product for excessive granulation tissue and wounds with prolonged healing times.
