Dermashield® uses state-of-the-art copper ion slow-release technology. This provides a targeted action to the needed area via a downward flow of germicidal copper ions, carried by moisture, from the band to the hoof.

The flow of copper ions creates a germicidal zone around the hoof 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Dermashield® if worn full time has a useable life of approximately 1 year. Moisture from incidental contact will activate Dermashield® releasing ions for up to 12 months.

Simply apply above the hoof.

Chemical Free - Safe to handle for you and your staff.
