COMPONENTS
The Control Box
The Combi+System is operated with a specially designed multi-function control box based on the latest micro processor technology. Together with the lightweight battery unit, the control box is put in a small plastic wallet and secured directly on the top of the rug.

This one control box operates the:

• Combi+System (the combined PEMF and Massage therapy system)
• Electromagnetic rug system
• PEMF boots
• Softlaser equipment
• Electro stimulation system (TENS equipment)
• Combined Hoofpad system

The programmable microprocessor offers a large range of options to create individual therapy programs. The therapy time, frequency and intensity can be easily changed. Even the duration of each individual massage line can be adjusted.

The PEMF spools and massage modules in the blanket, boots and probe connect to the back of the central control unit which plugs into the battery. The battery has a simple on/off button and lasts for approximately 15-20 treatments before recharging is required.

The Rug
The Combi+System rug with integrated neck part ensures complete stimulation. It is made from high quality materials chosen to enable practical use either in the stable or outside at competitions in all weather conditions. The rug is lightweight, robust and cool: the cover is made from Goretex which allows air to circulate through the blanket during treatments and the sides are made from strong double sewn mesh. It has 5 fully adjustable clips, belly straps and a tail strap to ensure a snug and secure fit.

The rug contains:

• 10 powerful massage modules in 5 lines (2 modules per line)
• 15 magnetic spools in the same 5 lines (3 spools per line).

PEMF Boots
The boots are made from Goretex and fix to the leg like a travel boot using elastic Velcro. They cover from the sensitive part of the hoof up to the carpal joint. They are easy to use and offer a wide spectrum of treatment. Each boot contains 4 magnetic spools and works using the same principle as the rug: the 4 magnetic spools work in conformity to the natural flow of the blood- and lymph-lines in the legs. They are activated from the outside down to the inside up in the sequence 1-2-3-4 (see picture).

GENERAL INFORMATION
Pulsed Electromagnetic Field therapy (PEMF) uses a range of frequencies and intensities to stimulate different cells in the body. This helps to promote cells with different functions to work more efficiently. The effectiveness of PEMF therapy has been FDA approved and is widely used by well-known organisations such as the NHS.

All electromagnetic fields are charged with energy generated by electric current: where current flows, magnetism develops.

The components are put directly on the horse’s body. The PEMF rug, boots and probe contain copper spools that create magnetic fields with electric power supplied by the battery provided.

The equipment comes in a robust carrying bag for storage and transportation.

The 4 important factors for successful therapy sessions are:

1. Intensity (Tesla)
2. Frequency (Hertz)
3. Time/duration (minutes)
4. Combination of treatments.

The Combi+System enables these 4 factors to be regulated and combined with each other.

When not to use PEMF

• During pregnancy
• Severe fungal diseases
• Epilepsy
• Fever and tumour developments.

CLEANING
Stables and horses are not terribly clean. Don’t worry! The rug and boots are washable at 30 degrees C. The components are self-contained and are easily removed for washing.

The equipment should be stored and operated in a dry place.

TESTIMONIALS

CHRIS KING, winner of Barbury Castle and Blenheim 2007

“There is no better system on the market. It really does work! With its pre-set programmes it offers you a variety of options benefiting each individual horse both pre and post exercise, plus you can change the programmes to suit specific needs. We use the rug daily on all our horses and I have noticed a definite improvement in their overall well being both mentally and physically.

It is especially useful after strenuous exercise to aid tired muscles in recovery and treat specific areas. At 3DEs the horses have come out on the last day feeling fit and well and I am convinced this is due to using the system. The Secret Weapon lived in his Combi System during Bleinheim week and look how it helped him! He has never felt better. Every competition horse deserves one!”

PETER STORR, International Dressage Rider

“The combination of having both pulsed electromagnetic and the massage over the horse's entire body makes a huge difference. I find the horses much looser and more relaxed in their muscles straight away. It’s also been great for horses with specific problems and stiffnesses and I find the fact it also treats the neck area a great advantage.”

WILLIAM AND PIPPA FUNNELL, International Show Jumper and International Event Rider

“We use the Activo-Med Combi+System on our horses both at home and at competitions. We find it really helps to keep the horses loose, supple and relaxed before and after everyday work and at competitions. The preset programmes are very good and we also like the fact you can set the system up to suit individual horses. The handheld magnetic laser shower is also extremely effective on specific ailments. We are very impressed with the equipment and highly recommend it.”

RUTH EDGE, International Event and Dressage Rider

“I find that the system is a useful tool for both training and as an aid to speed up recovery from an injury. With easy instructions and a variety of programmes to choose from it is great for helping warm horses up for work as well as after exercise.

The horses love the system and relax immediately helping them to perform at their best.”

DAVID McPHERSON, International Show Jumper

“I use the system everyday on most of my horses. They all love it and it definitely helps keep them supple, feeling well and achieving their best results. I like the all over rug and that it provides both magnetic and massage treatments. I would not be without one now.”

LOUISE BELL, Top Show Working-Hunter Producer

“I call the Activo-Med Combi System my ‘Magic Rug’, as it is a rug that works for every horse, and the results speak for themselves. I believe it is the best magnetic rug I have had the pleasure of using, and with the added bonus of a massage system, my horses are going better than ever.

As it is easy to use and store, it means that when you buy one it doesn’t sit in a corner unused like most things you think you need. This rug is an investment that I suggest anyone who can ....... should make”.

ANNE DUNHAM, who was part of the GB Para Dressage gold-medal winning team

"Karen (Team GBR equine osteopath) used the Activo-Med rug on my horse BB Call Me Caine each time before I rode him and he felt as if he had been warmed up for 10/15 minutes, he was altogether much looser and happier and I felt a real difference.”
