Air-cow

What is Air-cow?

Air-cow is an air cushion lifting system, intended for animals that are unable to get up. This patented system was imagined and developed by Pierre Schoenaers, a practicing veterinarian.

It is a medical pneumatic device, intended for cattle suffering from traumas or pathologies causing a total or partial inability to move and/or survey.

This device can allow:

rehabilitation;
the administration of care;
the movement of the animal.

And that in the best conditions of safety and well-being.

Air-cow

Why?

In the practice of classical veterinary medicine, it is common to be confronted with pathologies causing a total or partial inability to move as well as to take a survey.

In these cases, the weight of the animal backfires:

fatigue, difficulty staying up;
stopping feeding, watering;
metabolic deficit;
weakening, bedsores, muscle degeneration.

Very often, the initial cause of the problem is treated, but the complications associated with prolonged recumbency still lead to death. The idea of euthanizing a cured animal is difficult.

The Air-cow system makes it possible to limit complications related to any locomotor disability and to increase the chances of recovery of the animal, by allowing it to receive the appropriate care in optimal conditions of well-being.

Three ways

How to use it?

Pillow put on deflated under the lying animal. Then using the compressor, the cushion is inflated in a few minutes.

Animal placed in the cushion already inflated and closed.

Inflated cushion slipped under the animal.

In any case, it is imperative to follow certain rules:

protect the feet;
obstruct the hindlimbs;
attach the animal to the cushion using the straps provided (tourniquet and head);
stabilize the cushion in the environment.

Once installed in the Air-cow cushion, the animal only requires episodic supervision and does not require the continuous presence of a person. Finally, this system can be used for external clients or in clinics.
