EFFICIENT REFERRAL & FIRST OPINION SERVICE WITH SPECIALIST DIAGNOSTIC AND TREATMENT ADVICE
Take The Guesswork Out Of Respiratory Noises During Exercise
Our Videomed Overground endoscopy system is used either on site or on the local gallops for evaluation of the upper respiratory tract.
For exercise-related respiratory disorders, dynamic overground videoendoscopic examination is the new gold-standard, replacing the traditional dynamic treadmill videoendoscopy and standing videoendoscopy.
Overground endoscopy fixes a specially designed endoscope and monitoring equipment to the horse and rider to visualise the horse’s throat during exercise. We monitor the horse in real-time on a video-monitor using bluetooth technology.
