Subzero Cryotherapy
Vets, trainers and physiotherapists report faster recovery from equine injuries and treatment of acute laminitis through targeted cold therapy.
This versatile device uses low cost pressurized CO2 to cool regions such as the back and neck, and specific areas such as the hoof, hock, stifle, pastern and fetlock.
Initial results are usually visible within just 60 seconds.
Offering real-time control via infrared temperature and distance sensors, with pre-programmed treatment protocols, Subzero is a valuable address for pain relief and inflammation.
What’s more, it’s approx 1/3 cost of its closest competitors.

Equine PEMF & Laser
This groundbreaking equine PEMF unit combines Pulsed Electro-Magnetic Field therapy with Laser (3 wavelengths).
Published scientific studies report physical, physiological and neurological benefits following PEMF treatments, making it the optimal approach for veterinarians, trainers and therapists addressing soft tissue injury, osteoarthritis, and post-work recovery in elite equine athletes.

Equine Shockwave
This therapeutic device uses sound waves to treat acute and chronic pain.
It is used extensively to address spinal issues such as ‘kissing spines’, fractures, and tendon and ligament injuries, and is now recognized as a premier treatment for suspensory injuries and kissing spines.
Delivering an acoustic wave with 100x higher energy than ultrasound imaging, this radial Shockwave device offers 5 probe options, a ‘bundled wave’ penetration of up to 8 cm, and a handpiece supporting over 3 million shockwave ‘shots’.

Class IV Laser Devices
AmericaCryo offers three Class IV lasers and a portable Class IIIb laser. These facilitate rapid wound healing and the management of complex musculoskeletal issues and conditions.
The Class IIIb Ultra Pulse packs high output 905 nm, 808 nm and 650 nm wavelengths into a portable handheld unit, with pulsed or continuous modes. It is ideal for the mobile practitioner or therapist, or for daily use at the stable or paddock.
The Class IV lasers offer versatility matched only by inbuilt ease of use, with multiple pre-programmed treament protocols viewable on colour screens. able are:
- The Bi Wave Laser, which provides 660 nm and 980 nm, 10W output, with super-pulsed or continuous modes.
- The Tri Wave Laser, which provides 20W power for 980 nm and 810 nm, plus 100mW at 660 nm, with super-pulsed or continuous modes. It can be configured to work as a Class IIIb laser as well as Class IV.
- The Quad Wave Laser, which enables fast, powerful treatment through four wavelengths – 980 nm, 915 nm, 810 nm and 650 nm – delivered at 45W in super-pulsed or continuous modes.
Ice Compression and Massage
This device combines cryotherapy with therapeutic compression and massage, providing targeted treatments to specific areas to reduce inflammation, decrease pain, and promote lymph and blood flow.
It is especially suitable for post-surgical and pain management therapies.
Features include leg and hock wraps for targeted compression, automatic water temperature control via multiple sensors, and 20 preset and customizable protocols.
