Ozone Super Guard: how does it differ from conventional antiseptics for treating wounds in horses?

When a horse is injured, the first reaction of owners is to disinfect the wound to prevent infection and accelerate healing. In the stable's first-aid kit, one very often finds classic products such as Betadine, colloidal silver, or hydrogen peroxide. But for some years now, ozone in the form of saturated oil, as in the

, stands out as a natural and highly effective alternative.

So, what is the difference between these products? In what cases does ozone provide a real benefit for wound care in horses?

1. Betadine: the standard antiseptic but irritating in the long term

Betadine (povidone iodine) is an essential ingredient in equine care.

• Advantages : fast antiseptic action against bacteria, fungi and some viruses; easy to find and inexpensive.
• Limitations : Repeated use dries out the skin, irritates living tissue, and sometimes slows healing. A wound treated with Betadine for too long remains "clean" but has difficulty closing properly.

2. Colloidal silver: a limited and superficial action

Colloidal silver is valued for its natural antibacterial properties.

• Advantages : non-irritating, simple to use, useful for certain superficial infections.
• Limitations : limited spectrum of action (primarily bacteria), variable effectiveness depending on concentration, little effect on fungi, viruses, and yeasts. Does not penetrate deeply into tissues.

3. Hydrogen peroxide: a deceptive foaming effect

Some owners still use hydrogen peroxide to clean a wound.

• Advantages : the foaming effect is impressive as it brings debris and pus to the surface; disinfects quickly.
• Limitations : It also destroys healthy cells, which slows healing. Repeated use should be avoided, especially on deep wounds.

4. Super Guard Ozone: a complete and deep natural treatment

The saturated ozonated oil in Ozone Super Guard works differently:

• Broad spectrum of action: bacteria, fungi, yeasts, viruses, spores.
• Deep cleansing : thanks to its oily base, ozone diffuses into the tissues and acts in areas inaccessible to aqueous antiseptics.
• Stimulation of healing : improves microcirculation and local oxygenation, promoting tissue regeneration.
• Soothing effect : unlike Betadine or hydrogen peroxide, it does not burn, does not dry out and can be applied over several days without hindering wound closure.
• Versatility : usable on open wounds, burst abscesses, cracks or even chronic skin lesions.

5. Different types of wounds: why ozone is most effective in each case

Not all wounds are the same, and their evolution requires appropriate care:

• Clean wounds, such as cuts : the main risk is infection. Ozone provides immediate sanitization and promotes rapid healing without damaging the tissues.
• Granulating wounds (where tissue grows excessively): some antiseptics slow healing or prolong irritation. Ozone, on the other hand, balances tissue regeneration and promotes a return to "clean" healing.
• Infected or suppurating wounds: here, the deep cleansing action of ozone is essential, because it acts on bacteria, yeasts and fungi deep down, where conventional products remain superficial.

In each of these situations, Ozone Super Guard provides a complete solution: it disinfects, calms inflammation and stimulates healthy healing.

6. And what about gaseous ozone as a supplement?

In certain cases (abscesses, deep wounds, suppurating lesions), ozone in gaseous form can be used as a complementary treatment. The gas penetrates all cavities immediately, destroys germs on contact, and prepares the area to receive ozonated oil, which prolongs the action and promotes healing. This gas and oil combination is particularly effective for infected wounds and foot abscesses.

Conclusion: Why favor ozone for horse wounds?

Conventional antiseptics such as Betadine, colloidal silver or hydrogen peroxide can be useful in a pinch, but they have limitations: irritation, reduced spectrum or slowing of healing.

Ozone Super Guard stands out because it combines:

• a complete antimicrobial action,
• a deep dissemination ,
• and active stimulation of healing .

For horse owners, this means fewer recurrences, better quality healing and more tissue-friendly care.
