Technovit® 6091 presumably is the best known resin to be used as universal medium in veterinary medicine.
The idea dates back to the late fifties. Already at that time it was a known fact that animals with impaired claws lead to economic consequences. And to this date, Technovit® 6091 is becoming increasingly popular and has proven its effectiveness million times in daily practice. On the one hand, this success is based on the easy and quick handling (mixing, applying, curing) and on the other on the excellent results that are achieved with Technovit® 6091.

Areas of application
A – Claw Treatment- Immobilisation of claws in the case of inflammatory diseases
- Fixation of tip of claw
B – Bone fracture treatment for large and small animals- Extracutaneous splinting after Becker in the case of osteosynthesis
- Transversal fixation by means of Kirschner drill wires in the case of fractures of the tibula and fibula
- Fractures of the distal phalanx
- Reinforcement of bandages
- Shortening of the healing process of the affected claw
The most important advantages at one glance
- Speedy recovery from lameness
- High degree of profitability: no reduction of milk yield, no loss of weight.
- Easy and uncomplicated handling: the accelerator reduces the curing time without rise in polymerisation temperature. Individual adjustment of the curing time to preferred way of working/speed.
- Gentle to the claw: Gentle procedure in comparison to conventional products due to the minimum possible polymerisation temperature. When the healing process is terminated the material can be removed easily and without negative effects on the claw.
- Optimal wearing stability: The material features an extreme impact strength.
- High wearing comfort: Due to its resistance to bending, Technovit® 6091 is optimally adjusted to the cow’s work movements.
How does Technovit® 6091 work?
Rapid and gentle reduction of pressure in the case of lameness!
As a rule, only one of the two claws is affected and needs medical treatment. During the diseased claw is treated medically, a block of wood is glued to the healthy and stress-resistant claw with the special plastic Technovit® 6091.
By increasing the healthy claw, the sick claw is disburden and immobilise. This reduction of pressure leads to normal movements of the cow and speeds up recovery. The cows get used very quickly to the wood block and even severely limping animals are able to walk practically without a limp after the treatment has been performed. In this way, they can be integrated into the herd, particularly when kept in stables where they can move about or on pastures.
Material properties
Technovit® 6091 is an MMA-based fast-curing resin. Thanks to a special combination of materials, the resin is of dough-like consistency already a few minutes after the mixing process and then can be applied immediately to claw and wood block and modelled into desired shape. Depending on outdoor temperatures, the resin is fully cured after 4 to 6 minutes and after cooling down has its full load bearing capacity.
Subsequently to a treatment of 10 minutes, the animal can walk free of pain!
No strain due to temperature!
The maximum reaction warmth is 86° C which is less than with other comparable products. Favoured by the poor heat conductivity of the claw horn, the temperature at the true skin does not rise above 39 °C.
No impairment, no pain!
