The Balto® Bone is designed to address movement limitations in dogs resulting from fractures and severe injuries to the radius, ulna, and carpal joint in the front legs. This alternative to splinting and casting, constructed from non-neoprene material, offers stability and support to your dog's front limb or legs (may be applied to both legs simultaneously) without significantly impeding natural mobility. The fracture brace is a very suitable choice for dogs requiring extra assistance while maintaining an active lifestyle during the healing process.

BRACE APPLICATIONS

  • Post-casting removal for continued stability
  • Alternative to traditional splints or casts
  • Post-surgical support
  • Acute pain management
  • Complementary treatment option to physical therapy – can be used in combination with hydrotherapy and acupuncture
  • IV catheter stabilization and protection in clinic for the cephalic vein

BRACE FEATURES

  • Three rigid airplane aluminum splints; two splints that can be freely placed with durable Velcro to provide different positions and levels of stability, and a third fixed to the back of the brace.
  • Adjustable upper and lower padding straps can be lengthened or shortened on the leg to ensure an excellent fit

    Comes in sizes x-small through xx-large. To find the best size for your pet, visit the sizing chart here.

    Learn How Properly Fit the Balto Bone to Your Pet

    Instead of neoprene, which is known to harbour bacteria, offer insufficient support, and wear out rapidly - all Balto® braces are crafted from high-quality, non-neoprene materials. Various sizes guarantee a snug fit. Specially designed to avoid pinching.

    Recommended for all ages unless otherwise advised by veterinarians. For essential bracing in pets younger than two, use a brace for balanced intervals of time to avoid potential growth disruptions.

    Maintenance & Repair

    A clean brace not only prevents infections, irritation, and a stinky smell; but it also allows your brace to last longer. To help support the longevity of your bracing device, here are some of our tips on how to properly clean your orthopedic bracing:

    1. Remove as much hair as possible from any Velcro® frequently to prevent compaction.
    2. Use lint roller or lightly adhesive tape to remove hair from the material of the brace.
    3. By hand, use warm water and a gentle cleansing soap to remove any stains and odors.
    4. Rinse soap thoroughly from the brace
    5. Hang to dry. Once the brace is completely dry, it is ready for use!
