Addressing hock pain, lameness and neuromuscular problems, the Balto® Hock also aides:
- Achilles injuries and orthopedic conditions
- Neurological conditions
- Pre/Post-surgical immobilization
- Contralateral support
- Protection and supporting bandages
The brace can even be used as an alternative to surgery if the patient is not an ideal candidate and can also be used without splints for conditions such as arthritis and arthrosis. Compression helps increase blood pressure in the area, raising the temperature of the immediate area and helping to reduce pain.
Features:
- Removable aluminium splints
- The front splint is slightly adjustable
- High quality breathable fabric
- Additional compression
- Comfortable to wear
- Hand washable (always remove the rigid splints before washing)
- Available in 6 sizes
