INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

 

Balto-BT-Splint-Drawing

 

The splint is pre-shaped but the angle can be modified by the vet if required.
The splint must be shaped by the vet first on the healthy leg (fore or rear) to ensure the correct angle for the affected leg.
The tough, removable metal splint inserted inside the fabric follows the shape of the rear of the foreleg, down to the footpad.
Protective bandaging can be effectively placed inside it.

 

 

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE

  • During the period of restraint, it is advisable not to leave the dog alone for too long, because it might try to remove the brace, by biting or scratching it.
  • The brace is designed with the lower part in contact with the ground. To prevent damage, the dog needs to be fitted with a protective shoe or sock, which can be purchased at any pet store. Examples such as Pompreece, Rufwear…

As your pet has the potential to damage the brace or injure themselves, we recommend the supervision of your dog at all times when wearing the brace.
