AMS Splints – Custom Dog Leg Brace
What are the applications?
A custom dog leg brace aims to support a joint such as the dog’s wrist (carpal) or ankle/hock (tarsal) areas:
-Carpal /Tarsal Deviation (varus, valgus)
-Carpal and hock hyperextension
-Ligament instability
-Tendon injury requiring immobilisation such as Achilles tear/rupture
-Immobilisation post-surgery (carpal / tarsal arthrodesis, fracture repair)
-Protection after cast removal, osteosarcoma radius/ulna or hock area
Custom Dog Carpal Brace (Wrist)
Custom Dog Hock Brace (Ankle)
ADVANTAGES
Because a custom dog leg brace follows the exact contour of the leg, it is that it is more likely to be comfortable than standard rigid splints.
The advantage of using AMS-Splint as a carpal brace is that you can easily fit it with a dog leg wrap to hold it in place. No need for additional foam or straps.

RECOMMENDATIONS TO USE FOR A CUSTOM DOG LEG BRACE
- 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.
- Exposure to heat and sun can potentially result in melting or change to shape. Store at room temperature.
As your pet has the potential to damage the brace or injure itself, we recommend the supervision of your dog at all times when wearing the brace.
