DESCRIPTION

For cats, the Balto® Splint is a great way to support their front and back joints of the paw and lower leg; including the radiocarpal, carpometacarpal, and tarsometatarsal (wrist) joints. Feline's legs are well-supported and protected from minor fractures with this non-neoprene compression and support brace, which allows for a wide range of motion while protected.

Sprains and strains of the tarsus or carpus

Learn How Properly Fit the Balto Splint to Your Cat

The superior materials used to make Balto® braces eliminate the need for neoprene - a material that harbours bacteria, offers insufficient support, and wears out rapidly. A snug fit is guaranteed by a range of sizes. Straps should not pinch.

When taking an indoor-outdoor cat outside, take the brace off first.

Veterinarians should be consulted before use in cases involving felines of any age. For pets younger than 2 years old, it may be necessary to use a brace for increments of time in order to avoid any potential growth disruptions.
