Full Description

The Balto Hock is utilized to treat hock discomfort, lameness, and neuromuscular issues. This canine hock brace is a great solution for canines with restricted mobility due to Achilles tendon or hock injuries. Crafted from non-neoprene material, this breathable compression wrap offers support and stabilization to the hind limbs of your canine companion while maintaining an unrestricted gait.  When a dog maintains an active lifestyle and requires additional hock support, this brace is an amazing option.

BRACE APPLICATIONS

• Sprains and strains of the hock/Achilles tendon
• Post-surgical support
• Structural support for soft tissue injuries to the hock joint
• Chronic hock pain management
• Complementary treatment option to physical therapy – can be used in combination with hydrotherapy and acupuncture
• When applied to healthy ligaments, muscles, and joints, this brace can help to prevent further damage and offer structural support.
• Wound management; protection of bandages from biting, licking, gravity and friction

BRACE FEATURES

• Three angled airplane aluminum splints; two splints aid in restricting the lateral movement, and a third in the front is slightly malleable for a more custom fit.
• The brace can also be used without splints for conditions such as arthritis and arthrosis.
  • Compression helps increase blood flow in the affected area, which helps reduce stiffness, pain, and inflammation
• Adjustable upper and lower padding straps can be lengthened or shortened on the leg to ensure an excellent fit
