DESCRIPTION

Featuring an adjustable hinge, the Balto® Flexor is a rehabilitation and post-surgical brace intended for canine ligament injuries and joint maladies of the hock. In the event of congenital or traumatic instability of the canine tarsal joints, this brace has been specifically engineered to offer stability.

The canine Flexor Hock Brace offers complete range of motion (R.O.M) regulation, enabling either complete or partial immobilization of the affected joint. This feature permits customization to suit the specific requirements of the companion. Post-surgically, regulated flexion-extension motions of the tarsal joint promote proper healing by reducing excessive strain and stress, depending on the needs of your dog.

BRACE APPLICATIONS

• Provide contralateral support
• Post-surgical support
• Acute canine hock pain management
• ROM regulation for specific rehabilitation plans
• Conservative treatment; use as an alternative to surgery for ineligible surgical candidates

BRACE FEATURES

• Two lightweight airplane aluminum splints for support
• An adjustable external hinge with secure lock technology for a custom range of motion (ROM) setting
• Range of motion can be set to a variety of degrees:
  • Full Joint Immobilization (typically used pre/post-surgically) = 30° Flexion Position (FLEX) / 45° extension position (EXT)
  • Reduced Range of Motion (ROM) (typically used during rehabilitation) = 30° Flexion Position (FLEX) / 15° extension position (EXT)
• Length and width adjustable – upper and lower padding can be lengthened or shorten on the leg to ensure an excellent fit

Comes in sizes x-small/small through large/x-large (x-small/small through x-large/xx-large). To find the best size for your pet, visit the sizing chart here
