Sophisticated bracing for an affected leg and support of the at-risk knee. Allows for an adjustable range of motion of an injured limb and protective support for the compensating canine knee.

This Balto^® Bundle contains 1 Balto^® Jump brace and a 1 Balto^® Ligatek brace, left and right orientation, to provide advanced bilateral support to canine’s knees.

The Balto^® Ligatek is carefully designed to stabilize your dog's post-traumatic or acquired knee joint deficiency. With its adjustable hinges, the user can control the ROM (range of motion), and lock the injured knee joint into full immobilization or controlled degrees of flexion/extension.

In canines with knee injuries, there is a 70% chance of injury to the other knee from additional weight and wear while the injured leg rehabilitates. When the Ligatek is paired with the Balto Jump, the Jump is able to provide structural support – ensuring healthy movement of the at-risk joint.

BRACE APPLICATIONS

This bracing bundle is intended for the support of 2 injured knees, or 1 at-risk knee and 1 affected knee.

• This brace can be used on healthy joints, muscles and ligaments to prevent injury to at-risk knees
• CCL tears (partial and full)
• Partial CCL tears can take about 6 months to stabilize, and up to a year to form mature scar tissue to stabilize the knee to regular function.
• Full CCL tears, depending on severity, can take up to a year to stabilize and an additional year to form mature scar tissue that can stabilize the knee to regular function.
• Post-surgical support (for surgeries such as TPLO, TTA, ELSS, and MPL)
• Structural support to injured or affected limbs
• Special circumstances or conservative treatment preference; bracing can be used as an alternative to surgery for ineligible surgical candidates.

BRACE FEATURES

• The Ligatek comes with adjustable upper and lower hardware that can be lengthened or shortened on the leg to ensure an excellent fit.
• The Jump comes with 2 pockets containing angled airplane aluminum splints on either side of the knee to promote healthy drawer movement of the knee.
• Two durable straps: one over the hind end to anchor both knee braces together and the other to stabilize by attaching to a harness or collar
• Knee braces can be used together, or can function as singular knee support when separated.
• The Balto Jump can 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

Please note that sizing differs between braces. The Balto Jump comes in sizes x-small through x-large, for left and right orientation. The Balto Ligatek comes in sizes small through x-large. To find the best size for your pet, visit the sizing chart here.

All Balto® braces are made from high-quality materials, not neoprene, which is known to: collect bacteria, provide inadequate support, and wear down quickly. A variety of sizes ensure a secure fit. No pinching straps.

Recommended for all ages unless otherwise advised by veterinarians. Apply brace for balanced increments of time, if appropriate, for pets under the age of 2 to prevent possible growth disturbances.
