Balto BT Splint – Instability Brace

The brace is specially designed to support the radiocarpal, carpometacarpal and tarsometatarsal joints, both the front and back paws. It is ideal for cases of hyperflexion or hyperextension of the carpus and tarsus, minor ligament distortions, sprains and incomplete fracture of the bone, when conservative treatment is preferable to surgery.
When used on the front leg, we recommend also using the BT JOINT, because its use on the healthy leg will help the dog compensate better for the added load caused by the loss of use of the other leg. If the BT SPLINT is used on a hind leg, we recommend using the BT JOINT on both front legs.
Once the brace has been placed around the dog’s leg, it is not necessary that the two white-trimmed edges meet, since the closure of the brace is by means of the blue straps and stabilization is provided by the splint on the back of the brace.

Features:  The XXS and XS sizes can also be used on cats. Tough, mouldable metal splint.„ The brace can be used in pre- and post-surgery. Breathable fabric. Excellent wearability. Hand washable. Rigid splints included into the brace.

The splint is pre-shaped but the angle can be modified by the vet if required.
The splint must be shaped by the vet first on the healthy leg (fore or rear) to ensure he correct angle for the affected leg.
The tough, mouldable metal splint inserted inside the fabric follows the shape of the rear of the foreleg, down to the foot pad. Protective bandaging can be effectively placed inside it.
