The Balto® Flexor is a post-surgical and rehabilitation brace with an adjustable hinge designed for canine ligament injuries and joint diseases of the hock. This brace has been designed to provide stability to the canine tarsal joints in the event of traumatic or congenital instability. The Flexor hock brace for canines provides full range of motion (R.O.M) control, which allows for partial or full immobilization of the joint; allowing you to customize to the pet’s needs. Regulated flexion-extension movements of the tarsal joint allow proper healing by reducing stress and excessive strain, depending on your dog’s need post-surgically.
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 x-large/xx-large. To find the best size for your pet, visit the sizing chart here.
