BALTO BT Hock Brace for Hock (5-8 kg. Size XS)

Pain, lameness, motor difficulties no longer worry: the BT Hock brace is the ideal solution to help solve hock injuries.
The brace has three pockets for the insertion of two rigid side sticks and an adjustable front splint.
It is used in diseases that cause lesions in the hock region, causing symptoms such as pain, lameness or difficulty in movement.
The brace, if used without splints, is also useful in case of pathologies such as arthritis or osteoarthritis. In fact, the compressive effect of the material it is made of increases blood pressure in the hock area and, consequently, the temperature.
This reduces the pain caused by the pathologies.
The anterior splint is recommended for those cases in which it is necessary to completely block the hock joint (for example after an operation, or due to neurological problems).
Also used with a protective function, it can contain plasters or bandages with any medicaments in case of surgical wounds or bedsores.
It is also excellent after surgery.

BENEFITS
Stabilizing effect and load reduction: this is how the BT HOCK brace contributes to a prompt functional recovery by preventing secondary damage.
The bracing action improves the work of the ligaments by alleviating pain; the lower load relieves the injured party helping to reduce the discomfort and, in some cases, the swelling.
All without preventing the dog from normal movements and ensuring excellent flexion and flexibility of the muscles, while the ligaments remain contracted.
The rigid splints are designed for locking the dog's limb at the hock height following surgery.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE

• During the period of restraint, it is advisable not to leave the dog alone for too long, as he may try to remove the brace, biting or scratching it.

• Caution: If the dog is taken out for a run or play while wearing the brace, the latter can cause rubbing redness due to direct contact of the rigid splints with the skin. We recommend that you prevent this by placing a piece of gauze or a piece of cotton between the stiff splints and the dog's skin.

• If using splints on the brace, consult a veterinarian.

• Remove the slats before each wash.
