It is designed to support the radiocarpal, carpometacarpal and tarsometatarsal joints of both the front and rear legs.
For dogs suffering from pathologies such as: hyperextension or hyperflexion of the carpus or tarsus, ligament sprains, strains, minor bone fractures that can be resolved if conservative treatment is preferable to surgery.
In the case of use on the front leg, we also recommend BT Joint, as its use on the healthy leg will help the dog to better compensate for the load that it must bear due to the deficit of the other leg.
If BT Splint is used on the hind leg, we recommend using BT Joint for both front legs.
Once the brace has been fitted around the dog's paw, it is not necessary for the 2 white edges to be closed around the paw until they touch, as the closure of the brace is determined by the blue bands and the tutoring action is given by the splint present in the rear part of the brace.

ADVANTAGES
Effectiveness, practicality, ergonomics: the BT Splint laxity brace brings together all of this.
The metal splint in resistant, mouldable material inserted inside the fabric follows the back of the forearm until it accommodates the plantar cushion, stabilising the affected area and allowing the dog good movement.
Also ideal as protection for bandages inserted inside, it allows for quicker recovery times.

FEATURES

• Sizes XXS and XS are also suitable for cats.

• Metal splint in resistant, moldable material.

• The brace can be used both pre- and post-operatively.

• Breathable fabric and hand washable.

• Fit.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE

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

• The Guardian It is designed for indoor environments. To avoid damaging it with outdoor use, it is necessary to have the dog wear a protective shoe or sock, which can be purchased at any pet store.

MEASUREMENTS
The measurements are purely indicative, some breeds may not coincide with the sizes indicated.
If used for the hind legs, choose the smaller size than the indicated weights (for example: if the dog weighs 27 kg, for the front leg choose size M, for the hind leg choose size S).

The splint is already shaped but can be adjusted by the vet if necessary.
The splint must be shaped by the vet first on the healthy limb (front or back) to ensure the correct angle of the affected leg.
