Description
Balto hock small hock brace is the ideal solution to help resolve hock injuries. Pain, lameness, motor difficulties no longer worry.
The brace has three pockets for the insertion of two rigid lateral splints and an adjustable front splint. It is used in pathologies 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 arthrosis. In fact, the compressive effect of the material of which it is made increases blood pressure in the hock area and, consequently, the temperature. This reduces the pain caused by 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 medications in case of surgical wounds or bedsores. It is also excellent after surgery.
Breathable and hand washable fabric. Fit. It can be used both pre and post-operative. The two rigid lateral splints and the adjustable front splint are already included in the brace. The splints can be removed by sliding them out of the appropriate pockets. The front splint is adjustable.

How to use
Recommendations:
During the period of restraint, it is advisable not to leave the dog alone for too long, because it could try to remove the brace, biting or scratching it. Warning: if the dog is taken out for a run or to play while wearing the brace, the latter can cause redness from rubbing due to the direct contact of the rigid splints with the skin. We recommend that you prevent this by placing a piece of gauze or some cotton between the rigid splints and the dog's skin. In case of using splints to the brace, consult a veterinarian. Remove the splints before each wash.
