The Balto® Joint is an excellent remedy for dogs experiencing discomfort or restricted movement after sustaining injuries to the carpal (wrist) joint. This ventilated compression bandage, constructed from non-neoprene fabric, offers stability and assistance to your canine's hind limbs while maintaining their innate range of motion. This wrist brace for canines is a superb choice for dogs, particularly senior pets, who want extra assistance while maintaining an active way of life.
BRACE APPLICATIONS

- Structural support for soft tissue injuries to the carpal joint

- Complementary treatment option to physical therapy – can be used in combination with hydrotherapy and acupuncture
- This brace can be used on healthy joints, muscles and ligaments to prevent injury and provide structural support.
- Wound management; protection of bandages from biting, licking, gravity and friction
BRACE FEATURES
- Two airplane aluminum splints – medial and lateral that are slightly malleable for a more custom fit.

Instead of neoprene, which is known to harbour bacteria, offer insufficient support, and wear out rapidly - all Balto® braces are crafted from high-quality, non-neoprene materials. Various sizes guarantee a snug fit. Specially designed to avoid pinching.
Recommended for all ages unless otherwise advised by veterinarians. For essential bracing in pets younger than two, use a brace for balanced intervals of time to avoid potential growth disruptions.

Maintenance & Repair
A clean brace not only prevents infections, irritation, and a stinky smell; but it also allows your brace to last longer. To help support the longevity of your bracing device, here are some of our tips on how to properly clean your orthopedic bracing:
- Remove as much hair as possible from any Velcro® frequently to prevent compaction.
- Use lint roller or lightly adhesive tape to remove hair from the material of the brace.
- By hand, use warm water and a gentle cleansing soap to remove any stains and odors.
- Rinse soap thoroughly from the brace
- Hang to dry. Once the brace is completely dry, it is ready for use!
