The Balto® Jump stifle knee brace is meticulously engineered to stabilise your dog's knee joint deficit resulting from post-traumatic or acquired conditions. The Balto® Jump is specifically engineered to provide assistance for a prevalent canine injury known as Cranial Cruciate Ligament (CCL) trauma. Each year, CCL injuries impact millions of pets, resulting in complete or partial tearing of the ligament, dislocation of the patella, and various knee joint diseases such as arthritis, arthrosis, and varus/valgus instability. This canine knee joint brace is an excellent remedy for canines experiencing restricted mobility as a result of damage to the CCL joint. This ventilated compression bandage, constructed from non-neoprene fabric, offers stability and assistance to your canine's hind limbs while preserving their innate mobility. This knee brace is a superb choice for dogs requiring extra assistance while keeping an active lifestyle.
BRACE APPLICATIONS
- CCL tears (partial and full)
- Partial CCL tears can take about 6 months to stabilize, and up to a year to form mature scar tissue to stabilize the knee to regular function.
- Full CCL tears, depending on severity, can take up to a year to stabilize and an additional year to form mature scar tissue that can stabilize the knee to regular function.
- Post-surgical support (for surgeries such as TPLO, TTA, ELSS, and MPL)
- Structural support to injured or affected limbs
- Chronic canine knee pain management
- Complementary treatment option to physical therapy – can be used in combination with hydrotherapy and acupuncture
- Special circumstances or conservative treatment preference; bracing can be used as an alternative to surgery for ineligible surgical candidates.
- This brace can be used on healthy joints, muscles and ligaments to prevent injury and provide structural support.
BRACE FEATURES
- Two pockets which contain angled airplane aluminum splints (medial and lateral) that help restrict the lateral movement (also referred to as a drawer movement) of the knee when necessary.
- Abdominal band to ensure the brace is secured around the dog’s hind end.
- A third, additional stabilization strap is provided for more active animals.
- The brace can also be used without splints for conditions such as arthritis and arthrosis.
- Compression helps increase blood flow in the affected area, which helps reduce stiffness, pain, and inflammation
- Adjustable upper and lower padding straps can be lengthened or shortened on the leg to ensure an excellent fit
Using the Balto® Jump on both the left and right knees can also help with cases related to:
- Senior dogs as a result of general degenerative process
- Overweight dogs dealing with high pressure on their good leg
- Active dogs with an important compensation behavior
Comes in sizes xx-small through x-large, for a left or right orientation. Please note that the xx-small size can only be worn in female orientation (in small breeds this is okay for most males) and is unable to be connected to a second knee brace to provide bilateral support.
