For cats, the Balto® Splint is a great way to support their front and back joints of the paw and lower leg; including the radiocarpal, carpometacarpal, and tarsometatarsal (wrist) joints. Feline's legs are well-supported and protected from minor fractures with this non-neoprene compression and support brace, which allows for a wide range of motion while protected.

BRACE APPLICATIONS

  • Hyperflexion or hyperextension of the carpal and tarsal (in cases of severe front leg hyperextension or hyperflexion, use Balto® Bone – Feline).
  • Minor ligament distortions
  • Sprains and strains of the tarsus or carpus
  • Minor fractures of the tarsus or carpus bones
  • Post-surgical support
  • Healthy muscles, ligaments, and joints can all benefit from the structural support and injury prevention offered by this brace.
  • Brachial plexus avulsion

BRACE FEATURES

  • Single angled airplane aluminum splint that is slightly malleable for a more custom fit.
  • Adjustable upper and lower padding straps can be lengthened or shortened on the leg to ensure an excellent fit

Comes in sizes xx-small and x-small. To find the best size for your pet, visit the sizing chart here

Learn How Properly Fit the Balto Splint to Your Cat

The superior materials used to make Balto® braces eliminate the need for neoprene - a material that harbours bacteria, offers insufficient support, and wears out rapidly. A snug fit is guaranteed by a range of sizes. Straps should not pinch.

When taking an indoor-outdoor cat outside, take the brace off first.

Veterinarians should be consulted before use in cases involving felines of any age. For pets younger than 2 years old, it may be necessary to use a brace for increments of time in order to avoid any 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:

  1. Remove as much hair as possible from any Velcro® frequently to prevent compaction.
  2. Use lint roller or lightly adhesive tape to remove hair from the material of the brace.
  3. By hand, use warm water and a gentle cleansing soap to remove any stains and odors.
  4. Rinse soap thoroughly from the brace
  5. Hang to dry. Once the brace is completely dry, it is ready for use!
