Balto® Bone Cat – Fracture Brace for Felines
Supports:
- Front leg trauma
- Hyperextension
- Bone fractures to the radius, ulna, and/or carpus
- Arthrodesis
Cats that have had severe injuries or fractures to their front legs' radius, ulna, or carpal (wrist) joints may find relief with the Balto Bone. This non-neoprene splinting and casting substitute supports and stabilises your cat's front limb or legs (or both at once) without restricting their natural movement to an excessive degree. For cats who want to keep moving around while they heal, this brace is a great choice for a little extra support.
BRACE APPLICATIONS
- Post-removal-of-casting for continued stability
- Alternative to traditional splints or casts
- Post-surgical support
- Acute pain management
- Complementary treatment option to physical therapy – can be used in combination with hydrotherapy and acupuncture
- IV catheter stabilization and protection in clinic for the cephalic vein
BRACE FEATURES
- Three rigid airplane aluminum splints; two splints that can be freely placed with durable Velcro to provide different positions and levels of stability, and a third fixed to the back of the brace.
- Adjustable upper and lower padding straps can be lengthened or shortened on the leg to ensure an excellent fit
Comes in size x-small. To find the best size for your pet, visit the sizing chart here.
Handwashable
Vet approved and preferred
Non-neoprene
Learn How Properly Fit the Balto Bone 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:
- 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!
