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.

Rinse soap thoroughly from the brace
Hang to dry. Once the brace is completely dry, it is ready for use!

My shelter senior boxer hound mix has a bad elbow likely from a long time ago injury. The balto brace gives him support to walk and gently play so happy. We had a brace from another co. That was expensive and very flimsy. We are si happy to have found balti brace great quality will refer on

Literal life saver
This brace has given our 11year old Mexican rescue girl a new lease on life. Once she became accustomed to it, she discovered she could go on longer walks again. We’ve noticed improved circulation in her affected legs and reduced stiffness after walks. She has arthritis in both elbows.
The brace fits well according to the fitting chart and our dog became accustomed to it after only a couple of wearings.
This brace is a great investment.
