The Balto® Jump stifle knee brace is carefully designed to stabilize your dog's post-traumatic or acquired knee joint deficiency. The Balto® Jump is designed to support one of the most common injuries in canines, Cranial Cruciate Ligament (CCL) trauma. Affecting millions of patients annually, CCL injuries include: full or partial tearing of the ligament, Luxation of the patella, and Knee joint conditions such as arthritis, arthrosis and varus/valgus instability. This canine knee joint brace is a great solution for dogs suffering from limited mobility following injuries to the CCL joint. This breathable compression wrap, made with non-neoprene material, provides stability and support to your dog's rear legs without compromising natural movement. This knee brace is an excellent option for dogs in need of additional support while maintaining 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

I love the quality of these braces! My dog has bilateral torn ACL'S. We used a softer brace for the last 2 months. While they did help I had to constantly adjust the braces on my dog as he was able to get it most of the way off his legs when laying down or sitting. Balto's braces stay in place well. He ambulates well. I have to keep him from running so he doesn't injury himself more, because he can with these braces! I'm very satisfied and hope to see that heals with the assistance of his new braces.

Helped my dog get around
My dog was unsure at first but after following the instructions to only put it on for 30 mins a day until they got used to it really helped! Once he got used to wearing it, he was walking around no problem!
Took a few days before he would actually sit or lay down while wearing it.

Best thing!!
Luna is doing so much better after wearing her brace for about two weeks now. She isn’t giving us any trouble when we put it on her, I think she knows it helps! She wears it about 6 hours now and is doing great! Love the quality too! Thank you!

Great brace!
I bought one for a senior Pomeranian client that had recently been diagnosed with a torn CCL. Very little mobility prior, now this little dog runs. That brace stays put and he gets to keep running with the rest of the pack ! It gave him back his confidence!
