The Balto® Splint is specially designed help to support the radiocarpal, carpometacarpal and tarsometatarsal (wrist) joints on the front and rear paws. This breathable compression and minor fracture support brace, made with non-neoprene material, provides stability and support to your dog's legs without compromising natural movement.
Brace Applications:
Hyperflexion or hyperextension of the carpal and tarsal (in cases of severe front leg hyperextension or hyperflexion, use Balto® Bone)
Minor ligament distortions
Sprains and strains of the tarsus or carpus
Minor fractures of the tarsus or carpus bones
Post-surgical support
This brace can be used on healthy joints, muscles and ligaments to prevent injury and provide structural support.
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
All Balto® braces are made from high-quality materials, not neoprene, which is known to collect bacteria, provide inadequate support, and wear down quickly. A variety of sizes ensure a secure fit. No pinching straps.
Recommended for all ages unless otherwise advised by veterinarians. Apply brace for balanced increments of time, if appropriate, for pets under the age of 2 to prevent possible growth disturbances.

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!

Ares is a 7 year old male Belgian Malinois who competes in protection sports and helps with herding my livestock when needed. He partially ruptured his tendon in his pastern, so we decided to get him a Balto Splint brace from KVP. Initially when he started wearing the brace, he walked around trying to avoid putting full weight on that leg, shaking it, etc. He adapted fairly quickly though and now just goes through a brief 'this feels weird' period when I put it on then settles down. I've been very happy with the brace, and the customer support from the company. I've already recommended them to a couple of people I know and will continue to recommend them. I wish I'd known about this company 8 years ago when another one of my dogs tore her cruciate. I think I would have been happy with a brace from KVP.
