The OrthoVet Front Splint for dogs and cats assists with rehabilitating injuries to the lower front limbs that need to be splinted or braced in the normal walking position. Modeled after human splints, the Front Splint provides stability and support for the lower front legs of your pet (carpal and paw).

 

PLEASE NOTE, SPLINTS ARE ALL BLACK INCLUDING THE PADDING. The red is not available to purchase.

 

- Constructed of a lightweight, rigid plastic exterior, soft interior foam padding, non-skid pad on bottom, and touch-fastener closures.
- Front Splint mimics the contour of a pet’s lower leg, extending above carpal and completely under the foot to provide full support.
- This sturdy and supportive design allows weight to be put on the injured or weak limb.
- An easy and convenient way to protect daily bandaging and wound care.


During night time hours we recommend using the Walkin’ Wrist Hugger to continue to offer light support when not wearing the splint.

To get more of a custom or snug fit add Walkin’ Custom-fit Foam sold separately.

 

May benefit pets with the following conditions:

- Soft tissue injuries to carpal or metacarpal tendons, ligaments, or nerves

- Bone fracture recovery

- Carpal or metacarpal joint instabilities, hyper extension or malformations

- Neurological conditions causing knuckling of paw

- Post-surgical protection.

- Arthritis support

How to Choose the Right Size

Please keep in mind that the OrthoVet Front Splints are designed to support the lower part of the legs. They will not stabilize the elbow on the front leg. Please check with your local veterinarian before using the splint on your dog, cat or other pet.

OrthoVet Splints are a “Generically Made Splint” and will not fit every contour of the animal’s leg. If you have any questions on the sizing or fit of these splints, please get in contact with us.  We can also offer custom-made OrthoVet splints designed for long-term solutions, this will require a cast to be taken of your dog's leg for a custom splint to be made up.
