Product Description
The BT HOCK brace is an innovative solution for the treatment of hock injuries in dogs. Designed to offer support and relief for conditions that cause pain, lameness or difficulty with movement, this brace features three pockets for the insertion of rigid side splints and an adjustable front splint. These splints are essential for immobilizing the joint in critical situations, such as after surgery or in the presence of neurological problems.
The BT HOCK brace can also be used without splints for less serious conditions such as arthritis or arthrosis, exploiting the compressive effect of the material to increase blood pressure and temperature in the affected area, thus contributing to the reduction of pain. Furthermore, the brace serves as protection for plasters or bandages applied to surgical wounds or bedsores, ensuring the correct position of the medications and the protection of the injured area.
The design of the BT HOCK brace aims to stabilize the joint, reducing the load on it and accelerating the functional recovery process. Its tutoring action is essential to improve the work of the ligaments, reduce pain and promote healing. The brace is breathable, easy to wear and suitable for both pre- and post-operative. The splints can be removed if not needed and the front splint is adjustable to fit the dog's specific needs.
Therapeutic Indications
The BT HOCK brace is indicated for the treatment of various hock pathologies, including chronic arthritis, osteoarthritis, arthrodesis with or without plates, osteochondrosis, ligament injuries, contractures, laxity and other conditions that require precautionary immobilization. It is particularly useful both before and after surgery, contributing to faster functional recovery and preventing secondary damage thanks to its stabilizing effect and reduction of the load on the joint.
The brace is also recommended for dogs who need support when healing from surgical wounds or for the protection of bed sores. Its compressive action helps reduce pain and swelling, while ensuring the flexion and flexibility of the muscles, while the ligaments remain contracted, promoting the necessary muscular work.
Composition
The BT HOCK brace is made with high quality materials that guarantee breathability and comfort. The design includes three pockets for inserting rigid side splints and an adjustable front splint, which can be used to completely block the hock joint. The compression material increases blood pressure and temperature in the hock area, reducing pain and promoting healing.
Precautions
When using the BT HOCK brace, it is important to monitor the dog to prevent it from being left alone for prolonged periods and to protect the skin from possible redness or irritation caused by the splints. If splints are used, it is recommended that you consult a veterinarian to ensure that the brace is suitable for your dog's specific needs. It is essential to follow the instructions for correct positioning of the brace to avoid further injuries.
Method of Administration
The BT HOCK brace must be worn following the instructions provided to ensure maximum comfort and therapeutic effectiveness. It can be worn directly on the dog's skin or over a bandage, as needed. The lateral and front splints must be inserted into the appropriate pockets and adjusted to ensure correct immobilization of the joint.
Target Species
The BT HOCK brace was designed specifically for dogs of different sizes and breeds that require orthopedic support for the hock. It is available in different sizes to best adapt to the size and needs of each dog.
