Description
Features
Targeted Elbow Support
Designed to reduce pain and instability in animals with elbow dysplasia, arthritis, subluxation, or chronic joint degeneration. It supports the joint externally to improve comfort and reduce compensatory strain on the rest of the limb.
Custom Fit for Complex Anatomy
The elbow is one of the most complex joints in the body. Our braces are individually crafted to accommodate the unique shape, angulation, and muscle structure of each patient.
Option for Hinged or Static Design
Depending on your animal’s needs, the brace can be built as a static immobilizer or include hinges for gradual, controlled range of motion. Some cases begin with a locked design and transition to a hinged setup over time.
Durable, Waterproof Construction
Every brace is made from waterproof, medical-grade materials that are easy to clean and hold up to daily wear, rehab, and outdoor use.
Mechanical Strapping for Adjustability
Our strapping system allows for ongoing adjustability without tools or special strength, so the fit can be updated over time as swelling, posture, or muscle tone change.
Considerations
Bracing Requirements
Bracing the elbow requires enough space and bony landmarks for suspension. The brace must clear the shoulder and avoid impeding movement of the paw or wrist below. Animals with very short humeri or obesity may not be good candidates.
Handling and Tolerance
The animal must tolerate handling of the upper limb for both casting and daily wear. This includes gentle positioning of the elbow and placement of the brace around the thorax if needed.
Health Considerations
Open wounds, unhealed fractures, or skin breakdown near the joint must be resolved before fitting. Severe shoulder dysfunction may also limit success with this type of brace.
Usage and Monitoring
The brace should be worn during waking hours and removed at night or when unsupervised. Monitoring is important for skin health, movement changes, and behavioral cues.
Growth and Fit
We strongly recommend waiting until your animal is skeletally mature before pursuing a brace. If started too young, the brace will likely be outgrown quickly, and multiple replacements may be needed throughout growth.
