Description

Ideal for ACL (CCL) injuries — the most common joint issue in animals. These braces reduce pain, stabilize the knee, and may serve as surgical alternatives or recovery support. 

Features
Custom Fit External CCL Support

This brace acts as an external ligament. It limits cranial tibial thrust—the same force a healthy CCL would resist—providing reliable stabilization when your dog is walking, running, or playing. While it does not heal the tear, it helps restore functional movement and reduce discomfort.

Dynamic Suspension and Secure Fit

Our suspension system is designed to keep the brace in place during movement, without over-tightening. It adapts to your dog’s body and movement style so they can live actively and comfortably.

Natural Joint Movement with Flexible Hinges

The brace includes precision multi-axis hinges that follow the natural path of the knee joint. This allows your dog to move fluidly while minimizing compensatory stress on nearby joints and the opposite limb.

Water-Resistant, Durable Materials

Our braces are made for real dogs with real lives. Materials are waterproof, easy to clean, and rugged enough for daily use—whether your dog is recovering in rehab or playing at the lake.

Adjustable Strapping for a Changing Body

As muscle tone and movement patterns shift, our strapping system allows for on-the-fly adjustments without the need for tools or heavy grip strength. The fit can be updated easily over time.

Tarsal Cuff for Extra Suspension

Each stifle brace includes a tarsal cuff to anchor the brace below the hock, adding suspension and rotational control. This improves stability and keeps the device in place more effectively for long-term wear.
Considerations
This brace must be worn during all active hours. It provides stability only while on, and must be removed at night or during unsupervised rest. Jumping on and off furniture or using doggy doors without the brace can lead to further injury.

Braces do not repair torn ligaments. However, they do reduce instability and help protect the joint while your dog remains active. In some cases, a torn meniscus may still require surgery, especially if pain persists.

Regular check-ins are important. Your vet or our team may recommend small adjustments after the first few weeks of wear. These are normal and expected, especially as your dog becomes more active.

Rehabilitation makes a big difference. Your dog may need help learning to sit, lie down, manage stairs, or walk correctly while wearing the brace. A certified rehab specialist can help guide this process.

Not all dogs are candidates. Your dog must have healthy skin, allow limb handling, and have enough space between hip, knee, and ankle to accommodate the brace. Very short-legged, obese, or neurologically impaired dogs may not be good candidates.

Braces are often a long-term solution but may also be used to delay surgery or help during recovery. We’ll work with your vet to decide what’s best for your dog’s condition.
