Ortocanis Canine Hip & Back Brace

Ortocanis Canine Hip & Back Brace

The OrtoCanis® Canine Hip & Back Brace is designed to provide support and compression to the dog's joints and muscles in the hips and lower back. It is suitable for active dogs of all ages, that suffer from arthritic conditions, hip dysplasia, decreased endurance during activity, hip and/or lower back pain/weakness and hind leg lameness (caused by damage to the sacral verebrae). Plus, it is a useful aid for dogs recovering from surgery/injury and older animals with mobility problems.

These Canine products are designed to provide the appropriate support, without impeding essential, natural movement and are frequently recommended by Vets and other medical practitioners.

The robust Hip & Back Brace is manufactured using dynamic, high resistance neoprene with plush Velcro, stainless steel hardware, nylon attachments and heavy duty nylon webbing.
