Description

The perfect support for radio-carpal joint: BT Splint Cats. The brace is specially designed to support the radiocarpal and carpometacarpal joints, in the front paws. It is ideal for cases of hyperflexion or hyperextension of the carpus, minor ligament distortions, sprains and incomplete fracture of the bone, when conservative treatment is preferable to surgery. When used on the front leg, we recommend also using the BT Bone Cats (on the other leg), because its use on the healthy leg will help the cat compensate better for the added load caused by the loss of use of the other leg. Once the brace has been placed around the cat’s leg, it is not necessary that the two white-trimmed edges meet, since the closure of the brace is by means of the blue straps and stabilization is provided by the splint on the back of the brace. ADVANTAGES Effective, practical, ergonomic: the BT Splint Cats is all of this. The robust, mouldable metal splint contained within the fabric follows the shape of the rear part of the antebrachium right down until it encloses the footpad, stabilising the affected area and allowing the cat a good degree of movement. Also ideal for protecting bandages inserted inside, it makes for faster recovery times. Sizes: XS Up to 5-7kg
