This knee brace helps dogs with limping and joint pain for an improved quality of life.
The knee brace reduces pain and swelling by improving balance among the muscle groups involved. Improved flexibility in tight muscles enables the dog to quickly regain a normal walking gait in the affected limb. The slight pressure that this surface brace exerts alleviates the burden on the joints, increasing their stability and preventing the injury from turning into a more serious condition.
The brace has both an elastic and stabilising effect. In the event of damaged cruciate ligaments, the dog may use the knee brace before the surgical procedure (along with the prescribed treatment) to prevent loss of muscle mass. Five days after surgery, the dog can use the brace again once the swelling has gone down.
Instructions for Use
The knee brace has to be correctly pulled up on the dog’s leg until it covers the knee area. Place the fastening strap of the brace under the abdomen and over the back and fasten the Velcro on the outside. Be careful not to injure the dog when placing it, apply force to the brace while still respecting the natural position of the knee.
Sizes
When choosing the size, measure the upper circumference (A) of the highest part of the leg. Wrap a measuring tape around the thigh above the knee and near the groin. In the table below find the size that corresponds to the measurement.
If in doubt between two sizes, select the smaller one.

Some dogs have a fallen hip and the upper belt may slide back and fall off. To prevent this from happening you can purchase the LUMBAR FASTENING STRAP
If the size you need is not available in the above table, or if you prefer a better fit, you can order a CUSTOM KNEE BRACE

Hola Reyes, algunos perros tienen la cadera caída y la cinta superior puede resbalar hacia detrás. Para estos casos tienes la cinta de sujeción lumbar, mira aquí: https://www.ortocanis.com/es/accesorios-perro-discapacitado/307-tensor-lumbar-para-rodillera-canina.html
Hola Iris, para determinar si la talla escogida es la correcta deberás notar que puesta y con el perro en estación no tiene arrugas y que por la parte frontal el protector hace contacto y una ligera presión en la rodilla, de forma que pueden entrar un dedo pero con cierto esfuerzo. Por la parte de atrás es normal que esté floja. Cualquier cosa puedes cambiarla.
Hola Ruth, gracias por tu feedback. Recuerda que esos caso puedes utilizar la cinta de sujeción lumbar: https://www.ortocanis.com/es/accesorios-perro-discapacitado/307-tensor-lumbar-para-rodillera-canina.html
Good evening Claudia, thanks for your order with ortocanis.com. The "falling from the back" with some dogs can happen due to their shape. To avoid this we have a belt with velcro which you can purchase and it attaches to the knee brace and then to the harness of the dog, the one used with the leash. It is basically a connection running on the back of the dog between the knee brace and the harness
Dear Sandra, thanks for your feedback. Please revise or readjust the upper strap, it might be too loose and that is the reason it does not go back to its place when the dog stand up again. Also check our knee brace fastening belt to avoid the strap to slide back.
Hola Sara, gracias por tu feedback. Los pastores alemanes, al tener la cadera caída, suelen necesitar el accesorio de cinta de sujeción lumbar para el protector de rodilla. Adjunto el enlace: https://www.ortocanis.com/es/accesorios-perro-discapacitado/307-tensor-lumbar.html
Hola María Teresa, muchas gracias por tu pedido en Ortocanis y muchísimas gracias por tu feedback. Nos ayuda a seguir adelante y mejorar la vida de más peludos :DEn algunos perros, por su forma del lomo, se puede deslizar hacia atrás. Por suerte desarrollamos un accesorio para evitar este efecto: http://www.ortocanis.com/es/accesorios-perro-discapacitado/307-tensor-lumbar.html
Hola Olga, los bulldog ingleses son algo complicados y se salen de las formas estándar. Es más recomendable escoger el protector de rodilla a medida para estos casos. Si no la has utilizado la podemos cambiar sin problema. http://www.ortocanis.com/es/ayudas-tecnicas/233-protector-de-rodilla-a-medida.html
