Custom Orthotics (Braces) for Animals
Stifle Orthosis
The OrthoPets stifle devices are effective for: cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) injuries, fracture management, and luxating patella, as an alternative to surgery or used after surgery, post-operatively.
The most common injury when pet owners and veterinarians consider using a dog knee brace (stifle orthosis) is for a torn cranial cruciate ligament (CCL).
Our orthotic devices have the following features:
Force Coupling
Advanced biomechanical principles are used to stabilize stifle joint injuries such as the CCL, one of the most common injuries to pets.
Polycentric Hinges
Not all hinges are appropriate for pets. Our specially designed polycentric hinges are designed to replicate the complex motion of your dog’s knee (stifle) joint, providing articulation and limiting shear forces.
Adjustable Mechanical Strapping
Adjustable mechanical strapping gives you improved control and support with less demand on your grip strength making adjusting to muscle mass changes effortless.
Waterproof
Getting into the water is not only fun for your pet, it can be the most important thing ever! Our material selections have been specifically focused on allowing your pet to enjoy complete freedom of activities, like swimming.
Elbow Orthosis
The most common reasons for considering an elbow orthosis include dynamic luxation (dislocation) and osteoarthritis.
Innovative Suspension
Maintaining device suspension to your pet's limb without straps or harnesses through innovative methods.
Arthokinematic Joint Control
Using advanced biomechanical sciences, our devices are designed to control the alignment and magnitudes of force acting through your pet's joints.

3-point Corrective System
The orthosis utilizes a 3-point corrective system with advanced biomechanical stabilization to support and control forces.
Pre-op, Post-op, Non-op
Orthopedic injuries are very complex and require a sophisticated device design approaches to meet the needs of your pet's injury, treatment, and return to activities and play.
Injury to Recovery
Specialized componentry creates full immobilization in the beginning and is easily destabilized to the level of support your pet needs during recovery.
Sports Recovery Brace
Your pets device is designed to be modified into a sports recovery brace allowing your pet to safely return to normal high levels of activity with the necessary protection.
Innovative Device Designs
No two pets are exactly the same. We incorporate the uniqueness of your pet's biomechanical needs and purposefully match state-of-the-art materials and device design accordingly.
Carpus Orthosis
The carpus is composed of 3 joints, 7 carpal bones, 2 antebrachial bones (radius and ulna), and 4 or 5 metacarpal bones. There are multiple ligaments holding this structure together. Injuries can occur at any of the 3 joints (antebrachiocarpal, middle carpal, or carpometacarpal); additionally any of these bones can be displaced (luxated) or fractured.
