An orthosis that provides quality support and comfort for an active life.
Ensure your dog's stability and comfort with every step with our wrist brace.
Our carpal brace for dogs is carefully designed to provide maximum support to weakened or injured wrists, which is key to improving stability and reducing pain. This brace is made from high quality materials to ensure long-lasting comfort for everyday wear without restricting your dog's natural movement.
It is ideal for dogs recovering from injury or those suffering from chronic carpal joint problems. Our brace allows your dog to remain active and enjoy movement without restriction, contributing to a faster and more comfortable recovery.

Carpal brace type: caudal fastening (from underneath the paw)
Our carpal brace for dogs is the ideal solution for supporting and stabilizing weakened or injured parts of the wrist. This brace is designed with a focus on comfort and freedom of movement, allowing your dog to remain active and enjoy life even during recovery.
The brace allows the joint to flex but prevents hyperextension (overstretching) when the paw hits the ground. At the back of the brace, there is a fastening strap near the joint that restricts wrist movement – the range of motion can be adjusted as needed.
This version can also be made without joint flexion if required. Everything depends on the individual needs of the animal. We always take into account the animal's diagnosis and injuries. For example, the above solution is ideal for treating paw pad issues, while for a brachial plexus injury, where the entire forelimb requires full support, a different approach would be necessary.
Carpal brace type: cranial fastening (from the front of the limb)
This second version of the brace is applied from the top (cranial) side of the limb. The brace ensures wrist stability and protection from further injury. Its design allows the joint to flex but prevents hyperextension (overstretching).
The advantage of this variant is that the dog's paw remains free within the brace, allowing contact with the surface and enabling it to continue fully utilizing its proprioception. The lower edge of the brace is reinforced with high-quality padding to prevent chafing at the toes. With carefully selected materials and an ergonomic design, this variant is ideal for long-term wear and ensures optimal mobility during rehabilitation.
Functions of the carpal / wrist brace
Our carpal (wrist) brace was developed to fully meet the needs of stabilizing the thoracic limb in the wrist (carpal joint) area of dogs. Because the dog carries up to 60% of its weight on its forelimbs, the carpal joint is a significant and complex joint that is subject to high stress during movement and in a static position. The carpus consists of seven small bones connected by ligamentous structures and contains fifteen cartilages. Damage to this joint significantly affects the movement and position of the animal, leading to further compensations in the other limb and overloading of the muscle chains, with associated risk of further injury.
The carpal brace not only stabilises the wrist but also helps to reduce pain and promote better regeneration of the affected tissues.
Using our brace can effectively eliminate the risk of compensatory injuries and minimize the chances of further potential injuries to an otherwise healthy limb.
* This brace can also be worn by cats. For more information and to evaluate the suitability of the brace for a particular cat, please consult with us. We must assess the cat's health, specific needs and consider the suitability of the brace in the context of the particular situation.

For whom is the carpal brace intended
The carpal brace will serve your dog in the following situations:
- After surgery: In these cases, it is necessary to stabilize the wrist joint to prevent further complications.
- Prevention of surgery: Especially in the case of impending arthrodesis, when surgery is not yet indicated, a brace can prevent further problems and allow your dog a period of "waiting for the next steps" or even avoid surgery altogether.
- Post-surgical healing
- Supporting a healthy limb during amputation: We recommend a carpal brace for animals that have had a full limb amputated but are not suitable candidates for full limb replacement with a prosthesis.
- Carpal tunnel: If your dog is struggling with a crotch, the use of our carpal brace is definitely appropriate. Our brace effectively prevents hyperextension of the carpal joint, which can prevent problems associated with carpal tunnel.
- Deformities and developmental/growth defects: In case your pet has a congenital deformity and the carpal joint needs to be stabilized, the carpal brace also meets these requirements.
- Brachial plexus nerve injury - In the case of a brachial plexus injury, it is necessary to stabilize the wrist so the animal can lean on the limb. The brace allows the animal better control of movement, which supports regeneration and alleviates pain. Additionally, it can help prevent excessive strain and tension on the affected muscles and tendons.
