Bilateral hip orthosis

Especially useful in case of hip dysplasia, hip instability due to trauma, and as a  post-operative support.

It helps preventing hip joints from subluxating (partial dislocation) or luxation (dislocation) while providing over all stability support for the legs. These are key factors in providing increased activity levels and reducing pain and inflammation.

By controlling the range of motion within the hip joint using mechanical joints, the bilateral hip orthosis assists in preventing unstable hip joints from dislocation partially or completely. Having metal supports on each leg and connecting together on the pelvic region provides the legs with stability support. This form of stability will enable the paws and legs to maintain in a good stance position giving better leg movement and control when walking.

The objective is achieved by having custom-formed plastic that fits intimately onto the canine body. Incorporated within the custom-moulded plastic are mechanical joints. A custom body harness suspends everything into position to maintain fit and alignment during the dynamics of canine movements.

Ortocanis custom-designed orthosis

Orthotic applications are fabricated out of thermoform plastic with thermo foam lining for a comfortable intimate fitting. A biomechanical approach is used when configuring the strapping system to suspend devices. Elastic integration of the strapping system allows for a comfortable fit while maintaining optimal suspension, so as not to impede on the dynamic movement of dogs anatomy.

Orthotics are designed for the following three applications:

—Prophylactic
—Rehabilitative
—Functional
