Front Leg Splint for Dogs - Fractures & Carpal Injuries

When your dog suffers a front leg fracture, carpal injury, or neurological condition affecting their forelimb, proper immobilisation is essential for safe recovery. This veterinary-grade front leg splint from Ortocanis provides firm, reliable support to help your dog heal comfortably and regain mobility.

Designed and manufactured in Barcelona by Ortocanis — European leaders in veterinary orthopaedics — this splint is moulded from thermodeformable polypropylene for a close, customised fit, with a closed-cell foam lining for comfort against the skin. It's suitable for a wide range of front leg conditions including fractures, carpal hyperextension, radial nerve paralysis, and brachial plexus injuries.

The rigid outer shell provides the structural support needed to stabilise the limb, while the padded inner lining helps protect delicate skin during extended wear. The splint can be gently warmed and reshaped for an even more precise fit — ideal for dogs with unusual limb conformations or post-surgical swelling.

Trusted by veterinary professionals and rehabilitation specialists across Europe, Ortocanis orthopaedic devices are designed with both clinical effectiveness and animal welfare in mind. Whether your dog is recovering from trauma, surgery, or a neurological episode, this splint is a reliable tool to support their journey back to full mobility.

N/A

1. Measure your dog's leg carefully and select the correct size using the Ortocanis sizing guide. 2. Ensure the leg is clean and dry before applying the splint. 3. Position the splint along the front of the leg from below the elbow to just past the paw, ensuring the limb is held in a natural, neutral position. 4. Secure using the included straps — firm but not tight enough to restrict circulation. 5. Check the fit regularly throughout the day for signs of rubbing, swelling, or discomfort. 6. Remove periodically to inspect the skin and allow the limb to breathe, as directed by your vet. 7. If the splint requires reshaping, warm gently with a heat source (such as warm water or a heat gun on low) and remould while soft — allow to cool fully before reapplying. 8. Consult your vet before first use and follow their prescribed wearing schedule.

For veterinary use under professional guidance. Always consult your vet before use and follow their instructions for wearing duration and monitoring. Check the limb daily for signs of swelling, skin irritation, pressure sores, or restricted circulation — remove immediately if any are observed. Do not apply over open wounds without veterinary advice. Ensure straps are secure but never overly tight. Keep out of reach of children. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Clean with a mild soap and warm water; allow to dry fully before reapplying.
