TECHNOLOGY

CUSHIONING FOAM STRAPS

Our brace is made with medical grade closed-cell foam, providing comfort and additional support. The padded foam cushion under each hook and loop tape strap helps prevent irritation and create better grip for the brace. If needed, the straps can be cut down for an even more accurate fit.

Alloy Range of Motion Hinge

The Performance Dog Knee Brace allows for full range of motion. You can calibrate the hinge to allow for limited or locked range of motion if needed. However, we advise you to not touch these screws unless directed to and done so by your veterinarian for those rare cases when this may be beneficial for your dog.

Moldable Thermoplastic Shell

The shell of our Performance Dog Knee Brace is a durable thermoplastic material that allows you to get an even more customized fit for your dog's leg. You can heat the upper and lower shells with a hair dryer until they soften slightly, then adjust them for a superior fit.
