<p>The <strong>Ortocanis Original knee support</strong> helps dogs with limping and joint pain for an improved quality of life.</p> <p>Improved flexibility in tight muscles enables the dog to quickly regain a normal walking gait in the affected limb. The slight pressure that the brace exerts alleviates the burden on the joints, increasing stability and preventing the injury from turning into a more serious condition.</p> <p>The brace has both an elastic and stabilizing effect. In the event of damaged cruciate ligaments, the dog may use the knee brace before the surgical procedure (along with the prescribed treatment) to prevent loss of muscle mass. Five days after surgery, the dog can use the brace again once the swelling has gone.</p> <p><strong>Sizes</strong></p> <p>When choosing the size, measure the circumference of the upper tight, <strong>please check the images to make sure of taking correctly the measurement</strong>.</p> <ol> <li>Wrap a measuring tape around the upper thigh and find the size that corresponds to your measurement.</li> <li>In case of doubt between two sizes select the smaller one</li> </ol> <p>Sizes and measures:</p> <p>Mini: Tight contour from 5.9'' - 6.3''</p> <p>XXXS: Tight contour from 6.7'' - 7''</p> <p>XXS: Tight contour from 7.5'' - 8.2''</p> <p>XS: Tight contour from 8.6'' - 9.4''</p> <p>S: Tight contour from 9.8'' - 11''</p> <p>M: Tight contour from 11.4'' - 12.2''</p> <p>L: Tight contour from 12.6'' - 14.2''</p> <p>XL: Tight contour from 14.5'' - 16.1''</p> <p>XXL: Tight contour from 16.5'' - 18.5''</p> <p>All sizes are standard, please remember that your pet's measurement may not be an exact match of the chart.</p> <p><strong>IMPORTANT</strong>: Some dogs have a fallen hip and the upper belt may slide back and fall off.
