Carpal Hyperextension

A moderately supportive 3.0 mm neoprene brace that is helpful in supporting the lower limb in dogs and cats. Keep your older and athletic pets happy and healthier by wearing support wraps when exercising.

Benefits of the Carpal Support Brace:

• Stabilize the carpal joint (wrist)
• reduce hyperextension of the carpal
• play longer
• soothe arthritic joints
• decreases joint swelling

Breathable fabric with supportive velcro straps providing extra comfort when going on walks or exercising. Nothing will restrict the natural movement of your pet. The soft fabric will not cause rubbing or friction to the lower limb.

The Labra Canine Front Leg Wrap is the perfect solution if your dog is suffering from limited mobility.

This neoprene compression wrap provides stability and support to your dog's front legs without compromising flexibility. It can be used to help dogs heal from joint injuries.
This wrap can also be used as a preventative measure for elderly dogs which are at a higher risk for injuries.

Vital Tips: There are many soft, neoprene leg braces on the market and it can be hard to choose.  When choosing a neoprene brace, think about what your pet needs.  Does your pet need light support and protection or something more heavy-duty?  Will your pet fit into a standard size brace or is the brace able to be trimmed to fit better?  And when choosing a brace, look for these features:

• How thick is the neoprene material?  Neoprene braces usually run from 1.5mm (ultralight) to 5.0mm+ (heavy-duty).  The thicker the material the more supportive/stabilizing the brace will be.  Remember - the more stabilizing the brace, the less flexible the brace (and joint) will be.
• How many outer cinching straps and how wide are they? The more straps, the more support and security.  The wider the cinching straps, the less pressure points on the leg and the more supportive.  
• Does the brace have metal supports or springs?  Metal supports or springs provide more stability.  Springs allow the joint to move while metal supports freeze the joint in place.
• Is the brace able to be trimmed for a better fit?  Neoprene material does not fray so it can be trimmed to provide a better fit.  But if there's stitching, the brace cannot be trimmed.  The better the fit, the better the brace will do its job for the pet.

Features:

• Material can be trimmed for a more custom fit
• A hole can be cut into the Wrap to expose the accessory carpal pad (aka - stopper pad) and/or dew claw
• The stretchy material will not fray when cut
• Outer, elastic straps provide a stretchy, conforming fit -these straps can also be cut if too long
• Carpo-Flex Sports Wrap is made of washable, easy-to-care-for materials that dries quickly

Uses:

• Light support/protection for the front leg/wrist
• Ideal for mild wrist arthritis, strains, sprains, weakness, and prevention of re-injury
• Flexible enough to use during high activity (outer straps run above and below the wrist to allow greater flexibility)

VITAL TIPS
Leg braces need to fit well (hug the limb) in order to provide the best support. You can place a plastic PVC pipe over a dog's leg, and though PVC is super strong, it will do nothing to stabilize a pet's leg because it does not conform to the shape of the leg.
Dogs are tough to fit for braces. This is because there is more variability in the shape and size of the dog than any other mammal in the world. Did you get that? In the world! Pretty amazing! So it's not easy to come up with a "Small, Medium, Large..." size that fits most dogs. But Thera-Paw has come the closest we've seen outside of a completely custom brace. This is because Thera-Paw's Carpo-Flex-X can be cut to fit - In fact, it can be trimmed anywhere that does not have stitching. Both the width and the length of the brace can be trimmed for a better fit. On top of that, the brace can be made more supportive with the addition of stability straps that can be applied in various configurations depending on your dog's needs. No wonder the Carpo-Flex-X is Thera-Paw's #1 selling product. And deservedly so!
Bonus features of the Carpo-Flex-X are that it's even more customizable - you can apply some self-adhesive padding (sold separately) inside to make it more comfortable, and you can even buy more stability straps if your dog needs more support. And the brace is completely washable - it's made of wetsuit material. Cool!

Features of the NeoAlly Brace:

* not sure of the thickness of material but it  has metal springs (removable) so it's very supportive but flexible   * 2-3 cinching straps (this brace is a little shorter than others)  * cannot be trimmed  * we noted the photo shows the brace is applied too high on the leg to be effective for wrist support - for better wrist support, the brace should sit just above the paw (ask your vet for assistance)
