Balto® Pull – Brace for Hyperflexion Phalanges
Supports:
- Proprioceptive deficits
- Sciatic nerve damage
- Carpal flexural deformity/ Dorsiflexion
- Paw soreness
- Hyperflexion of phalanges
- Neurological conditions affecting paw placement
- Knuckling
The Balto® Pull focuses on addressing neurological illnesses characterized by significant proprioceptive impairments. The canine Achilles tendon brace is an excellent remedy for dogs experiencing restricted movement after sustaining injuries to the hock/Achilles tendon. This anchor strap is designed to offer stability and support to your dog's hind legs while allowing for natural movement. It is manufactured from a breathable material that is not neoprene. The paw brace is a highly recommended choice for dogs who want extra assistance while maintaining an active way of life.
BRACE APPLICATIONS
- Dorsiflexion - when the dog is unable to sense the position of the limb on the ground and tends to stand on the top of its paw
- Damage to the sciatic nerve because of a fracture of the pelvis or femur; in order to ensure that the neurological problem does not lead to orthopedic damage due to shortening of the flexor tendons of the paw.
- Support neurological complications that affect the paw: Degenerative myelopathy (DM), Cervical Vertebral Instability (CVI), Fibrocartilaginous Embolism (FCE), Invertebral Disc Disease (IVDD)
- Commonly used in combination with the Balto Hock Brace for hock-to-paw support, actin to pull the canine toe up.
BRACE FEATURES
- Two toe bands provided with brace: one soft fitting for long-term and indoor use, and a harder fitting ideal for the outdoors and rough terrain.
- Adjustable upper straps can be adjusted on the leg to ensure an excellent fit

Learn How to Properly Fit the Balto Pull to Your Pet
Non-neoprene braces from Balto® are constructed from superior materials; neoprene is notorious for harboring pathogens, offering insufficient support, and deteriorating rapidly. A range of dimensions guarantees a snug fit. A no-pinch product. Recommended for all ages, unless veterinarians advise otherwise. When applicable, apply the brace in proportionate increments of time for animals under the age of two to avoid potential growth disruptions.

Maintenance & Repair
A clean brace not only prevents infections, irritation, and a stinky smell; but it also allows your brace to last longer. To help support the longevity of your bracing device, here are some of our tips on how to properly clean your orthopedic bracing:
- Remove as much hair as possible from any Velcro® frequently to prevent compaction.
- Use lint roller or lightly adhesive tape to remove hair from the material of the brace.
- By hand, use warm water and a gentle cleansing soap to remove any stains and odors.
- Rinse soap thoroughly from the brace
- Hang to dry. Once the brace is completely dry, it is ready for use!
