The Hero Braces Custom Dog Knee Brace (Stifle Brace) is the premier, veterinary-owned solution for Canine Cranial Cruciate Ligament (CCL/ACL), Stifle joint instability, and arthritis. This brace is fully custom-made from a mold of your dog's leg, ensuring a perfect, non-slipping fit that encourages immediate weight-bearing and faster recovery without the need for surgery. Designed by human prosthetists, our unique, lightweight plastic design directly resists the painful "cranial drawer" motion caused by an ACL tear, providing superior and consistent stability compared to generic soft braces or those relying solely on weakening straps.

Dog Wrist Brace
Known as a carpus brace in a dog. Carpus refers to many bones of the wrist. With so many bones, age and weight tend to cause laxity in the ligaments. You see a variety of different problems because of this.Eventually, something is going to break down.

Whole Body Health
When one limb is injured, the body finds ways to compensate. Save their back and other joints too!
What does research say?
In a study at the University of Minnesota Veterinary School, 11 of 14 dogs with ligament instability had improved stability and reduced lameness. This study was of athletic dogs.
(Note: This study used a fabric braces on the dogs. The Hero brace is a custom plastic brace that provides more support. This is helpful to heavier dogs.)
How Do Hero Dog Wrist Braces Work?
Carpal Biomechanics
3-Point Force System — Using the ground force, we only need two forces in opposite directions to make the leg stand straight. The other two are lifting behind the carpus and pushing in front of the radius/ulna. See where the plastic is in our brace. The plastic applies the forces instead of straps that can fail with dirt and muck. Hero braces take those worries away.
Ground Reaction Force — Ground force and body weight counteract gravity to help with the correction. That's why we include the paw for better results
Jointed vs Non-Jointed, How do I decide?
Jointed — This design is great for dogs that have carpal hyperextension AND still have the strength to push off with the limb.
Non-Jointed — This design is best for carpal hyperextension with little carpal strength OR in cases where the joint needs to be immobilized to allow healing of the soft tissue tears and inflammation.

What do Veterinarians Say?
As you know, in the real world, not all dogs can have surgery. For whatever reason, owners need another option to help their dog.
Comprehensive Vets bring you multiple options. Bracing helps those dogs who can't do surgery. Read our blog about how braces work.
