Product Description
The VEST with Ehmer Sling is an exceptional alternative to traditional bandaging, designed with your pet's comfort and recovery in mind. This system is machine washable and reusable, offering convenience and peace of mind. Unlike conventional bandaging, our VEST with Ehmer Sling reduces skin trauma, enhancing your dog's comfort and accelerating their recovery.
Easy to apply and suitable for either hind limb, this system makes rehabilitation straightforward throughout the healing process. It includes the VEST, Ehmer Sling, Skirt (for dogs with longer torsos), and an Additional Stabilization Strap. The VEST acts as the base, with the Skirt adding extra length if needed. The Ehmer Sling holds the hock securely, with two arms attaching to the VEST or Skirt. The Additional Stabilization Strap offers additional security and flexibility in positioning, ensuring your pet’s limb is maintained correctly following reduction of craniodoral coxofemoral luxations.
Notes: We recommend that a veterinary professional applies the product initially.
