TARSO-FLEX SPORTS WRAP (VP)
Tarso-Flex Sports Wrap provides light support/protection for the tarsal joint. Helps to support the tarsus and relieve pain associated with:
- arthritis
- mild weakness of the ankle
- ligament strains and sprains
This brace offers ideal protection for highly-active dogs (e.g., agility, field trial, hunting, hiking). For dogs that need more support try Tarso-Flex X.
Foam Padding: Foam padding is used to improve comfort and protection of the leg. Foam padding sticks to the inside of the brace and can be purchased separately.
Anti-Chafing Powder: If your pet has sensitive skin, we recommend applying anti-chafing powder inside the brace to help protect the leg. Power sold separately.
Care Instructions: Tarso-Flex Sports Wrap is made of washable, easy-to-care-for material. Use warm water and mild detergent and let air dry.
Customized Fit: Tarso-Flex Sports Wrap comes in 4 sizes and can be trimmed in width and height for a better fit. Cinching strap ends can be trimmed off if too long.
Tarso-Flex Sports Wrap MODIFIED
If your pet does not fit into a standard size, consider selecting the "Tarso-Flex Sports Wrap MODIFIED" version at checkout. The MODIFIED version is cut to size to fit your pet. Foam padding is applied inside the brace if needed based on the information you provide about your pet note - since this brace is modified to fit your pet, there are no returns or refunds). Instructions for MODIFIED:
- Before you click the "Pay" button, you will see a box labeled "Please leave any additional comments"
- In this box, include your pet's ankle circumference and height based on the measurement instructions, breed, weight, and medical issue affecting the leg.
For pets that require a custom brace, we recommend the Custom Tarsal Support.
