Product Description

The VEST with Ehmer Sling is a superior alternative to bandaging. The products are machine washable and reusable for multiple patients. The VEST with Ehmer Sling eliminates the trauma to the skin caused by traditional bandaging, improving patient comfort and recovery. The system is easy to apply and can be used for either hind limb. Rehabilitation therapy can be performed with ease throughout recovery.

The system is comprised of the VEST, Ehmer Sling, Skirt (for dogs with long torsos) and Additional Stabilization Strap. The VEST serves as a platform for attachment of the rest of the system components. The Skirt attaches to the VEST to add length, if necessary to accommodate animals with long torsos. The Ehmer Sling is a single piece construction that bifurcates. The hock is held securely at the apex of the sling while the two arm of the sling secure to the VEST and/or Skirt.  The Additional Stabilization Strap secures to the Ehmer Sling and can be attached anywhere on the VEST and/or Skirt. This construction allows for a range of positioning options. The limb can easily be maintained in a flexed position with abduction and internal rotation, as desired following reduction of craniodoral coxofemoral luxations.

NOTES:

We recommend that the veterinary professional apply the product initially.
