Once payment has been made, we'll ship you an impression kit. Following our impression instructions, make a model of the pet's injured limb. Once done, simply send the kit back to ul.
Once OrthoPets receives the fiberglass impression and required paperwork, the V-OP device is manufactured in our state of the art manufacturing center through a digitalizing process of the fiberglass impression.
The impression is turned into a 3D model that is digitally sculpted to create the final device shape. The carved model is vacuum formed with advanced plastics to create the custom made V-OP device. Once the foam liner, straps and pads are added, the device is ready for delivery.
The fabrication time for an orthosis is 9 business days, and 15 business days for a prosthesis.
It's time to try on your OrthoPets device! Your package will include the device, fitting documents, wearing schedules and information regarding the care of your device.
If you have concerns about the fit, our specialist will ask you to take pictures and videos of the pet standing and walking in the device. You can send them here. We offer one free adjustment in the first 60 days post delivery.
Adjustments are a normal part of the process and should be expected. Adjustments can take 4 business days to complete.
For best possible outcomes, we recommend that you see a vet or a rehab professional to ensure the function of the device and to get a comprehensive rehabilitation program to facilitate the best possible outcomes. At the moment, OrthoPets does not provide rehabilitation programs or services.
You can find a canine rehabilitation therapist for example at CRI's website.
