Correct contracted flexor tendon (knuckle under) in calves with BOS splint. Apply to back of the leg for normal mobility. Splint length 41cm o.a. Can be modified, remove after 4-5 days.
When a calf is born with a contracted flexor tendon, the fetlock joint is caused to knuckle under, causing serious limitation to the mobility of the calf. The BOSsplint is applied to the back of the leg, with the splint bottom edge at ground level. With application of the splint the calf should have normal mobility immediately. Remove the splint after 4-5 days. Splint length 40cm o.a. Note: The BOSsplint can be slightly modified to suit the leg by use of a hot air gun or hair dryer. Be sure to note ‘TOP’ marking on splint.
