Design and fabrication of a custom made canine prosthesis, orthosis or adaptive device“Most dog owners are not aware of prosthetic and orthotic options that are available today. We are able to provide really awesome technology and help improve the quality of lives to pets.” says Marty Mandelbaum, CPO.These devices are custom made and need to be intimately fitting or they could cause sores and or not support your pet properly. The procedure entails a trip to our facility for measurement and casting and one to two more visits for fitting and delivery. You can send us pictures of the residual limb and sound limbs so that we can give you a better idea on design and costs prior to your appointment. If you would like to arrange an appointment or discuss this further, please call 631 473-8668 or e-mail marty@mhmoandp.com Published Articles – VP Your World Newsletter Juno, a lab/pointer mixed breed received his cruciate knee orthosis and was then able to move about pain free.
