The Central Veterinary Hospital is the first in the country to establish a dedicated Orthotics and Prosthetics Department, staffed by a veterinarian with specialized education in rehabilitation. This department designs and provides a variety of prosthetics, orthotics, wheelchairs, and artificial limbs for disabled animal patients.
These devices are often used either before or after surgery, and include items such as medical knee and wrist braces, supportive braces for correcting congenital deformities, and specialized braces for the patella and cruciate ligaments, among others.
Patients in need of these services can either visit the department directly or be referred by their attending veterinarian.
