Full leg and foot splint combo. The foot splint fits into the grooves on the back of the leg splint and is further secured with zip-ties. This gives full leg coverage from just below the knee, all the way to the end of the foot. There is also a groove on one side of the splint to make it easier to remove the zip ties when changing dressings. 3D printed, easy to use, durable. Made with high quality PLA. *If you are buying a full set, the set is priced as buy one, get one 50% off. Choose “single” or “pair” as the set option, and the pricing is automatically applied to a pair. We also offer a mixed-pack (with similar discounting) if you are not sure on the sizing and want to buy both - only available if you select "pair".

Keep padding dry. For fractures, it is recommended to leave the splint on for 6 weeks. Remove the splint, clean, and assess the area at least once a week. For younger birds who are still growing, remove and check sizing every 3 days. Intended for use with standard zip ties. Use small wire cutters for zip tie removal along grooved side. PLEASE NOTE - while wearing this splint, please restrict your bird’s movement by keeping them in a confined area, or ideally, a suspended sling. Just like with humans, the goal is to keep the fractured bones stable as they heal. This splint does not allow for natural movement of the ankle, so they will not be able to perch or lay down in their usual position. This is why keeping them in a suspended sling is ideal.
