AniCura study: UPETS® Splinting System shows promise as the safer way to cast  

 

In veterinary medicine, casts are notorious for causing complications. The well-known Meeson et al. (2011) research saw 55% of animals face complications that required treatment. Now, the UPETS splint shows promise as a low-risk alternative to traditional treatment methods.

The study in brief
  • Only 13% of (UPETS) treated dogs developed a complication that required treatment
  • There were no severe complications
  • The pilot study was conducted by AniCura, a European veterinary clinic chain
  • Products provided by Dassiet
  • A small group of dogs were treated with the UPETS Splinting System
  • The study followed the dogs for an average of 2.5 weeks
  • All dogs had surgery before splint application
