Learn how to take accurate measurements for selecting the appropriate orthosis size, ensuring optimal fit and comfort for your patients.
At WIMBA Go, we’re growing to meet your needs. By collaborating with exceptional specialists who trust our orthoses as part of their treatment and rehabilitation plans, we’ve optimized our processes to develop products faster and with significantly less data.
Thanks to these advancements, we can now create a personalized orthosis using just a few measurements and two photos of your patient's limb.

Standard Orthosis:
Designed for dogs with a measurement of 4.75 cm or more from the center of the joint to the distal end of the fifth metatarsal or metacarpal bone. Additionally, the circumferences (C, D, F) should be greater than or equal to 10 cm.

Mini Orthosis

NOTE: The final decision on the accuracy of the dimensions and the feasibility of producing the orthosis is made by the WIMBA team after submitting the dimensions via WimbaAPP.
