Yes, they are designed to be worn all the time during the day and taken off at night only. I have a GSD with devices on both his front legs, and it has helped in enormously.

These are brilliant, though not cheap. You have to take a fibreglass impression of the limb, and the orthotic device is custom-made. They are fabricated in the USA, but the UK supplier, Rod Hunt, is very knowledgable and extremely helpful.

these were the ones I was looking for actually I thought VI were a stockist but couldn't remember the name, they are fantastic but not cheap and really in my opinion for the cases that need constant support or otherwise need arthrodesis.

Didn't even think to look in the VI catalogue - thanks!

Sadly I find the best choice on Amazon for this sort of thing! Possibly amazon.com if no luck with amazon UK - most things can be sent from the US.
