Animal Tech: Animal Orthotics (bracing) & Animal Prosthetics

Animal Tech is the first Australian based Prosthetic and Orthotic clinic that aims in providing efficient and cost effective solutions for your pet to restore their mobility and function. At Animal Tech we pride ourselves in providing high quality, Australian made custom orthotic and prosthetic devices by qualified professionals. We offer a streamline stress free service by providing a complete clinical service. We will take the cast (limb impression), measurements, manufacture and fit the device to ensure a well fitting and functioning device. Our complete services guarantees a well fitting device that is adjusted and improved at the time of fitting to ensure your pet has the best outcome. Our focus is also on providing ongoing service to these Animals and their custom devices by providing review appointments, adjustments and repairs. We use the most clinically appropriate technology for each client and quality is ensured by manufacturing all devices on site at our base in Shepparton.  The clinical role at Animal Tech is undertaken by an Orthotist/Prosthetist who hold a Bachelor of Health Science and a Master in Prosthetics and Orthotics from Latrobe University. The Orthotist/Prosthetist at Animal Tech are specialists in custom made Orthoses (braces) and Prostheses (artificial limb). 

 

We work closely with Veterinary Clinics, Physiotherapist and rehabilitation technicians to provide a multidisciplinary approach to your pets care. We require a referral from a Veterinarian to ensure we are able to provide the correct care for your animal. We offer clinical services (assessments, consultations) and manufacturing/fabrication of these custom Prostheses and Orthoses.

 

Animal Tech is based in Shepparton Victoria and is providing service out of Northern Victoria Orthotic and Prosthetic Service (NVOPS). Animal Tech provides mobile appointment options across Victoria and interstate.

 

We work with you and your vet to keep your pet mobile!
