Rathenower champions of animal orthodontics: wheelchair for Dachshund Jack!

in the Havelland, specifically in Rathenow, Olaf Piritz sets new standards in animal orthopedic technology. The trained orthopedic technician, who has been working in this field for over 20 years, specializes in the preparation of orthoses and prostheses for animals. His innovative strength is particularly evident in the development of a wheelchair for his own dachshund mixing, Capitain Jack, who came to Germany from Romania without front legs.

piritz 'challenge began when he let Jack in his life. In order to enable him to have a normal life, he already developed the tenth version of a tailor -made wheelchair. This individual production is a central aspect of his work: "I would like to encourage veterinarians to find alternative solutions instead of amputate or putting it as soon as possible," emphasizes Piritz. For optimal seat and functionality, it also uses high -quality materials such as carbon and stainless steel.

creativity and individual solutions

Tier orthopedic technology not only requires craftsmanship, but also a lot of creativity. Piritz works in his small workshop, which is located in his own garden. The production of wheelchairs, such as Jack, usually costs from 500 euros and is always individually tailored to the needs of the animals. Modern machines and techniques are also used, which ensures the precision of the aids.

His wide range of customers includes dogs, ponies, donkeys, cats, cats and even a rooster. This diversity shows how far -reaching the use of orthopedic technology in veterinary medicine is. In addition to Piritz, other specialist companies in the region also increase their expertise: Another manufacturer has specialized in animal orthopedic technology since 2008 and offers individual solutions that are made from scratch.

The influence on veterinary medicine

Orthopedic technology is increasingly developing into a standard in veterinary medicine. The aim is to prevent amputations and joint stiffening and minimize complications. The focus is on improving the quality of life of animals, which is also achieved by aids such as the PTO-Orthoboot® Pfot Orthesis or special therapy shoes. These developments are used by veterinarians and physiotherapists to help sick or older animals.

More and more veterinary clinics are focusing on the advantages of the tailor -made orthopedic aids - a development that is becoming increasingly important not only in Rathenow, but throughout Germany. The possibilities of animal orthopedic technology not only offer support in acute injuries, but also therapeutic applications in chronic complaints, which significantly increases the zest for life of the animals.

Olaf Piritz remains interested in developments: he is always asked about a lecture offer at universities to show students new perspectives. The interesting contradiction between innovative solutions and the sometimes existing bureaucratic hurdles in human medicine could be the key to make veterinary medicine future -proof.
