Extended Applications

One Material. Endless Possibilities.

Extended Applications · Beyond Companion Animals — exploring the potential of thermoplastic materials beyond companion animals.

Content is illustrative of material versatility. Not all species applications are established indications.

Introduction

Designed for dogs and cats — with room to explore

Designed first for dogs and cats. The same material properties open possibilities for further veterinary applications. Zhivon thermoplastic material is developed for canine and feline external fixation, and its cuttable, heat-formable, re-moldable and lightweight characteristics may extend to other species — in each case, subject to professional veterinary assessment.

Clinical Notice

Extended Applications content is intended to showcase the material properties and potential applications of Zhivon thermoplastic material, for professional veterinary reference only.

Beyond routine canine and feline use, specific indications, fixation methods and treatment protocols for other animal species should be independently assessed and determined by a qualified veterinarian based on each animal's anatomy, clinical condition and needs. Zhivon does not provide standardized clinical recommendations for the content shown on this page.
