Racing camels are elite athletes. Tendon overload, fetlock instability and limb injuries can end a career that took years to build — yet the market offers almost nothing beyond generic wraps. Trittwerk closes that gap: we engineer fully custom orthopaedic devices for camels, built from a precise cast impression of the individual limb, handcrafted in our Hamburg workshop, and delivered to the Gulf via DHL Express. The animal never travels.

Devices we build for camels

Tendon Support Orthoses

For flexor tendon overload and strain injuries: custom supports that offload the tendon apparatus in a defined way during recovery and controlled return to training — engineered per limb, not per size chart.

Fetlock Braces

Stabilisation for fetlock hyperextension and instability. Custom-moulded shells with defined range of motion, ventilated for the Gulf climate, with replaceable padding.

Protective & Training Devices

Custom protective boots and supports for training and transport — precisely fitted, so they stay in place at speed and don't rub.

Corrective Devices for Calves

Growth-phase limb deformities in camel calves: corrective orthoses planned together with the attending veterinarian, adjusted as the animal grows.

Post-Surgical Support

After fracture repair or tendon surgery: custom devices that protect the surgical result during the critical rehabilitation window.

Individual Solutions

If your case doesn't fit a category: send us the diagnosis and imaging. Custom means custom — we assess honestly whether we can help.

Honest note: camel orthopaedics is a young field, and camel anatomy is not horse anatomy. We approach every new indication as a documented pilot project — in close coordination with the attending veterinarian, with defined check-ins and free adjustments. That is how we have built devices for zebras, llamas and other exotic species before: carefully, transparently, case by case.

How a camel case works

1 · Case review — You send us the diagnosis, imaging (X-ray/ultrasound) and photos or video of the gait via WhatsApp or email. We assess feasibility and propose a device concept — free of charge.
2 · Video consultation — We discuss the concept with your veterinarian: goals, materials, range of motion, training plan compatibility.
3 · Impression Kit — We ship the casting kit via DHL Express (3–5 days). Your vet team takes the cast on site — with our live video guidance. For a camel limb this typically takes 45–90 minutes with the animal sedated or well restrained, as your vet decides.
4 · Engineering & handcrafting — In Hamburg we build the device on the positive model: 1–2 weeks for most devices.
5 · Delivery & follow-up — DHL Express to your stable or clinic. Fitting via video call, defined check-ins, and all adjustments free of charge for the first 6 months — shipping included in pilot cases.

For clinics & stables: pilot partnership

We are actively looking for veterinary partners in the UAE, Qatar and Saudi Arabia for first documented camel cases. Pilot conditions: priority engineering, free adjustments including shipping, and full case documentation you can use in your own clinical work. In return we ask for imaging, follow-up data and — if the owner agrees — the right to document the case. Serious, transparent, vet-led.

Beyond camels — every species in the region

Camels are the headline, but the same engineering serves every animal the region cares about: horses (sport, endurance and leisure — tendon bandages and limb orthoses), donkeys and working equids (robust, repairable devices built for daily use), dogs and cats (CCL braces, wheelchairs, prostheses — including professional working dogs), and livestock and wildlife — goats, sheep, oryx and gazelles in farms, zoos and conservation centres. If it has limbs and a veterinarian, we can take an impression and build for it.
