Ear Punches and Tags
Ear punches are available in 2 diameters - 1mm and 2 mm. Pre-numbered,
sequential ear tags for small animal tracking. Stainless steel
applicator available.
|
Electrosurgery
Electrosurgery uses alternating current to achieve cutting and
coagulation. The patient becomes part of the electrical circuit and
current enters their body. Cautery uses direct current to coagulate. A
heated wire or electrode comes in contact with tissue.
Vary the voltage of the current and the pattern of electric pulses to achieve your desired cauterizing effect.
-Cutting - Use lower voltage with a continuous AC current to produce heat rapidly and completely vaporize the tissue at the tip of the probe.
-Coagulation - Use higher voltage in a pulsed manner to produce heat more slowly. With this method, tissue damage is more widspread (a few mm from the probe) and blood coagulates.

Forceps
Forceps are used to grasp, move, or extract tissue and other objects.
They are shaped like tweezers and their tips can have a variety of
teeth or serrations. Tissue forceps contain teeth in patterns such as 1
x 2 (also known at rat tooth) to longitudinal 9 x 9 teeth (as in the
Adson-Brown). Dressing forceps have either smooth or serrated jaws.

German-made
Not sure whether to choose Standard Quality or German Quality? German
instruments are produced in Tuttlingen, Germany, and considered to be
the finest instruments in the world. This famous town is home to over
200 surgical equipment companies. The instruments are produced using
high quality surgical stainless steel and are hand assembled by highly
skilled master craftsmen. Over the years, Pakistan has perfected the
manufacturing of instruments and their quality now rivals German-made
instruments. Produced with German stainless steel forgings and
assembled and finished in Pakistan, these high-quality,
corrosion-resistant instruments are available at a fraction of the
price of German-made instruments.
