- Suitable for
- Cattle, Sheep
The Sand Single Crush Emasculator is a veterinary surgical instrument designed for bloodless castration of livestock such as cattle, sheep, goats, and horses. It employs a single crush mechanism to crush the spermatic cord and associated blood vessels without cutting, significantly reducing haemorrhage and trauma compared to instruments that cut first. The Aesculap version is a high quality German manufactured emasculator intended for professional use by veterinarians or experienced stock handlers.
Features & Benefits
• Single crush mechanism: A central movable blade crushes between two fixed jaws to occlude blood supply without cutting.
• Reduced trauma: Crushing the arteries cleanly reduces injury and postoperative blood loss.
• Locking ratchet mechanism: Handles lock in place to maintain crushing pressure for the required duration without continuous manual force.
• High quality stainless steel: Durable, corrosion resistant material that is autoclavable for sterilization.
• Concentric cord drawing: Designed to draw the spermatic cord into the jaws to prevent slippage and improve crushing efficiency.
• Minimal blood loss: Blood vessels are compressed immediately as they are crushed, minimising bleeding.
