- A comprehensive, clinically curated assembly of surgical instruments engineered for feline ovariohysterectomy (spay) and neuter procedures
Uses
- Ovariohysterectomy (Spaying):
- Provides all specialized implements required to open the abdominal wall, isolate the uterine horns, clamp and ligate ovarian pedicles, and close tissue planes
- Feline Orchiectomy (Neutering):
- Utilizes smaller tissue forceps and fine hemostats to isolate and ligate the spermatic cord structure
- General Feline Soft-Tissue Procedures:
- Serves as an excellent standalone micro-laparotomy tray for small exotic pets, puppies, or rabbits requiring abdominal exploration
Contents
- (1) Snook Ovariectomy Hook (20.3 cm / 8"):
- Used for blind, safe hook-retrieval of the uterine horn from the abdominal cavity
- (1) Olsen-Hegar Needle Holder (14 cm / 5-1/2"):
- Combined needle driver and built-in suture cutting scissors featuring Tungsten Carbide (TC) inserts for long-lasting suture grip
- (1) Metzenbaum Scissors (17.8 cm / 7", Curved):
- Features thin, micro-blunt blades for fine, deep sub-surface tissue dissection
- (1) Mayo Dissecting Scissors (17.1 cm / 6-3/4", Straight):
- Built heavy-duty to cleanly slice through tough muscle fascial lines and dense connective tissues
- (2) Halsted Mosquito Forceps (12.7 cm / 5", Curved):
- Micro-fine jaws specifically scaled to safely secure tiny, fragile feline blood vessels
- (2) Kelly Forceps (14 cm / 5-1/2", Curved):
- Standard-sized hemostats for handling larger soft-tissue flaps or vascular bundles
- (2) Rochester-Carmalt Forceps (15.9 cm / 6-1/4", Curved):
- Heavy longitudinal serrations cross-hatched at the tip to clamp ovarian pedicles securely without slippage
- (1) Brown-Adson Tissue Forceps (12.1 cm / 4-3/4", 7x7 Teeth):
- Interlocking fine teeth maximize multi-point grip on delicate skin and facial planes
- (1) Tissue Forceps (14 cm / 5-1/2", 1x2 Teeth):
- Traditional rat-tooth architecture providing heavy tensile grip on the tough linear alba
- (1) Allis Tissue Forceps (15.2 cm / 6", 4x5 Teeth):
- Interlocking teeth safely retract dense, slippery tissue masses
- (4) Backhaus Towel Clamps (8.9 cm / 3-1/2"):
- Secures paper or cloth drapes to the patient’s skin boundary
- (1) #3 Scalpel Knife Handle:
- Industry-standard flat handle compatible with standard #10, #11, or #15 surgical blades
- (1) Stainless Steel Storage/Sterilization Cassette:
- Heavy-duty slotted container designed to keep the set securely organized through ultrasonic cleaning and autoclave sterilization
Benefits
- Turnkey Clinic Standardization:
- Pulling a pre-configured kit eliminates the time-consuming process of gathering single instruments, expediting surgery preparation and turnaround times
- Enhanced Feline Safety:
- Implements micro-pattern tools (such as Halsted Mosquitoes and a slender Snook Hook) that match small anatomical fields, drastically minimizing tissue stretch trauma or unintended organ injury
- Unmatched Efficiency:
- The inclusion of an Olsen-Hegar TC needle holder allows a solo veterinary surgeon to smoothly drive a needle and immediately snip the suture using one hand without toggling tools
- High Economic Lifespan:
- Forged from Japanese stainless steel rather than standard floor-grade alloys, these mid-grade instruments resist pitting, jaw misalignment, or rust over hundreds of autoclave reprocessing cycles
