Verboczy Emasculator Triple Crush & cut 27 cm
Verboczy
emasculator is a tool used in the castration of livestock. Its function
is to simultaneously crush and cut the spermatic cord, preventing
hemorrhaging while still detaching the testis from the animal.
Recumbent castration, including use of emasculators
The
blade is always on the side of the emasculator with the nut that holds
the blades in place, and should always be placed adjacent to the testis
(nut against nut), so that the crushing clamp excludes the spermatic
artery, preventing life-threatening blood loss.
The ratchet
(visible on the handle) allows the emasculator to be locked in the
closed position for the 2 to 3 minutes required for primary haemostasis
to occur.
The ends of the clamp are rounded and guarded to allow
the emasculator to be placed over the testis and spermatic cord without
cutting, until pressure is applied.
