Welcome 

..to the 2007 edition of the Veterinary Instrumentation 

catalogue. 

The cover illustrates the use of a Veterinary Instrumentation custom made hybrid plate in the 

management of osteosarcoma in the radius of an Irish Wolfhound. I am grateful to Martin Owen 

and Andy Moores, who carried out the procedure, for the use of the photograph. Hybrid in this 

context means smaller screw holes distally than proximally. We now carry a large range of ‘off the 

shelf’ hybrid plates for both pancarpal and pantarsal arthrodesis. Please see inside the back cover 

for profiles of the available plates. 

Management of canine cruciate deficient stifle remains the most common orthopaedic procedure 

in veterinary surgery. We are still no closer to the ‘answer’. Clearly genetics has a major role. In 

cases of degenerative cruciate disease, most specialists are performing a tibial plateau geometry 

altering technique. TPLO is still the most common technique but TTA and TTO are becoming more 

widespread. The requirement to bring the tibial plateau to sit at right angles to the straight patella 

ligament to reduce the shear forces within the stifle seems to be gaining acceptance. 

Veterinary Instrumentation remains happy to support whichever procedure you favour with both 

instruments and implants. There are a number of new additions to our cruciate repair range. 

We have added several more options to the external fixation range which are interesting, 

particularly for very small and and very large patients.

The Company 

Veterinary Instrumentation was founded by John Lapish BSc., BVetMed., 

MRCVS. in 1986. Working in Sheffield as a small animal orthopaedic 

surgeon John was frustrated by the lack of appropriate instrumentation for 

veterinary surgical procedures. Most of the available instruments at that 

time were simply the smaller variants of products designed for use in 

human surgery. Living in Sheffield, centre of the UK Surgical Trades, John 

was ideally placed to try and develop one or two ideas of his own. So, 

working with skilled local instrument makers, John began to develop a 

range of instruments (initially for his own use) designed specifically for 

veterinary surgery. Requests for these products and suggestions for new 

items began to trickle in from colleagues and this reinforced the conclusion 

that a need existed for a specialist instrumentation service to meet the 

needs of the profession, and small animal orthopaedics in particular. 

Today the Veterinary Instrumentation range of implants and instruments 

includes over 3,000 items which are stocked for immediate despatch. 

Innovation remains a key part of our activity and John works with leading 

veterinary specialists from all over the world to turn new ideas into practical 

working instruments. 

Our products have the professional backup of veterinary and nursing 

personnel to advise on the selection and use of both instruments and 

implants. We are always happy to discuss any aspect of instrumentation 

and can help locate almost any item. 

Today the technology involved in producing our products ranges from the 

traditional skills of Sheffield craftsman Len Richardson, (an instrument 

maker with over 55 years experience who helped develop the first items in 

the range including the excision arthroplasty rasp and the trochlea rasp) to 

the ultra-modern. Len uses his extensive experience and hand-eye 

co-ordination to create runs of 100 identical instruments. He continues to 

help develop new items and oversees our instrument repair service. By 

contrast at the other end of the spectrum, all our implants are made by 

state of the art computer controlled machinery designed to meet the same 

exacting specifications as their human equivalents. We think we benefit 

from the best of both worlds, old and new.

1 JOINT SURGERY 

Adjustable Bone Saw 

Useful for many bone procedures, this saw comes complete with five, fine 

chrome plated blades. Blade length is adjustable from 40 mm to 100 mm. 

Procedures include trochleaplasty, tibial crest transplants, amputations, 

trochanteric osteotomy and excision arthroplasty. Also useful for splitting 

multi-rooted teeth prior to extraction. 

ADJUSTABLE BONE SAW 

001000 Adjustable Bone Saw c/w 5 fine blades £43.56 

001001 Spare Fine Blades. Pack of 5 chrome plated £8.87 

Rhinotomy / Plaster Saw Blade 

Joint Surgery 

Hard Backed Orthopaedic Saw 

Gigli Saw 

140mm long 23mm deep 

0.4mm cut. 

In the style of the XACTO saw blade but is stiffer 

and has slightly bigger teeth, more suitable for 

bone. It is made from stainless steel and can be 

autoclaved. The stiff back helps to guide the saw 

compared with hack saw type blades which 

often deviate. 

Use for wedge sulcoplasty and osteotomies up 

to 23mm deep. 

HARD BACKED ORTHOPAEDIC SAW (stainless) 

001004 Orthopaedic Hard Back Saw 

0.4mm cut. Stainless steel £23.60 

This is a curved stainless blade with a radius of 15mm. Useful for rhinotomy, 

plaster cutting and osteotomies where access is limited, eg. radius, ulna and 

ilium during a TPO. 

RHINOTOMY/PLASTER SAW BLADE 

001003 Rhinotomy/Plaster Saw Blade (single) £8.87 

Coarse Stainless Blade 

Very useful for larger patients. The tooth pitch is 15 teeth per inch. This 

blade does not clog easily. Also useful for trochleaplasty. 

COARSE STAINLESS BLADE 

001002 Coarse Stainless Blades (single) £8.87 

Essentially a bone cutting wire. More useful in large dogs. Hard to persuade 

the saw to cut where you want it to. Can be threaded through holes to make 

inaccessible cuts. E.g. ulna osteotomies. 

GIGLI SAW 

001515 Gigli Saw Handles (pair) £25.60 

001516 Gigli Saw 30cm £4.83 

001517 Gigli Saw 50cm £5.50 

Excision Arthroplasty Rasp 

X-Acto Saw 

Although not stainless, this hard backed fine saw is ideal for wedge 

trochleaplasty. Provided the blade is kept absolutely dry, apart from the 

actual procedure, you will get several procedures from it before it needs 

replacing. Handle is aluminium. Consider also the Hard Backed 

Orthopaedic Saw (001004). 

X-ACTO SAW 

XACTOB/H Xacto Saw Complete £15.02 

XACTOHANDLE Xacto Saw Handle only £9.50 

XACTOBLADE Xacto Saw Blade 0.3mm cut £6.52 

XACTOSTERILE Xacto Saw Blade Sterile 0.3mm cut £10.59 

Designed specifically to remove any bone spurs following excision 

arthroplasty. Failure to remove bone spurs is the most common cause of 

problems with this procedure. Teeth cut on the back stroke. 

EXCISION ARTHROPLASTY RASP 

001010 Excision Arthroplasty Rasp £36.21 

Rectangular Sulcoplasty Instruments 

NEW 

A rectangular sulcoplasty retains the maximum articular cartilage. 

Creation of the sulcoplasty can be a challenge in that most osteotomes 

are too thick and the block tends to break up. Our super slim 8mm 

osteotome minimises breakup. The rectangular rasp is designed to tidy 

up the corners of the sulcoplasty to maximise ‘fit’. 

RECTANGULAR SULCOPLASTY INSTRUMENTS 

001017 Super Slim Osteotome 8mm £30.55

The three interchangeable rasp blades offer a range of cutting surfaces, flat, 

round and ‘putti’ style. The handle has an ergonomic design which is easy to 

grip even when wet. 

COMBINATION BONE RASP SET 

001015 Combination bone rasp with 3 interchangeable heads £120.00 

Trochlea Rasp 

A deceptively useful instrument, this style of Hohman is useful in: 

1. retraction of facia lata during CCL repair 

2. elevation of femoral head and neck 

3. muscle retraction during many joint and fracture procedures. 

If you intend to buy just one Hohman, the one you need is 001041, 18 mm 

with a short tip. This is usually the one described in texts as ‘Hohman’. 

HOHMAN RETRACTORS with short tip 

001041 Hohman Retractor 18mm Short Narrow Tip £33.99 


Designed for deepening the trochlea 

groove, the trochlea rasp has a range of 

diameters to suit breeds from 

chihuahuas to bull terriers. For larger 

breeds perform a wedge trochleaplasty 

using a hard backed saw. An accurately 

contoured trochlea is essential for a 

successful trochleaplasty. Articular 

cartilage is removed to be replaced by fibrocartilage. 

TROCHLEA RASP 

001020 Trochlea Rasp £36.21 

OCD Curette 

Hohman Retractor with long broad tip 

001043 

001044 

Useful in and around the shoulder joint and other retraction situations when 

a blunt tip is desirable. 

HOHMAN RETRACTOR with long broad tip 

001043 Hohman Retractor 24mm Long Broad Tip £33.99 

001044 Hohman Retractor 18mm Long Broad Tip £33.99 

Hohman Retractor broad with short narrow tip 

001045 

Actual size 

001046 

Loose flaps of cartilage at the OCD lesion must be removed. The double 

ended OCD curette is designed to perform this task within the limited space 

available. Healthy fibrocartilage within the lesion should not be disturbed. 

OCD CURETTE 

001030 O.C.D. Curette £29.92 

001032 O.C.D. Curette Small £29.92 

The 48 mm Hohman is very useful in the large dog for elevation of the 

femoral head and neck for excision or toggle. The 24 mm is designed to 

retract muscles during plating and cerclage procedures. 

HOHMAN RETRACTOR BROAD with short narrow tip

Mini Hohman 6mm & 8mm short tip 

Joint Surgery 

Curved Graft Passer 

Manipulation of small bone fragments during repair requires careful 

retraction of soft tissues to minimise devascularisation. The blade of the 

Hohman retracts the soft tissue as the tip effectively elevates and exposes 

the bone fragment. 

Exact anatomical repair of the bones will not result in satisfactory healing 

without adequate blood supply. 

Mini Hohmans allow delicate, precise retraction of the vital soft tissues, 

allowing placement of screws or wires. 

An assistant to hold these instruments is a distinct advantage. 

MINI HOHMAN 6mm and 8mm short tip 

001047 Mini Hohman Retractor 6mm Short Tip £33.99 

001048 Mini Hohman Retractor 8mm Short Tip £33.99 

Straight Graft Passer 

Designed to pass through a 2.7 mm hole, the straight graft passer is useful 

for pulling graft and nylon through bone tunnels.

The repair of the cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) by the 'Over the Top' 

technique requires a curved graft passer to pull the graft through the stifle 

joint. This design of graft passer has been developed over many years to: 

1. minimise damage to intra - articular structures 

2. feel right in use. The handle is comfortable 

3. for graft insertion anterior to posterior or vice versa. 

This design is used by most recognised orthopaedic surgeons. Please see 

our free CD rom ‘Surgical Management of Canine Cranial Cruciate Disease’ 

for details and video of the technique. 

The small eyed graft passers are appropriate for placement of lateral suture 

wire or monofilament nylon as described by M. L. Olmstead.

The use of monofilament nylon as a lateral suture is accepted as a method of 

repair of the cranial cruciate ligament (CCL). Heavy gauge monofilament 

nylon (100lb, 80lb and 50lb breaking strain) is difficult to tie without making 

a large knot, which tends to stretch and irritate the soft tissues causing pain 

and seromas. In addition it is difficult to sterilise. Autoclaving reduces the 

strength and increases the elasticity of nylon. Veterinary Instrumentation's 

Lateral Suture System uses nylon sterilized by Ethylene Oxide together with 

a crimp tube, a method of joining the nylon already well established in other 

industries. For procedure details see www.k9ccl.com or request our free 

CD rom ‘Surgical Management of Canine Cranial Cruciate Disease’. 

Some CCL deficient patients benefit from the use of double sutures. This is 

particularly true of very large dogs and 100lb line. Passing a second needle 

behind the fabella risks damaging both the first line and the peri-fabellar 

structures which ultimately will hold the nylon sutures. Double line, swaged 

on sutures allows the placement of two lines with one pass of the needle. 

Available as single sterile pack. The double line is available swaged on as a 

loop without crimps and will, therefore, be of interest to those surgeons 

using the self-locking McKee/Miller knot (VCOT 1999;12:78-80).

Veterinary Instrumentation is very pleased to have been appointed UK 

distributor for Arthrex joint surgery products. Arthrex are leaders in the 

field of Human joint surgery and arthroscopy and have some very 

innovative products such as FiberWire offering significant benefits to the 

veterinary surgeon. 

FiberWire 

NEW 

FiberWire is a new composite material consisting of a multi-stranded 

long chain ultra high molecular weight polyethylene core with a polyester 

braided jacket. Compared to monofilament nylon, FiberWire is stronger, 

and does not stretch. In addition and very importantly FiberWire has 

much better wear characteristics. Most lateral suture loops fail by abrasion, 

usually at the fabella. Use of FibreWire extends the working life of the 

lateral suture. FiberWire is five times more rsistant to abrasion than 

standard polyester suture. FiberWire ties very well with a creep free soft 

knot which again compares very well with nylon.

Cruciate Lateral Suture 

NEW 

Loop Tension Devices 

Prior to crimping it is suggested that the loop be tensioned sufficiently to 

eliminate the anterior draw, but not enough to create an outward rotation. 

This may be achieved by a number of methods: 

a) Partial crimp - see video, does not require additional instrumentation. 

b) Simple tension device requiring a pair of gelpis 091132 

c) A dedicated loop tensioner 091132A 

CCL Tensioning Device 

091132 - Tensioning Device 

(gelpis not included) 

A special FiberWire lateral suture has been developed by Arthrex in 

conjunction with James L. Cook, DVM, PhD, at the Comparative 

Orthopaedic Laboratory, University of Missouri, consisting of a swaged on 

curved needle for fabella placement and a straight needle at the other end 

for easy passage through the proximal tibia. The #5 FiberWire (7 metric) 

is for use in dogs 15kg to 50kg. A #2 FiberWire will be available shortly.

Crimping Forceps 

Joint Surgery 

Bone Tunnel Borer 

Bone tunnels are required in many procedures, e.g. tension wire banding, 

hip toggling and embrocation techniques. The bone tunnel borer is a simple 

hand instrument which causes minimal soft tissue damage and minimal fuss 

in setting up compared with orthopaedic drills. Can be used to pre-drill for 

screws and suture screws. 

Dedicated crimping forceps are required to avoid over-crimping or 

under-crimping, both of which will lead to early implant failure.

The tibial plateau levelling operation (TPLO) alters the anatomy of the stifle 

to moderate the effect of the loss of the cranial cruciate ligament (CCL). 

The stifle remains unstable to manipulation but is stable as the dog bears 

weight. It is claimed that following TPLO, degenerative joint disease 

changes are minimal compared with other CCL procedures. These plates 

are widely used to repair the tibia following removal of the bone wedge. The 

shaft holes are compression. The holes in the head are round but large to 

give a good range of screw angle. Particularly useful in large dogs and dogs 

with tibial plateau deformation. See page 231 for TPLO plate profiles. Our 

free CD rom illustrates and describes the technique. 

WEDGE ANGLE FINDER OVERLAY - FREE 

A simple acetate overlay to help you calculate the tibial plateau angle, from 

which you can easily calculate the size of the wedge to remove. Includes 

lines to indicate the normal tibial plateau angle and a 5º line which is 

regarded as the most appropriate post-op angle. Also included on the 

acetate are actual size outlines of our range of TPLO plates to help you 

select the most appropriate plate. See page 231 for actual size profiles.

Triple Tibial Osteotomy 

A new cruciate management 

technique combining tibial 

plateau levelling and tibial 

tubercle advancement. 

Joint Surgery 


Some instrumentation is required to make the procedure easier and to 

minimise errors. The set comprises a saw guide, measuring/marking gauge 

(osteometer) and a bone manipulation device (wedgie). The saw guide 

works with flat oscillating blades with a maximum cut thickness of 1mm 

(thickness at the teeth). See Chapter 5. 

FREE INSTRUCTIONAL DVD 

Phone 0845 130 9596 or email info@vetinst.com 

Based on the work of Slocum, Tepic and Montavon, the Triple Tibial 

Osteotomy has been developed by Dr Warrick Bruce to overcome some of 

the problems encountered in the Slocum TPLO technique, the Montavon 

TTA (Tibial Tubercle Advancement) and the closing wedge TPLO 

technique. 

The technique uses the well established range of closing wedge 

osteotomy plates. 


90º 

Some of the problems include:- 

Work by Tepic suggests that the tibial plateau should be perpendicular to 

the patella ligament to minimise shear strain at the CrCL. The Slocum 

technique does not always address this issue. 

The bi-radial Slocum blade is inefficient and difficult to resharpen resulting 

in the generation of significant amounts of heat which leads to delayed 

healing and other complications. 

The Montavon TTA technique creates a large defect in the cranial tibia 

which requires an expensive titanium cage and plate to prevent collapse 

during the healing phase. 

The closing wedge TPLO shortens the tibia and creates a defect in the tibia 

which has to be protected from the pull of the straight patella ligament by a 

figure of eight wire. 

Osteometer and Saw guide 

The TTO technique deals with all of these problems:- 

A long osteotomy is made in the tibial crest to allow the tibial tubercle to 

move forward. The angle correction is made by making a small wedge 

osteotomy in the caudal tibia which when closed creates a small tibial 

tubercle advancement. A free instructional DVD is available which fully 

describes and explains the procedure through video, stills and text files. 

The DVD also includes an instrument check list.

The cast Slocum plate meets neither the current metallurgical specification 

nor the manufacturing process requirements for stainless steel implants. 

While we are allowed to use our judgement regarding implants it would be 

relatively hard to defend the use of a non–standard implant should 

anything go wrong. 

In view of the above we have produced a Slocum style plate, machined 

from 316LVM. The only clear advantage of the cast Slocum plate was its 

malleability. Our plate has been modified in the head region to make 

contouring easier, while retaining the stiffness of 316LVM elsewhere for 

stability and rapid healing. The lower profile makes closure easier.

Slocum Rotation Gauges 

Once the radial cut is made in the proximal tibia the two parts are 

essentially unstable. The proximal segment has to be rotated while 

maintaining alignment. The jig is placed prior to the cut and keeps the two 

segments under control until the rotation is complete and the two parts 

fixed internally.

TPLO Plates with 

Locking Screw Holes 

Joint Surgery 

Cadmus Plates and Templates 

NEW 

Use of locking screws offers an internal/external fixation construct across 

the osteotomy site. The plate is attached to the screw and the screw is 

attached to the bone. Rigidity does not depend on the plate being trapped 

between screw head and bone as in non-locking plates. 

Our new plate is osteotomy centered and maximises the interface around 

the osteotomy circumference. A novel angled DCP hole distally allows for 

additional compression of the cranial osteotomy if necessary 

Plates are supplied pre-contoured to minimise the risk of screw hole 

distortion and stress riser marks. A dedicated drill guide is, however, 

necessary to place the pilot hole exactly at the correct angle to the plate. 

Holes accept both standard cortical screws and locking screws.

Calvin Cadmus from Oakland California, as an early Slocum user, 

recognised that when the TPLO osteotomy was centred along the long axis 

of the tibia several advantages were seen over non-centred osteotomies. 

1) Increased accuracy in achieving the desired 

post-op tibial plateau angle. 

2) Significantly fewer tibial tubercle fractures. 

3) Elimination of undesirable angular deformities (genu valgum). 

4) Decrease in proximal screw pull out. 

5) Lower long term DJD. 

Calvin has designed a template to ensure that your osteotomy is centred on 

the long axis, and a range of plates which stabilise the osteotomy along the 

long axis of the tibia.

Accurate placement of the screws in the head is facilitated by use of a 

dedicated load and neutral guide which places the pilot hole away from the 

osteotomy. As the screw is tightened into the hole there is a compressing 

movement of the screw and bone. The spherical head of the screw then 

locks into the round hole giving secure full circumferential contact unlike a 

standard DCP hole. It is easy to create a single compressing movement 

around the arc of the osteotomy using round holes with the added bonus of 

extra screw security.

Tibial Tuberosity 

Advancement (TTA) 

NEW 

The TTA procedure developed by Tepic and Montavon is designed to bring 

the tibial plateau to sit at 90 degrees with the straight patella ligament. This 

effectively neutralises the shear forces within the stifle, under loading, 

making the stifle stable. 

This is acheived by advancing the tibial tubercle and stabilising the created 

defect using a titanium cage and plate. The cage is selected for both 

thickness and width. The implants are secured using titanium screws. 

Titantium is very osteoconductive resulting in rapid healing. The use of 

stainless steel implants is not recommended.

Examination and management of meniscal injuries is made extremely 

difficult by the limited access to the medial meniscus during routine 

approaches. Exposure of the medial meniscus is typically achieved by either 

use of a stifle distractor or by a Hohman retractor. Hohman retractors are 

not designed for levering against articular cartilage in that the blade does 

not ‘fit’ the trochlea. The stifle lever is designed to substitute the Hohman. 

The caudal surface of the stifle lever is contoured to fit the trochlea of large 

dogs. The load is dissipated over a large area minimising trauma. The ring 

style handle is convenient for retraction by the surgeon using the thumb. 

The tip atraumatically hooks behind the caudal aspect of the tibial plateau.

Visualisation of the caudal horns of the meniscus can be a challenge. Often 

the process of exposing the caudal horn can result in distortions. A normal 

meniscus can look damaged and occasionally a bucket handle tear can sit 

back and look normal. It is helpful to gently probe the meniscus to establish 

its true condition. Dimensions refer to length of tip. Use 1mm in dogs 

< 30k and for dogs >30kg use 2mm.

NEW 

The stifle distractor is designed to separate the femoral component of the 

stifle from the tibia. Ideally the two joint surfaces should move away from 

each other in a parallel fashion so that the meniscus is exposed in its 

natural state and minimally distorted by the examination. One tip is placed 

in the intercondylar notch and the other on the cranial intercondylar area. 

Neither tip should involve articular cartilage. Test distractions (by squeezing 

the handles) will allow the surgeon to find the exact point at which a full 

distraction will expose the medial (usually) meniscus. The spin lock is then 

engaged to powerfully open up the stifle joint. The distractor is 

self-retaining leaving the surgeon with two free hands to examine the 

meniscus and deal with any pathology. 

When closed the tips overlap making the points atraumatic as they enter 

the joint. Additionally the overlapping feature reduces the profile of the tips 

as they enter the joint. 

Money-back guarantee! If this instrument is not an improvement on 

whatever you are currently using, we will give you a full refund. 

The working tips of our spinlock stifle distractors are just the same as the 

ratchet version. The spin lock offers a more secure distraction as it is 

impossible for the distractor to slip. In addition the spin lock variant allows 

the surgeon to ‘crank’ open the joint is the manner of the larger versions of 

this instrument. Many of our Gelpi self retaining retractors are also available 

with a spinlock. See page 44.

The small joint set is designed as a sterile single use set which facilitates 

the identification, recipient socket preparation, and donor harvesting of a 

cylindrical osteochondral graft. The recipient socket is prepared with a 

guide pin and cannulated drill bit (matched to the donor harvester for an 

anatomic press fit). 

The set includes a ruler, cannulated drill bit, dual-sided alignment rod, 

donor harvester, clear graft delivery tube, oversized tamp, core extruder for 

controlled push in insertion , and an optional graft driver for tap-in 

insertion. Also included is a core extractor for removal and revision or 

replacement of the graft. 

Available in 6, 8 & 10mm diameters. 

Other applications: 

Work by Noel Fitzpatrick suggests that placing a bone core(harvested by 

the OATS system) across IOHC lesion together with implant support can 

lead to resolution. 

These pliers will contour 2.7mm and 3.5mm narrow plates. 3.5 DCPs are at 

the absolute limit and will require multiple small bends. Also useful for 

bending guide pins in the Slocum TPLO technique. Available elsewhere for 

£1000 or more.

2 ARTHROSCOPY 

Introduction 

Using fibre optics the arthroscope is able to deliver light and obtain an 

image from within the joint thus obviating the need for an extensive surgical 

approach and keeping surgical trauma to soft tissues at a minimum. 

However, arthroscopy is not a risk free procedure as it involves placing 

sharp metal objects into the joint space. 

Arthroscopy 

Although arthroscopy may be considered expensive in terms of both the 

dedicated instrumentation required and the time and money involved in 

training, it is recommended that sufficient resources are allocated to 

purchase good quality equipment at the outset. (Equipment failures being 

very frustrating and ultimately very expensive.) 

Dr Fritz, a veterinary surgeon himself, has worked closely with leading 

authorities in the field of veterinary arthroscopy (e.g. Van Bree, Van Ryssen 

and Lehman) to develop a range of arthroscopic instruments with our 

patients in mind. 

Arthroscopes 

An arthroscope is a rigid endoscope consisting of a system of lenses, which 

collects and transmits an image from the tip of the instrument along the 

shaft to an eyepiece or camera. A light post close to the eyepiece allows 

light to be passed into the shaft and down optic fibres surrounding the lens 

system to illuminate the subject area at the tip. An arthroscope may be 

defined using four different parameters, 1) diameter, 2) viewing angle, 

3) field of view and 4) working length. Arthroscopes for small animal use 

are available in three diameters. 

The diameter refers to the outside diameter of the unsheathed shaft of the 

telescope. Three sizes are commonly used in small animal arthoscopy: 

2.7mm, 2.4mm and 1.9mm. Arthroscope technology has improved so 

much that optically the new 2.4mm arthroscope is as good as the older 

2.7mm version. For this reason we now only offer 2.4mm and 1.9mm 

arthroscopes. Patient size and the joint to be investigated will dictate 

selection of the arthroscope. The 2.4mm arthroscope is fine for most 

procedures but can prove a little large in small elbows. As the diameter of 

the arthroscope becomes smaller, there is less space for optical fibres, 

which has implications for light transmission and image size. Recent 

improvements in construction such as the use of rod lens systems as 

opposed to optic fibres has improved the performance of the smaller 

arthroscopes. Additionally the smaller arthroscopes are fragile and care 

must therefore be exercised to avoid damage in use, cleaning and storage. 

The viewing angle is the angle between the lens face and a line drawn at 

right angles to the long axis of the arthroscope (see above right). 

A 0º scope views straight ahead from the front of the lens, while a 90º 

scope sees an image at right angles to the long axis of the scope. Most 

veterinary arthroscopes have a viewing angle of 30º, which is a compromise 

between field of view and distortion. The user needs to be aware which 

way the lens is pointing. The light post is used as a reference point and is 

positioned opposite the angle of view. Rotating the scope along its long axis 

will allow the surgeon to view a large area within the joint with minimal 

repositioning. An oblique viewing angle does offer the surgeon a limited 

ability to see ‘around corners’. 

Each arthroscope will require a dedicated sheath, which protects the 

arthroscope as well as delivering fluid to the tip. Sheaths offering a high 

rate of flow are preferable. The sheath reduces the effective working length 

of the 1.9mm scope to approx 8.0cm. Conversely, the sheath will increase 

the working diameter of the arthroscope. 1.9mm becomes 2.8mm. 

Each sheath has a dedicated trochar which, when inserted in place of the 

arthroscope prevents blocking of the sheath and is used to create a viewing 

portal into the joint. Sheaths are supplied with both blunt and sharp 

trochars. Care should be exercised using the sharp trochar when 

approaching articular surfaces. 

Large image technology means the image virtually fills the monitor screen. 

Exposure control of endoscopic video cameras is much easier, even with a 

1.9 mm diameter telescope! All scopes are available in soakable and 

autoclaveable versions. Autoclaving, especially fine scopes will 

significantly reduce the working life of the instrument. We advise use of 

the soakable versions.

Instrumentation 

Irrigation and Working Cannulae, 

Trochar Changing System designed by VAN BREE 

Cannulae and portals: In order to fully examine the joint under 

investigation it may be necessary to manipulate some intra articular 

structures. The instruments used must be small and be introduced either 

directly through the peri-articular soft tissues or via a dedicated cannula. 

Where serial insertions and withdrawals or a range of instruments are 

required, particularly through multiple layers of soft tissue, a cannula is 

preferable to minimize trauma, (trying to re-find a portal can be 

frustrating). Sets of cannulae dedicated to the most common joints are now 

available. Initially a small diameter cannula is inserted using a trochar, the 

portal may then be enlarged by the use of a ‘switching stick’. The stick is 

inserted into the joint through the small cannula which is then withdrawn. 

Larger cannulae may be slid down the changing stick and introduced into 

the joint. Exchanging a small cannula for a larger one can be surprisingly 

difficult without such an aid. The system is colour coded for ease of use.

Developed and tested at the Veterinary Faculty of 

Vienna, Austria 

Light Sources 

& Cables 

Halogen light sources are inexpensive but not as good as the xenon based 

systems, which are, unfortunately, significantly more expensive to purchase 

and maintain. Xenon light sources have a higher intensity and are essential 

if the unit is to be used for laparoscopic work. Thus xenon is preferable but 

halogen can be used successfully in most joint investigations. Both xenon 

and halogen bulbs have a limited life (xenon typically 500 hours, halogen 

typically 2000 hours) and bulb failure is at best embarrassing so always 

carry a spare. The light cable carries light from the source to the 

arthroscope by fibre optics. Each cable has dedicated connectors to couple 

with the light source and the arthroscope. Connections on both light source 

and arthroscope vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. Converters are 

available for both light source and arthroscope but it is wise, if possible, to 

purchase the appropriate cable for the system.

During recent years, as arthroscopy in small animals has developed, 

researchers realized the necessity of a specific puncture system to create 

an instrument portal in the larger joints. Due to the dense muscle mass in 

shoulder joints, creating a puncture for a working cannula is often quite 

difficult. If a clean puncture allowing access directly to the joint is not 

achieved the first time, the risk of a subsynovial oedema increases greatly, 

thus decreasing the time frame to complete the surgery with each failed 

puncture. The shoulder puncture system has been specifically designed to 

help eliminate this risk. The system allows you to align your arthroscope 

accurately in the joint space. Simply attach the puncture system to the 

arthroscopic sheaths and maintain your arthroscopic vision in a parallel 

direction to the shoulder joint rim. At this point you will find the working 

triangulation portal in an ideal position. After a puncture is created with the 

desired trochar, simply replace the trochar with a working cannula and start 

working with your instruments. Useful for both cranial and caudal 

approaches.

2 ARTHROSCOPY 

Cameras & Monitors 

Direct viewing of the joint through the eyepiece is possible. However, 

practicality and the issue of contamination dictate that a camera system is 

an essential part of the equipment. Arthroscopic cameras work in a very 

similar fashion to video cameras in common usage. The image at the 

eyepiece of the arthroscope is focussed on a light responsive electronic 

chip(s). The signal created is transferred to a camera controller, which 

processes the image into a signal recognized by the monitor and/or 

recording system. 

Most veterinary cameras have a single chip, which is sufficient for most 

users. 

The connection of the camera head to the eyepiece of the arthroscope is

Professional monitors offer a better image than domestic screens as they

Image Capture 

Good practice dictates that a record is made of any arthroscopic 

procedure. Subsequent investigations can be compared to earlier ones and 

images can be shared and compared with colleagues or tutors as part of a 

training programme. Domestic video recorders will create a permanent 

record of a procedure. However the data is relatively crude and difficult to 

manipulate . Still video printers capture an image from a video stream 

which can then be printed onto photographic paper. 

Digital video and data storage technology now allows the surgeon to record 

and store very large amounts of data in a digital format. The digital 

information can subsequently be manipulated by appropriate computer 

software to create both still and moving images in a variety of formats for 

storage or display. If clinical presentations are anticipated then a digital 

system is very desirable. Domestic DVD or combined DVD/Hard drive 

recorders offer huge storage capacities at reasonable prices. 

The data is stored as Digital Video (DV) which can be converted into many 

other formats. The major arthroscopy companies offer sophisticated data 

storage systems which are able to capture and store still and movie files via 

sterile touch screens or camera finger controls. Permanent records are 

maintained on DVD discs or computer hard drives. 

We usually have some pre-owned Sony video printers in stock.

ARTHROSCOPY 2 

Fluid Infusion and 

Outflow 

Infusion of fluids or gas into the joint is essential to create an environment 

in which the arthroscope can view joint structures. The joint must be 

expanded and debris removed to maintain a clear field of view. 

Peristaltic Infusion 

Arthroscopy Infusion Pump 

To maintain an appropriate intra-articular pressure (between 40 and 

100mm of mercury) (0.053 and 0.133 BAR) fluid inflow and outflow must 

be carefully regulated. Fluid under pressure may be obtained by either 

gravity feed systems or a pump. Gravity may be sufficient provided the fluid 

bags can be lifted high enough but greater, more controllable pressure may 

be obtained by use of a fluid compression bag. 

The bag of fluid to be infused is placed into a pressure bag, which is 

inflated using a hand or machine pump. Without careful monitoring hand 

inflation systems offer erratic pressure levels and use of a regulated pump 

offers much better control. A carbon dioxide powered pump may be used 

to pressurize a compression bag or infuse carbon dioxide directly into the 

To create fluid flow through the joint, appropriate fluid outflow or egress 

must be maintained. In the smaller joints (elbow, hock and hip), a large 

bore hypodermic needle may be sufficient. In the larger joints (shoulder, 

stifle) where greater volumes of fluid are involved, dedicated multi 

fenestrated egress cannulae may be necessary, the waste fluid may be 

collected by either bag systems or suction devices. 

Use of direct CO2 infusion is indicated in some inflamed joints where 

inflammatory synovial villae obstruct the visual field, the villae being 

flattened under gas pressure rather than floating free in infused fluid. In 

addition, use of CO2 increases the field of view and image clarity of the 

arthroscope. CO2 is usually used intermittently with fluid to allow for 

flushing. 

NEW 

Provided the surgeon is prepared to commit to the purchase of 100 patient 

infusion sets per year Arthrex is prepared to offer its Continuous Wave 

Arthroscopy Pump (AR-6450) (value £3675) on free loan. This pump has 

been in use in the human sector for some 15 years and is very reliable. Line 

pressure and flow rate are user defined. This means that the fluid pressure 

does not have to be continually monitored and adjusted by nursing staff. In 

addition, if the tube pressure is correct, any problems with fluid flow can 

be immediately localised to the arthroscope. This is not the case with 

inflated cuffs where only the pressure within the bag is known.

Electrocautery 

Arthroscopic electrocautery or radiofrequency devices focally create heat 

within the tissues to create haemostasis, debridement or to shrink the joint 

capsule in selected cases of instability. Long, fine insulated probes are 

available which may be powered by standard surgical electrocautery units. 

The tips are bathed in fluid at all times but essentially the same processes 

occur at the tissue level as in surgical electrosurgery. 

Radiofrequency devices create heat by inter-molecular friction. Tips are 

available in both monopolar and bipolar formats and may be used to 

debride structures such as damaged meniscus or fat pad. Capsular 

shrinkage by radiofrequency may be used to tighten joint capsules following 

arthroscopy or injury. Radiofrequency ablation dissolves intra-articular 

tissues at a relatively low temperature. The resulting debris is removed by 

suction. The technique is therefore an alternative to the shaver for removing 

soft tissues. At least one manufacturer supplies combined shaver blades 

and ablator wands which offer both options on the same intra-articular 

device.

Ablation wands 

Virtually the only powered instrument in use in Veterinary arthroscopy is 

the shaver. The shaver is essentially a motorized bur. It may be used to 

debride cartilage, bone or soft tissues. A range of tips of different designs 

and sizes are available to manage the different tissues. Tips designed for 

soft tissues are typically larger and more aggressively toothed. Suction may 

be applied to the cutting tip via the hand piece to remove debris. The hand 

piece is driven by a control box operated by finger or foot controls. The 

speed and direction of cut are selectable. The tips are usually designed to 

be disposable, however with careful use, cleaning and re-sterilisation they 

may be re-used. Very expensive to buy new, Veterinary Instrumentation 

maintains a stock of high quality ex-hospital units for sale.

ARTHROSCOPY 2 

Positioning Aids 

Manipulation of arthroscopes and instrumentation inside a joint via an 

image on a monitor screen can be very demanding. Careful positioning of 

the patient and the surgeon is essential. 

An operating table, fully adjustable for height and tilt is a prerequisite for 

good arthroscopy. Once fully draped, orientation around a canine limb can 

be difficult. Full use should be made of channels, ties and sand bags to fix 

the overall position of the dog. Sandbags may also be necessary to act as a 

fulcrum to open a joint maximally for investigation. e.g., elbow. 

To provide multiple fixed positioning during an investigation a multi arm 

positioning device is available which when attached between the distal limb 

and the table may be locked into an infinite range of positions. An optional 

accessory allows the stifle to be accurately positioned for an investigation. 

Sterility 

Arthroscopes 

Distilled water and an enzymatic cleaner are used to remove gross 

contamination from arthroscopes, sheaths and trochars. Arthroscopes are 

available which can be autoclaved. However, repeated autoclaving of even 

these arthroscopes will significantly reduce their working life, this being 

particularly true of the smaller sizes. Sterility is more commonly achieved by 

soaking in an anti-microbial solution. Historically glutaraldehyde based 

solutions were the norm but health and safety concerns have led to the 

development of safer chemicals based on oxidation. The manufacturer’s 

instructions should be followed carefully. Ethylene oxide, if available, is 

another option. 

Instruments. 

All surgical instruments for intra articular use should be autoclaved. 

Forceps and rongeurs should be thoroughly cleaned by ultrasonics. 

Irrigation systems will drive debris up into the spring mechanism.

Camera systems 

Most cameras used for veterinary arthroscopy cannot be autoclaved but the 

head and cable can usually be soaked in the same solution as the 

arthroscope. Care should be exercised to avoid contact of the sterilizing 

fluid with the electrical contacts at the end of the cable. (Some camera 

leads have sealing caps). An assistant outside the sterile area should plug 

the camera into the controller prior to use. An alternative is the use of a 

sterile disposable camera sleeve to separate the camera head and cable 

from the sterile arthroscope eyepiece. Again should ethylene oxide be 

available it may be used to sterilise the camera head and cable.

Fragment Forceps - 

Pointed Reduction Forceps 

Introduction 

Ideal for fragment reduction, these forceps gently hold fragments in 

position whilst the permanent fixation is being applied. Particularly useful 

in the repair of fractures of the distal femur, acetabulum and distal tibia. 

The smaller sizes are useful in the repair of the long bones of the miniature 

dog and cat as well as the smaller bones of the distal limbs in large patients

Pointed reduction forceps with spin lock 

NEW 

Where delicate reduction of fragments is undertaken, ratchet forceps can 

be frustrating in that they do not give as much ‘feel’ as is desirable. The 

spinlock version is used initially with the spinlock flipped out giving the 

surgeon maximum control. Once in place the spinlock is flipped back into 

position and then gently tightened. 

When lag screwing, it is often the case that the exact point where screw 

placement should be performed is occupied by the point of the reduction 

forceps. Twin point fragment forceps are designed to give secure fixation of 

bone fragments while allowing drilling and screwing between the jaw points. 

Especially useful in repairs of the fractures of the humeral condyles and the 

small bones distal to the carpus/hock.

as they open and close. 

2. A special locking device which can cope with the laxity at the hinge. 

The spin lock and the special jaw make the instrument very nice to use but 

very expensive. 

The veterinary pattern reflects the special requirements of veterinary 

anatomy i.e. the handles typically have to stand up from the bone compared 

with the human situation where the limbs are effectively cylinders and the 

handles can drop away from the bone.

Wire Passers 

These devices are used to direct orthopaedic cerclage wire around long bones 

with minimal trauma. Devascularisation of bone fragments is a serious risk, 

particularly where cerclage wire is being applied. Devitalised 

bone can turn into a sequestrum. Try to keep as 

much soft tissue attachment as 

possible. Available as a double 

ended instrument or in single 

individual sizes. 

Cerclage WireTwisters 

&Tighteners 

Introduction 

Cerclage wire can be a very useful means of fragment fixation. However, 

inappropriate use can lead to devitalisation and wires are often to be found 

in the middle of delayed and non-unions. If the fracture reduction is not 

stable it would be better to take the wire out. Multiple wires may stabilise a 

situation where a single wire will not. Wires must be tight. Typically one in 

five wires will break if you are making the loops tight enough. Cerclage 

wire is tightened by either twisting or tensioning a wire loop.

Bone plates appropriate for the repair of load bearing long bones are very 

stiff. Accurate contouring of plates is essential for precise fracture reduction, 

however, MARKING OF PLATES DURING THE BENDING PROCESS WILL 

LEAD TO REDUCED FATIGUE STRENGTH. Contoured plates should be 

placed with adequate support to minimise cyclical loading. Bone plate 

benders used in pairs are the most economic method of plate contouring.

Today’s implant stainless steel is much stiffer than 20 years ago yet the 

design of standard plate contouring equipment remains unchanged. 

Bending and twisting 3.5mm and 4.5mm plates using standard benders is a 

challenge. Most TPLO plates require careful contouring and are much 

stiffer than the original cast Slocum plates. 

Our longer benders (240mm) with 4mm and 6mm slots are designed with 

TPLO plates in mind to make bending and twisting much easier.

Plate Bending Pliers 

Bone plates suitable for 3.5mm and 4.5mm screws are extremely difficult to 

contour in a controlled manner. Most human orthopaedic presses, if large 

enough to contour the plate, are too large to fit in the typical veterinary 

surgeon's autoclave. 

The small bone plate press is designed for all small animal plates and will fit 

in your autoclave. Will contour 2.7, 3.5, 3.5 broad and 4.5 narrow plates. 

The large press will contour all plates but is 410mm long so check your 

autoclave before purchase. 

These pliers will contour 2.7mm and 3.5 plates. *They will work on 3.5mm 

DCPs but not very well as they are at the very limit of their capacity. Also

Self Retaining Retractors 

Where scrubbed surgical assistance is lacking, self retaining retractors are 

an invaluable aid. 

Adequate retraction is essential for good visualisation of the fracture site or 

lesion. In addition retraction will minimise damage to the soft tissues. Both 

are key elements of successful orthopaedic surgery.

‘K’ Wire / Small Pin Punch 

Osteotomes 

Light 

The cut ends of "K" wires, arthrodesis wires and small pins used for 

fragment fixation e.g. distal femoral fractures, should be buried beneath the 

bone or articular surface to minimise soft tissue irritation. The tip of the 

punch is concave to locate onto the pin end. The other end is struck with a 

mallet. Use 001360 for pins and 001361 for wires.

001342 Osteotome Light 12mm x 140mm £30.55 





Chisels 

Small wires are commonly used to re-attach bone fragments which have 

been produced either by trauma or electively by osteotomy. To minimise 

'backing out', the cut ends of "K" wires and arthrodesis wires should either 

be buried or bent sharply and cut 5-10mm from the bend. The cut ends 

are then rotated to the most comfortable position (see photo). Bending 

with fingers or pliers is difficult to control and is very likely to damage the 

repair. 

The "K" wire/small pin bender is designed to slip over the wire 

concentrating all the bending forces at the pin/bone interface. The 

instrument is double ended, the small end is for 0.9mm, 1.1mm and 1.4mm 

wires, the large end is for 1.6mm & 2.0mm wires.

Thera-Paw 


Thermo Plastic Splinting 

Marq-Easy Thermo Plastic Splinting Rectangular Sheets 

The wide variety of shapes and sizes of animal patients makes splinting a 

challenge. Thermal plastic, widely used in human medicine, is heated in 

hot water and moulded to a specific custom shape for the patient. The 

thermal plastic material is available in a variety of rectangular- sized flat 

sheets. White. 

Thera-Paw acts as a reusable bandage with a protective base 

• The ultra-cushioned sole alleviates pain, reducing lameness and 

promoting more even weight distribution. 

• The use of perforated top-sole material and cut-out design allow the paw 

to breathe and keeps the injured site free from moisture build-up. 

• The rubberized, non-skid base and toe-cap are waterproof, protect the 

site from further injury, and provide better traction. 

• The vertical closure design runs parallel to the carpal/tarsal bones, 

dispersing pressure over a wide area. 

• Thera-Paw is easily cleaned by rinsing it under warm water. Mild 

detergent may be used. It air dries in under 1 hour, and is ready for 

immediate reapplication. 

• Thera-Paw is designed to stay in place and to be worn for extended 

periods 

• The inner vertical seams have been removed to reduce rubbing and 

abrasion. 

• The material gives with movement and allows proper blood flow. 

• The wide-based closure accommodates a variety of foot sizes and 

provides a snug fit. 

• The front opening and closing mechanism makes it easy to slip 

Thera-Paw into place. 

• The outer safety strap provides additional security, to ensure that Thera- 

Paw stays on even the most active dogs. 

• The dual closing mechanism reduces the risk that a dog can remove the 

garment.

section). The caudal ring of the harness should sit just behind the scapulae 

in the centre of the spine. If the ring is too far back it will limit the 

effectiveness of the Biko device. Some harnesses drop the ring too far 

caudally e.g. a large harness on a stocky dog. 

Measurement ‘A’ is the distance from the ring to the cranial aspect of the 

proximal metatarsus. 

Measure ‘B’ is the circumference around the foot at the level of the 

proximal metatarsus. 

Coding . Using the above measurements the product code becomes 

BIKOAABB, where AA is measurement A in cms and BB is measurement B 

in cms. 

Degenerative myelopathy (CDRM) is not uncommon, particularly in the 

German Shepherd, Boxer and Pembroke Corgi. It is a difficult condition to 

manage either medically or surgically. Whilst the progression of the 

degeneration can be delayed by dietary supplements, treatment options are 

very limited. Sooner or later the control over the hind limb deteriorates to 

the point where walking and particularly turning is difficult. Excoriation of 

the toes and dorsal surface of the foot typically follows. Affected dogs are 

well in themselves and owners are often highly motivated. Keeping the dog 

as active as possible is important to delay progression. The Biko physio 

brace has been developed to assist the dog in walking and turning for as 

long as possible. The system is based on elastic straps which run from a 

chest harness to the hind feet. As the the hind foot reaches the end of the 

stride and the weight is transferred to the opposite foot the strap helps to 

bring the trailing foot straight forward ready for the next stride thereby 

compensating for the loss of muscle tone. 

Dogs suffering from nerological deficits, both temporary and permanent, 

due to disc pathology will also benefit from the Biko brace. 

The brace is simple to apply and is tolerated very well. Dogs resume useful 

levels of activity significantly improving the length and the quality of their 

lives. The physiotherapy occurs whenever the dog is walking which makes 

it more effective than sessional hydrotherapy or physiotherapy. Use of 

the Biko brace delays euthanasia or use of a cart. Feedback from owners 

is excellent. 

For best results the brace should be exactly the correct length. Selection of 

the appropriate brace requires that the patient is measured as shown. 

Once fitted the programme supplied should be followed closely for best 

results. Use of the Biko brace may be combined with other therapies such 

as physio or hydrotherapy. 

Should scuffing continue we recommend the use of Therapaws 

(see page 43) 

Measurements and coding 

Before the dog can be measured for the Biko device an appropriate harness 

must be in position. This may be supplied by the veterinary surgeon or 

purchased elsewhere. If there is any difficulty we can supply (see pricing

Fixator Systems 

KE Plus - 

'The Second Generation' 

KE equipment is a very versatile system which has stood the test of time 

and remains the industry standard. However, one major limitation is that 

positive threaded pins cannot be inserted through the standard clamp. 

Most authorities are recommending the use of at least some positive 

threaded pins in any construct. 

Veterinary Instrumentation has developed KE Plus specifically to increase 

the range of pins which may be used including positive threaded pins. For 

any given size of clamp it is now possible to use both larger and smaller 

diameter pins than standard KE systems. KE Plus is fully compatible with 

your existing KE set up. KE Plus clamps have a matt finish compared with 

the polished standard KE clamps.

This clamp remains the industry standard in veterinary orthopaedics. Most 

criticisms levelled at KE are usually attributable to pilot error. Used 

correctly KE is very effective. Used to attach fixation pin to connecting bar, 

the single clamp is the key element of any external fixation frame. Its size 

will dictate the size of the fixation pin and the size of the connecting bar. 

The greater the diameter of the connecting bar and the greater the number 

of connecting bars, the stronger the apparatus. 

As a guide, we would suggest small clamps for up to 5kgs, medium clamps 

for 5 - 30kgs, and large clamps or multiple medium frames for over 30kgs. 

Each clamp will accept a variety of pins. The pin size indicated is the 

largest possible. Smaller pins will also work although the fixation is not 

quite as rigid. e.g. the proximal radius may need a slightly smaller pin than 

the distal radius.

External Fixation 

Double Clamps 

Extra Large Clamps and Bars 

Used to attach a connecting bar to another connecting bar. If possible, the 

fixation pins in the proximal fragment should be linked to the pins in the 

distal fragment via single clamps and a single connecting bar. This is not 

always possible because of the shape of the bones or the angle of 

placement of the pins. 

It may be necessary to connect the pins in the proximal fragment to a short 

connecting bar and the pins in the distal segment to another short 

connecting bar. Finally the two short connecting bars are joined by a long 

connecting bar using double clamps. The frame is not as rigid as the single 

connecting bar frame. Double clamps may be used to connect long bars 

proximally and distally, as in type III frames.

Connecting Bars 

Connecting bars are available in 5/16" for large clamps, 3/16" for medium 

clamps and 1/8" for small clamps. The thicker the bar, the stronger the 

frame. The shorter the bar between bone fragments, the stronger the 

frame. 

Rigidity is important early in fracture healing. When significant callus is 

present, it is often helpful to introduce some slight axial motion by either 

removing some pins or moving the clamps further away from the bone. This 

is known as staging down or dynamising. 

Bars are available in a variety of lengths.

Occasionally it is necessary to add a pin to a frame to improve stability. If

additional pins without disassembly. When fully loosened the clamp slides 

over the connecting bar. Not as secure as a standard single clamp.

Large Linear Fixator (LLF) 

NEW 

NEW 

The small linear fixator is designed for use in the stabilisation of fractures 

requiring pins with thread diameters ranging from 1.5mm to 4mm. 

The clamps are of two types. The ‘slide on’ type is fed onto the end of the 

bar. The ‘hook on’ type may be fitted into the middle of an existing frame. 

Each type of clamp is available as two variants, the 4.0mm variant and the 

2.5mm variant. The 4.0mm variant is used to connect bars to each other 

and for pin thread diameters 4.0mm, 3.5mm and 3.0mm. The 2.5 variant is 

used for pins with thread diameters 2.5mm, 2.0mm and 1.5mm. 

A feature of all the clamps is a system of internal locking grooves which 

interlock when tightened giving very rigid angular fixation (c.f. KE type 

systems). 

The clamps may be used with either Stainless Steel or Carbon Fibre bars of 

4.0mm in diameter. This is a beautifully engineered system which costs 

little more than KE. 

Available as a set including clamps, wrenches, stainless bars, carbon bars 

and pins of all sizes saving 20% on component costs.

The large linear fixator is designed for use in the stabilisation of fractures 

requiring pins with thread diameters ranging from 3.0mm to 6.0mm. 

The clamps are of two types. The ‘Slide on’ type is fed onto the end of the 

bar. The ‘Clip on’ type may be fitted into the middle of an existing frame. 

The clip on clamp is springloaded and clips onto the bar in a semi- retained 

fashion pending tightening. Additionally the pin clamp is springloaded, the 

pins clip in and are retained pending insertion and tightening. The 

tightening of the clamp to the bar and the clamp to the pins are separate 

operations. There is minimal slipping and sliding during assembly. The 

clamp offers multi-point fixation to pins 3.00mm to 6.0mm. A feature of all 

the clamps is a system of internal locking grooves which interlock when 

tightened giving very rigid angular fixation (c.f. KE type systems) 

The clamps are used with radioluscent Carbon Fibre bars, 11.0mm in 

diameter. 

Available as a set including both clamp styles, wrenches and carbon bars at 

a discount price. Use standard pins between 3.00mm and 6.00mm in 

diameter.

ESF Hinge 

Trochar Pins 

Trochar 

Our Trochar pins have a special long point designed to cut bone. Use of 

pins with short trochar tips generates heat which leads to pin loosening. 

The smooth shanks of the pins provide minimal pull out resistance. 

Trochar pins should, therefore, be placed at converging or diverging angles 

compared to other pins in the same bone fragment.

Cortical Negative Threaded Pins(Ellis type) 

Designed specifically to maintain reduction of luxated hips by means of a 

simple frame on the pelvis, the ESF hinge is also useful in transarticular 

frames where continued mobility is desirable, e.g. hock and elbow. 

Attaches to standard KE equipment. Relatively weak in abduction.

001598 ESF Hinge Joint Medium £35.67 

001599 ESF Hinge Joint Large £35.67 

Pin Choice 

There are some rules: 

1. Threaded pins have a higher pull out resistance and may be placed at 

right angles to the bone surface c.f. smooth pins. It is therefore possible to 

place more pins per bone fragment using threaded pins. 

2. Try to place at least 3 pins in each fragment. If only 2 pins are possible 

use as large a diameter as seems safe. The bone holding power of a pin is 

proportional to the bone/pin interface it creates. 1/3 fragment diameter is 

the usual guideline. 

3. As far as end thread pins are concerned, do not worry too much about 

the positive/negative profile. Select your pins based on thread diameter not 

shaft diameter. Your fixator system (old KE) may impose positive profile 

pins on you to obtain a given thread diameter. 

4. Type II frames work much better with mid thread pins but care needs to 

be exercised not to exceed a safe diameter (e.g. proximal radius). 

5 The longer your frame needs to stay in situ (based on fracture type and 

patient factors), the greater the stability and bone/pin interface you will 

require. If in doubt, go for a modified type II, fully threaded.

Cortical 

The drilling tip of this type of pin is the long Trochar. Immediately behind 

the Trochar is a short fine thread designed to engage the far cortex. The 

smooth shank engages the near cortex. The thread/shank junction (the 

weakest part of the pin) is positioned in the medullary cavity and is 

therefore protected. 

Ellis type pins have improved pull out resistance over Trochar pins and the 

angle of placement is not as critical. Ellis pins should be placed at right 

angles to the bone if possible.

Bicortical Negative Threaded Pins 

Bicortical 

Negative bicortical pins have had a bad reputation for early failure at the 

thread pin junction. Where selection of pin and frame are appropriate 

failure of negative threaded pins is rare. 

The important criterion is thread diameter not shaft diameter. For any 

given thread diameter both positive and negative threaded pins are equally 

strong. Virtually all human pins are negative threaded!

Coarse Negative Threaded Pins 

Pearson Positive Threaded Pins 

The thread on this pin is similar to a self-tapping cortical screw. The drilling tip 

is, again, the long Trochar. In young bone, use without pre-drilling; in older, 

hardened bone, use smaller pilot hole. 

The much improved pull out resistance means that these pins can be placed 

parallel within the same bone fragment; useful when fragment is smaller or 

when aligning proximal and distal fragments. More prone to pin fracture than 

Ellis pins. Always use three pins on either side of the fracture if possible.

Positive Threaded Pins - Cortical 

End Thread 

Mid Thread 

The fine threads of these pins are proud of the shank eliminating the weak 

point where the thread ends in other pins. The major benefit of positive 

pins is that the additional thread diameter creates a larger bone pin 

interface for a given shaft diameter. This style of pin is useful where a good 

pull out resistance is required and where it is anticipated that the frames 

will be left in situ for long periods - 6 weeks plus. Use KE Plus clamps if 

available. Place at right angles to the bone. 

The mid threaded pin provides good pull out resistance in frames where 

the fixation pins are supported on either side of the limb by connecting 

bars. i.e. Type II frames.

The benefits of positive threaded pins in long term ESF frames are well 

known. However, there is evidence that impaction of bone debris causes 

problems at the bone pin interface. The special fluting of the Pearson Pin 

addresses these problems. The special tip DOES NOT require predrilling 

thereby reducing time and soft tissue morbidity.

Used almost exclusively in the management of complex humeral fractures 

involving a variant on the ‘Y’ or ‘T’ fracture. The olive, positioned at the end 

of the threaded portion of the pin, acts as the screw head in a lag screw. 

Bone fragments may be compressed and incorporated into the external 

fixator frame. The bone fragment involved is usually the lateral condyle.

Pin Insertion 

Safety Pin Cutter to 4mm 

Standard Cutters 

Safety Cutter 

Correct pin insertion requires slow axial rotation under pressure. A Jacobs 

hand chuck can be used particularly where bone is young and soft. There is 

a tendency when using a hand chuck to produce a hole which is not 

circular, this will reduce the pin/bone interface resulting in premature pin 

loosening. The small Jacobs hand chuck gives better control and is big 

enough for 2, 3 and 4mm pins. 

The ideal instrument in my experience, is the Variable Speed Orthopaedic 

Drill which offers maximum control and minimal wobble. It delivers pure 

axial rotation. It is a low speed, high torque device and, of course, useful 

elsewhere in veterinary orthopaedics. 

For further details about the drill and spare chucks 

see Chapter 5 - Power Tools.

Most types of bolt cutter; 

• cause the cut end to fly off in a potentially dangerous manner 

• create a sharp point leading to soft tissue irritation 

• deform the cut area which may jam in ESF clamps. 

The enclosed shearing action of this pin cutter addresses all these 

problems. The cutting range and type of action makes this cutter ideal for 

trimming ESF pins. The actual cut is 5mm below the surface of the cutter. 

ESF Tissue Protector 

SAFETY PIN CUTTER to 4mm 

001229 Safety Cutter to 4mm Stainless 32cm £156.00 

Protection of soft tissue is very important when placing an ESF frame. 

Tissue protection whilst placing single pins is relatively straight forward. 

However, once a bar is in position passing a pin through a clamp into bone 

presents a particular difficulty. Standard tissue protectors cannot be 

removed. The ESF tissue protector splits along its length to allow removal. 

The tip has small serrations to encourage grip on the bone surface.

Acrylic Pin External 

Fixation System 

An Acrylic Pin External Fixator (APEF) 

is created by replacing mechanical 

connecting clamps and rigid 

connecting bars with mouldable acrylic 

columns. 

APEF is indicated for any fracture or 

arthrodesis where a comparable sized 

bar/column fixator would be 

appropriate. Research has shown the 

acrylic columns provide equal or greater 

strength when compared to the 

traditional K-E designs in all standard 

configurations. The illustration shows 

use of frame alignment kit APFAK422. 

Please bear in mind that, ultimately, the 

acrylic has to be poured which will have 

implications for the repair.

Epoxy 

Epoxy ESF Putty 

Epoxy ESF Putty 

Epoxy E.S.F. putty is a simple to use, quick and convenient alternative to the 

standard bar and clamp system. The putty, once mixed, stiffens in 5 

minutes and within 1 hour is fully cured. The putty can be applied and then 

the fracture reduced allowing precise manipulation of the fracture site. The 

versatility of the system allows the putty to be used in place of clamps, to 

cover sharp ends of cut pins, and many other applications. 

There are two pack sizes in a bar format with the premeasured catalyst in 

the centre of the bar ready for mixing. The product is clean and has a long 

shelf life. Only mix the quantity you need, cutting the required amount off 

the end of the bar. If you find you don't have enough, more can be 

prepared in a matter of seconds. E.S.F. putty sticks to itself very well and 

may be used for repairs and corrections. Particularly useful in fractures in 

small furries where proximal and distal fragments may be attached together 

with 'blobs' of putty in place of clamps regardless of fixation pin site. 

• Easy to use 

• Economical 

• Versatile 

Typical Applications 

• ESF applications requiring multiple pins of various sizes 

placed at various angles. 

• ESF applications in rabbits and guinea pigs 

• Fractures of the jaw 

• Protecting sharp ends of cut pins 

• Joining non-standard pins and bars 

• Use to add a pin mid frame

Dynamic Fixators 

External fixation has an increasingly important place in veterinary 

orthopaedics including the management of fractures, non unions and 

growth plate abnormalities in adult dogs. 

In addition to the standard KE and KE Plus systems,Veterinary 

Instrumentation also offers a range of dynamic external fixators which are 

of particular use in the management of growth plate injuries in the growing 

dog. 

Linear Distractors 

Uniplanar Dynamic Distractor 

Bone lengthening is occasionally required to substitute bone lost through 

growth plate abnormalities, e.g. short radius or trauma. The bilateral 

dynamic fixator is more user friendly than the ring fixator. N.B 1.00mm 

pitch means that one full turn of the adjuster moves the assembly 1.00mm. 

Sliding clamps are available as either single or doubles. When significant 

bowing of the bone involved has occurred (usually radius) some singles 

may be necessary.

Ring Fixators 

Ring Fixator Kit (001800) 70, 100, 120 &160mm Rings 

Veterinary Instrumentation’s full ring fixator set includes all the instrumentation 

and implants for virtually all appropriate Veterinary procedures. It is closely 

based on the well proven original Ilizarov model with some modifications for 

small animal use. For full details check www.ringfixator.com. 

The kit is available in two forms: 001800A has 70 and 100mm rings 

manufactured in high tensile aluminium. 001800C has the 70 and 100mm 

rings made from ultra lightweight carbon fibre. In both sets the 120 and 

160mm rings are made from stainless steel. 

Connection plates are used to convert half or 5/8 rings into ellipsoid or ovals. 

A range of clamps is included to allow the fixation of wires to the rings in a 

variety of positions. Half pins (negative or positive profiles) may be added to 

the frames using the posts and clamps provided. 

Several spanners are included to enable the surgeon to access clamps in 

restricted areas and to allow the surgeon to accurately control wire alignment 

and to a degree wire tension. 

Conical washers allow rings to change angle relative to the threaded rods for 

small angular adjustments. 

Hinges are included for dynamic angular deformity correction. 

360 degree universal joints are included. 

The incremental motors move 0.25mm per click. 

A dedicated mechanical tensioner facilitates application of tension. 

Although not critical using smaller rings, tension is very important using thin 

wires on large rings.

Desoutter Cast Cutter 

Removal of casts without a power saw is extremely hard work and very time 

consuming. This has implications for procedure costs and anaesthetic risk. 

The Desoutter saw is extremely reliable and makes short work of all cast 

materials. (The harder synthetics require the diamond blade).

The Multi saw is a multi-function oscillating saw which may be used as a 

cast cutter and a surgical oscillating saw. The standard rechargeable saw is 

supplied as a kit including charger, battery and gypsum type saw blade. 

Our stainless attachment converts the multi saw into a surgical saw in a 

similar fashion to our orthopaedic drill. With the converter and shroud in 

place, all exposed surfaces are sterile. Excellent for total femoral head and 

neck excision and TPLO by Tibial Wedge Osteotomy. A wide range of 

blades fit the multi saw. We recommend either the Desoutter S82 series or 

the Halls 5071 series. The latter offers a slimmer cut 0.8mm c.f. 1.2mm.

This adaptor converts our standard Multi Saw into a radial/biradial blade 

driver. The mount is in fact the old Stryker triangular mount. Please bear 

in mind the following, once mounted the saw sits at right angles to the 

long axis of the saw c.f. standard Slocum type saws. Additionally the cut 

is less aggressive in that the oscillation is 4º rather than the 6º of 

standard saws. The cut will, therefore, be slower. Ideal as a budget 

alternative or as a back up to your air saw.

3M’s Orthopaedic Equipment 

3M's equipment remains the first choice for top referral practices and 

university departments. The equipment is very reliable and relatively easy 

to maintain. There is also a place for 3M equipment in general practice for 

veterinary orthopaedic surgeons who enjoy their surgery and who wish to 

provide their clients and patients with the best possible care. 

Unfortunately 3M equipment is no longer available new. Our experience 

with 3M is such that we have obtained good quality pre-owned supplies 

which will provide many years of quality service at a reasonable price. 

We can service all 3M equipment. Call for details. 

Mini Driver K200 Hand Piece 

The 3M Mini Driver is a 

modular system comprising a 

handpiece plus a range of 

quick fit attachments. Where 

we offer a set for sale it will 

include: handpiece, drill, 

wiredriver, saw, AO quick fit 

attachment, hose and 

autoclave case. 

Wire Driver K111 

Power Tools 

Reattachment of osteotomies or small 

bone fragments is often best achieved 

using "K" or arthrodesis wires. 

Driving long wires often results in 

bending. Driving short wires 

in a Jacobs chuck 

requires time 

consuming and 

repeated adjustments. 

Sagittal Saw K220 

The wire driver is designed to drive "K" 

and arthrodesis wires 0.9mm to 2.0mm 

accurately with finger tip advancement 

of the wires. 

For osteotomies in confined areas, e.g. excision arthroplasty, radial 

osteotomy, triple pelvic osteotomy. A large range of saws and blades are 

available. See overleaf for blades. 

The Mark II K220 saw attachment (illustrated) is stronger and takes longer 

blades than the earlier K120.

“In my view the Halls wiredriver has a nicer action than the 3Ms version. 

The trigger has a two stage action. An initial squeeze grips the wire and a 

full squeeze initiates the drive mechanism. Wires may be inserted 

incrementally very quickly. At no time is a long section of wire exposed 

which tends to bend. Fits standard Halls hoses (which is the same as the 

Whittemore saw). This is a stand alone unit unlike the Mini driver and Maxi

Bur Guards 

Bur Brush 

Burs and bur guards are common to both the Minos and the Surgairtome II. 

A bur guard should always be used when driving burs. Spinning at 100,000 

rpm the shaft needs support. 

BUR GUARDS 

1375-023 Extra Long Bur Guard £456.46 

1375-011 Long Bur Guard £289.55 

1375-012 Medium Bur Guard £289.55 

When burs stop cutting mid procedure the reason is usually clogging of the 

cutting flutes. High speeds (100,000 rpm) minimise the problem. Dremel 

type flexdrive units are particularly prone. Our bur brush is used to clean 

the bur without damaging it. It may be more convenient to change the bur 

and clean them up afterwards. 

BRUSH 

A315 Bur Brush £17.20 

Burs 

All surgical burs have a 2.36mm shank (HP fitting) and will fit in all high speed surgical bur machines e.g. 3M's Minos, Halls Surgairtome, Foredom. We have 

selected Komet burs for their high quality. All are single pack and non sterile. In human surgery burs are regarded as disposable items. In veterinary surgery 

the cost precludes using burs as disposables. However, use of burs which are less than sharp extends procedure time and creates heat. We do advise that 

burs are checked and changed on a regular basis. 

Diamond burs are sharper and create less heat that carbide equivalents. Adequate irrigation is essential. Please see chart for options and prices.

All the air equipment runs on Medical Air at 7 Bar (100PSI) Drills and saws 

can be run from compressors as their air requirement is intermittent. High 

speed drills need bottled gas or a big compressor. A twin dial regulator is 

best to control gas pressure (001756). One dial gives bottle pressure, the 

other one gives line pressure (7 Bar). 

UK supplied hoses come with an MA7 probe (Medical Air 7 Bar pressure). 

Schrader fittings on hoses purchased from the USA look similar to UK MA7 

probes. Many will however not lock into UK MA7 sockets. The best solution 

is to change the probe. A cheaper alternative is to use a Schrader/MA7 

adaptor (001758).

Slocum TPLO blades create a patented biradial cut which means that the 

tibial plateau segment fits the distal tibia section exactly with maximum 

bone contact. While this is a good thing the design of the blade does not 

cut very efficiently and needs regular hand sharpening if excess heat is not 

to be produced. Veterinary Instrumentation has been looking at TPLO 

blades for a number of years and is introducing a range of Radial blades 

which cut better and are cheaper to replace than the Slocum original. They 

have the same triangular stryker connection. 

Currently the stainless steel radius saw is only available in 24mm. A multi 

blade hub is under development due for release in April 2007.

We are now able to supply radial cut blades in the following sizes: 18, 21, 

24, 27, & 30mm. 

The 18 & 24mm blades fit the small mandrel and the 21, 27 & 30 blades fit 

the large mandrel. It is sensible to buy a mandrel for each blade size you 

wish to use. 

The theoretical benefits of a bi-radial blade are well known. However, in 

practice the bi-radial blade is not very efficient at cutting bone even when 

new. After hand sharpening the efficiency falls still further. An inefficient 

blade creates heat. The thermal necrosis produced by the bi-radial blade 

neutralises any benefit derived from the bi-radial cut. 

Our titanium blades are light, thin, hard and replaceable. In addition the 

blades have a ’set’ (the teeth are alternately offset as in all wood cutting 

saws) which creates a slot slightly wider than the blade. This reduces the 

friction and heat still further as well as preventing the blade jamming in the 

osteotomy. When the blade becomes worn simply replace with new sharp 

blade.

6 SPINAL SURGERY 

Surgery of the spine 

Spinal Surgery 

Electric Flexidrive Bur System 

Introduction 

Surgery of the spine in the cat and the dog can be performed in general 

practice provided that appropriate skills and instrumentation are available. 

Diagnostic skills and equipment are of course equally important. 

Myelography is another procedure which is not particularly difficult and can 

be very rewarding. However, myelography perhaps should only be 

performed if the means to correct the problem is available. Spinal surgery 

is an increasingly common topic at CPD meetings and courses. Equipped 

with knowledge and some instruments, practice (initially on cadavers) 

makes perfect. 

Many procedures can be performed using hand instruments only, eg. 

fenestration of cervical and thoraco/lumbar discs. Even 

hemilaminectomies and slotting can be done manually provided that the 

correct instruments and time are available. Access to high speed drills and 

burs does, however, make life easier and significantly reduces surgery time. 

The choice of power tools is very difficult with a wide range of options. 

Important criteria include drill speed, bur range, ease of sterilising and 

expense. 

Veterinary Instrumentation has assembled a range of hand instruments and 

surgical power tools which will enable the veterinary surgeon to perform 

most spinal procedures. 

The range is such that if you do not know exactly what you require ask for a 

selection on a sale or return basis. Simon Wheeler's book is an excellent 

guide. The new edition is now available which is even better. 

For the occasional spinal surgeon, this budget system performs very well. 

The burs run at 0 - 15,000 rpm controlled via a foot pedal and the flexidrive 

is easy to use. Now supplied with removable, autoclavable handpiece. Use 

sterile autoclavable film to shroud the flexible shaft. Supplied as a complete 

kit including burs and instructions. When you are cutting more than one 

back per month think about a Minos/Surgairtome. See pages 71 and 74.

SPINAL SURGERY 6 

Rongeurs & Punches 

Friedman 

All rongeurs and spine forceps cut with one part of the jaw inserted into the 

compromised spinal canal. Our spine instruments are designed to minimise 

the size of the lower jaw. In many cases this will reduce the cutting strength 

of the instrument which should only be used on appropriate bone 

thickness. A selection of rongeurs will be required. 

Duck-billed Daniel Rongeurs

Actual Size 

Very fine rongeurs for incremental removal of bone overlying the spine. 

Designed by Simon Wheeler BVSc PhD, these rongeurs can remove full 

thickness laminal bone in small dogs. They are, however, best used to 

remove the layer of deep cortical bone overlying the spinal cord once the 

superficial cortex and cancellous bone have been removed using power 

tools; this is particularly true of the medium and large dog.

MODULAR FORCEPS WITH PUNCH & RONGEUR INSERTS 

001448 Kerrison Modular, Multi-Position Inserts £350.00 

40 º Bone Punch Forceps (Low Profile) 

This is a traditional design with a 40 degree 

upward cutting jaw. Robust spine forceps. 

Good quality and excellent value. 

SMITH KERRISON PUNCH FORCEPS 

001445 Smith-Kerrison Punch Forceps 2mm £92.30 

001446 Smith-Kerrison Punch Forceps 3mm £92.30 

This instrument is designed for use with 

high speed bur systems. The bur is used 

to remove the outer cortical layer and 

the underlying cancellous layer, leaving 

only the inner cortical bone 

(appoximately egg shell thickness). 

Access to the neural canal is achieved 

using the bur or a small mobiliser 

(001420). The powerful nibbling action 

allows the final layer of bone to be 

removed in a very controlled manner. 

80 

From a surgical standpoint the foot should be as small as possible, for 

strength the foot needs to be as large as possible. This wedge shape is a 

good compromise. In addition the foot is polished to minimise friction and 

trauma to the spine. Overall length 21cm.

MCKEE DISTRACTOR WITH SPEEDLOCK 

090257 McKee Distractor with Speedlock 24cm £161.62 

Bone Wax 

Both instruments are recommended by Simon Wheeler for the removal of 

wafer thin bone overlying the spinal cord during laminectomy. The Younger 

Good scaler is blunt backed and useful for removal of disc material from 

both disc spaces and neural canal. This is not a standard scaler in that all 

the sharp surfaces are softened to minimise spinal trauma. The Jaquette 

scaler is sharp and best suited to hooking out the final lamina. 

YOUNGER GOOD SCALER , JAQUETTE SCALER 

001422 Younger Good Scaler £16.89 

001424 Small Jaquette Scaler 34/35 £16.89 

Burley Disc Scoop 

BURLEY DISC SCOOP 

The Burley Disc Scoop is designed to 

remove material without repeated 

insertions into the disc space. As the 

scoop is moved around, the nuclear 

material travels along the channel and 

out. 

001501 Burley Disc Scoop £41.33 

Wobblers 

It will not help you if you hit a venous sinus but will control the seepage of 

blood from cut cancellous bone which obscures the visual field. The wax 

physically blocks the blood vessels. 

BONE WAX 

001460 Bone Wax 12 x 2.5g £16.34 

Bone Cement 

An alternative is the distraction of the disc space using a small screw and 

filling the space with Bone cement with Gentamycin BCIG Bone Cement. 

Bone cement is also used for stabilising spinal fractures. Use screws or 

pins to provide ‘keying’ points. 

For full list of available bone cement see pages 114 and 115. 

BONE CEMENT 

BC1G Digital Bone Cement with Gentamycin £29.80 

GelFoam 

NEW 

At the present time distraction fusion techniques seem to offer the best 

chances of success. The rapid improvement following surgery encourages 

the owners to persevere to long term stabilisation. The Mckee washer has 

been shown to give a relatively high success rate for this most difficult 

condition. Each size washer has its own distractor to facilitate insertion. 

The washer is maintained in situ by a 3.5mm position screw.

Gelfoam is absorbable gelatin which is 

water insoluble, non elastic, porous and 

pliable. It is used for its haemostatic 

properties particularly in an around the 

spine. It is also thought to act as a barrier 

to minimise scar tissue ingrowth at 

laminectomy sites. Simon Wheeler thinks 

that it is ‘marvellous’

IMPLANTS & INSTRUMENTS 7 

Instruments 

Implant Designs and Specifications 

For many years, veterinary orthopaedics have been complicated by the use 

of two incompatible plating systems: AO/ASIF type cortical screws plus 

compression type plates, and Sherman type screws plus Sherman and 

Venables type plates. The two systems differed both in their metallurgy and 

their strength. 

All our implants are now made from stainless steel of the latest human 

specification, exceeding DIN 17443 and ISO 5832/1 (all are versions of 

stainless 316LV). This is the same specification material used by other 

manufacturers. In addition where international standards have been applied 

to screw threads e.g. 3.5 cortical screws (DIN 58812) our implants meet 

these standards. It is now safe to use implants from a variety of sources 

provided they meet the above specifications. All implants made in Europe 

must be compatible with each other. 

Round hole plates may be used with cortical screws. Only corticocancellous 

screws with spherical heads can be used to achieve compression using 

compression plates. 

Self-Tapping Cortical Screws 

After many years of being advised by AO that self-tapping screws were 

unacceptable, it now seems that they are fine and are supplied as selftapping 

cortical screws. The pull out resistance is unaffected provided the 

self-tapping flutes sit outside the bone. In our view long holes in hard bone 

should be pre-tapped e.g. a trans-condylar screw in the mature humerus or 

a position screw through the calcaneus. Veterinary Instrumentation's 

cortical kits are now available with self-tapping cortical screws or regular 

cortical screws which require a tap. 

Stainless Equipment Boxes 

BX2735CS 

The design of this stainless lidded box is such that steam can circulate freely 

to ensure complete sterility. The standard size is 250 x 150 x 55mm, which 

fits all typical veterinary autoclaves. A range of boxes has been developed to 

house plating equipment and implants for each screw size system. 

Suffix CS is for AO type cortical screw equipment. Suffix ST is for 

self-tapping (Sherman) type equipment. Equipment not included. 

Implant Codes 

To minimise confusion regarding ordering, we have given our implants codes 

which accurately describe the item in question. For example: C2706052 is a 

compression plate for 2.7 screws which has 6 holes and is 52mm long. 

To further assist in decision making and ordering, templates are printed on 

pages 229 to 234 which show the exact shape of all the plates available. 

Each outline is described by its own code. Acrylic overlays of these 

templates for use during fracture planning with radiographs are available 

free of charge from Veterinary Instrumentation.

2.7mm Round Hole Plate (6mm wide - 2mm thick) 

Bone plates for 2.7mm or 7/64" screws usually have too few holes in the 

wrong places. The 2.7mm round hole plate has holes at 6mm intervals in a 

range of lengths. These plates are stronger than Sherman plates. See 

template for details. 

2.7mm Round Hole Plate 

This system of screws and plates utilises the familiar 7/64" self tapping 

screw. The head has a single slot. Until now the available bone plates for 

this screw were extremely limited, the plates were too weak with too few 

holes. A wide range of plates are now available, including "T" plates and 

reconstruction plates 

2.7mm - 7/64" Self Tapping Screws (Sherman) 

For use with 2.7mm - 7/64" round hole plates in small to medium patients.

3.5mm 9 / 64” Self Tapping Screws (Sherman) 

Although looked down upon by some orthopaedic surgeons, the 9/64" 

Sherman bone screw has a very similar pull out resistance to 3.5mm cortical 

screws. The main problem with this screw has been the lack of suitable bone 

plates. Our range of 3.5mm round hole bone plates widens the scope of these 

self tapping screws considerably. Use flat screwdriver SDF350 or cruciate 

screwdriver SDC3500. The head of this screw is conical. It cannot be used in 

DCP’s to create inter-fragmentary compression.

Cortical Kits 

Placement of a compression plate is a specialist procedure requiring 

training and dedicated equipment. It is convenient to purchase the range of 

specialised instruments as a kit in a stainless steel autoclavable case. The 

kit contains a screw rack and a range of plates and screws to meet typical 

requirements. The instruments are discounted when purchased as a kit. 

For more details phone 0845 130 9596 or visit www.vetinst.com and 

follow the info: links to “kits.” 

Compression Plates and Cortical Screws 

(AO/ASIF type) 

By carefully positioning screws within the special holes of compression 

plates, compression can be exerted at the reduced fracture site as the 

screw is tightened. As the spherical head of the screw strikes the rear edge 

of the hole in the plate, the screw, (and the attached bone) are forced away 

from the edge of the hole and towards the fracture site. 

The object of compression is to provide for primary bone union. A special 

guide must be used to position accurately the screw hole within the plate. 

The oval shaped holes in DCP’s allow a greater range of screw angulations 

than round hole plates. Cortical screws are available in both tapped and 

self tapping formats.

Taps 

Adjustable Drill Guide 

A tap is essentially a cutting tool designed 

to pre-cut screw threads into the pilot 

hole prior to screw placement. The profile 

is similar to the screw in question but has 

long flutes to allow bone debris to be 

cleared. Taps are available as stand alone 

‘T’ bar configuration or as a quick release 

version which require a separate handle. 2.7, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5 and 6.5mm quick 

release taps require Synthes type quick release handle. 1.5 and 2.0mm 

quick release taps require a small dental fit handle.

Our adjustable Drill Guide allows accurate placement of drill holes by 

predetermination of drill entry and exit points. Locks onto bone to minimise 

errors. 

• The swivelling point allows use of the guide where access is limited. 

• Supplied with 2.0, 2.5 and 3.5 drill sleeves. Use the appropriate sleeve 

for the drill in use. 

• A scale on the instrument measures hole depth. 

• Applications include condyle fractures, femoral neck tunnels and screw 

holes, proximal TPLO screws, ununited anconeal process. 

In our view this design has significant advantages over ‘CEG’ and ‘C’ guides.

(e.g. for a 3.5mm cortical screw, drill 3.5 lag hole in proximal cortex, insert 

SL3525 and drill through it into the trans cortex. Finally tap and insert 

screw.)

and blood vessels, causing serious 

damage. Use of tissue protection 

sleeves minimises such damage. The 

teeth at the top of the guide locate on 

the bone whilst the stainless tube 

provides a barrier between soft tissue 

and implant equipment.

Depth Gauge 

Accurate measurement of hole depth is essential in order to select the 

appropriate screw size. A range of gauges is available for various screw 

sizes. Hole depth is read from the instrument. Add extra to allow for over 

penetration. Use in self-tapping or cortical systems. 

DEPTH GAUGE 





Load Neutral Drill Guides 

To exert compression at the fracture site, the cortical screw must be 

positioned precisely within the slot in the compression plate. The 

load/neutral drill guide has two tips, one for compression (load) and one 

where no compression is exerted (neutral). There is one combination for 

each screw/plate size. Each guide is marked with the drill size to be used.

If the screw is destined to screw down onto the surface of the bone without a 

plate, it is helpful to contour the top of the screw hole to fit the screw head. 

This procedure is especially important when lag screwing relatively small 

fragments. Failure to countersink may lead to fracture of the bone fragment.

Bending Templates 

To avoid repeated entry into the operation site when contouring plates, an 

'aluminium' bending template is contoured to the bone. The steel plate is 

then bent to match the template using irons or a bone plate press.

2.0mm Cortical Self Tapping Screws - hex head 1.5mm 

(use 1.5mm pilot) 

This type of screw is becoming increasingly popular in both human and 

veterinary orthopaedics. Self tapping flutes at the tip obviate the need for 

pre-tapping which saves time and reduces time related complications. Pull 

out strength is not affected provided the self-tapping flutes lie outside the 

bone cortex. Allow an extra 1mm when assessing screw length. Drill data; 

pilot drill 1.5mm, clearance drill 2.0mm.

Broad 3.5mm Compression Plate 

Occasionally a lag screw has to be placed exactly where the neutralisation 

plate required to protect it should sit. This usually results in a compromise 

of one or the other being placed in a less than ideal position or a fiddle 

trying to feed the screw through the plate at the same time as reducing the 

fracture. Veterinary Instrumentation’s new keyhole plate allows the plate to 

be placed after the lag screw. Before tightening the screw it is a simple 

matter to fit the protecting plate over the head of the screw. The screw 

head tightens into the narrower part of the keyhole. The design of the 

keyhole allows a greater range of screw angle than is possible in a standard 

DCP. The strength of the plate is unaffected. Available as a 3.5 7 hole DCP 

i.e. the keyhole hole and three either side.

Locking screws 

NEW 

Compatible with standard locking plates our screws require a standard 2.5 

hex screwdriver (the same as cortical screws). The threads are finer than 

cortical screws as they do not need to grip bone as well as cortical and 

cancellous screws. Using locking screws and plates, the bone is attached to 

the screw and the screw is then locked onto the plate. DCPs rely on being 

trapped between the head of the screw and the bone. The implications of 

this are that less stress is placed on the interface between screw and bone. 

In addition the plate does not have to be contoured as accurately. It is 

rather like an internal external fixation in that the locking plate and screws 

holds the bone fragments in a fixed position relative to one another. To 

ensure that the fine thread of the screw aligns exactly with the threads in 

the plate it is essential to use the dedicated drill guide which screws into 

the plate prior to the drilling of the pilot hole.

Locking Plates 

NEW 

Titanium Screws 

The head of the locking screw locks into the matching threaded hole in the 

plate. The plate is not attached to the bone by being trapped between 

screw and bone. Rather the plate and screws form an external fixator 

construct just above the bone under the soft tissues. Less stress is placed 

on the screw bone interface making this construct ideal where bone stock 

is poor. In addition contouring of the plate is much less important. As the 

screw tightens into the plate the bone fragments are held in reduction 

rather than being pulled up to the plate and possibly out of alignment. 

Holes will accept either standard screws or locking screws. Relieving 

grooves facilitate contouring. Use locking plug to minimise hole 

deformation. 

The dual hole allows compression to be applied at the fracture side if 

necessary.

Titanium Screws and plates are very commonly used in man particularly for 

facio maxillary repairs. The most important benefit in this application is that 

Titanium does not interfere with MRI scans. Compared to stainless steel 

Titanium is lighter and much more osteo compatible. 

The major application in veterinary orthopaedics is in conjunction with the 

TTA cruciate procedure.

The problem with many distal radius fractures is that the distal segment is 

so small that it is difficult to place sufficient screws. T plates help but often 

the head portion is too bulky. Hybrid ‘T’ plates provide a solution. 

The screwholes in the head are smaller and closer together than those 

in the shaft. 

Two sizes are available 2.7/3.5 and 1.5/2.0 

Both plates will accept the same screw in the head as in the shaft but with 

reduced range of screw angle. 

The longer plate is useful for complex distal radius fractures and 

corrective osteotomies.

Supracondylar Plates 

NEW 

BHP2008065 

These plates are designed to bridge a section of shattered long bone. It 

effectively acts as a buttress plate. No attempt is made to reconstruct. The 

fracture site is not disturbed to minimise de-vitalisation and contamination. 

The plate maintains length and permits weight bearing. Use of these plates 

avoids leaving empty screw holes over the fracture site which significantly 

weakens the construct. Plates are available in 7 or 8 hole versions. Each 

type of plate is available in a range of lengths. 

BHP2008065 the cat femur plate is contoured for the average cat femur. 

Use when proximal and distal sections are intact and the body of the femur 

is un-reconstructable. If it cannot be reconstructed it is better not to try. 

See page 234 for all Biological Healing Plate profiles. 

All holes are round as compression is not required and there is better 

screw/plate contact with round holes.

Many new sizes 

Supracondylar femoral fractures in mature animals can be very difficult to 

repair. Small fragment size makes placement of sufficient implants a 

challenge. In medium and large dogs there are often multiple small 

fragments in the supracondylar area. The forces acting on the distal femur 

are complex requiring a special plate to neutralise them. The 2.7 and 

3.5mm plates were developed by Mark Glyde using finite element analysis. 

Available in a range of sizes and lengths. 2.0, 2.7, 3.5 narrow and 3.5 broad 

(two lengths). Use bending templates to pre-contour plates.

deformity. The distal femur is a difficult area to appropriately contour and 

place sufficient screws. Using finite element analysis Mark Glyde designed 

a preformed plate specifically for this area. Screw hole placement allows for

Hybrid Plates 

Pantarsal Arthrodesis Plate (medial) 

Pancarpal Arthrodesis Plate (Hybrid Plates) 

‘Off the shelf’ we have a 3.5mm plate bent at 135 degrees tapering to 

2.7mm holes distally. This plate applied to the medial aspect of the joint fits 

in most cases. The plate was developed using our experience of producing 

custom plates. The plate is especially strengthened at the stress point 

around the talus screw. If this plate is not suitable please send a radiograph 

or tracing and we will design and make a plate for you. If you are faxing a 

drawing please draw a line 100mm long prior to transmission. See page 

234 for an actual size profile of the 2.7/3.5mm plate. Use a tibio 

calcaneous position screw to maximise stability. 

NEW 

Our 3.5/2.7 Hybrid Pantarsal plate has proved very popular. Based on our 

database of manufacturing custom plates for small dogs and cats we are 

now in a position to offer two further plates as standard. Surgeons are 

encouraged to check the patient’s radiograph against our Pantarsal 

Arthrodesis profile sheet on page 234 of this catalogue or as a download 

from www.vetinst.com. Both are designed for medial application. Lateral 

application is acceptable if circumstances dictate. However, you must order 

the ‘wrong’ side. 

Small Dog 135 degrees 2.7/2.0mm. This plate will fit most patients 

requiring 2.7mm screws in the tibia and 2.0mm screws in the metatarsals. 

Cat 120 degrees 2.7/2.0(1.5)mm. This plate is designed to perform 

arthrodesis to the compromised calcanoquartal (hock) joint which is 

commonly subject to shearing injuries or fracture dislocations. Proximally 

the plate will accept 2.7mm screws. Distally the plate will accept either 

2.0mm and 1.5mm screws.

Pancarpal arthrodesis is a regular procedure in veterinary orthopaedics. 

Standard plates tend to be either too big for the metacarpal or too small for 

the radius. Our range of hybrid carpal arthrodesis plates tries to give you 

the best of both worlds. 

The taper on the distal part of the plate makes closure easier and 

automatically produces an angle of around 5 degrees. (See page 233 for 

plate profiles.) 

Some surgeons prefer greater coverage of the metacarpals than is offered 

by our standard plates. We now offer an extra long plate which is designed 

to give over 50% coverage of the metacarpal segment. 

For partial carpal arthrodesis try our TPLO plates (see page 231). Also 

useful for pantarsal arthrodesis, intertarsal arthrodesis, distal tibial fracture 

and distal humerus fractures.

Drill Bits - Hard 

Expensive but last a long time. All Synthes fit drills, and those round shank 

drills with a diameter of 3.2mm or more, come in short and long lengths. 

These drills are much stiffer than implant quality ones. Particularly 

recommended for drills less than 3.2mm diameter. Drill fragments do not 

cause a problem. G suffix indicates gold titanium nitride coating.

Steinman Intra-Medullary Pins 

Bone Pin Storage 

Bone Pin Roll 

Bone pin storage and sterilisation 

is difficult. Pins are long and 

sharp. The bone pin roll stores at 

least one of each pin. 

BONE PIN ROLL 

090038 Bone Pin Roll £27.55 

Bone Pin Tubes 

Simple, cheap and often the best technique for the repair of long bones. 

I/M pinning does not resist compression and rotation very effectively. It 

may be helpful to add an external fixator for two weeks if in any doubt. 

Smooth pins are most likely to migrate. The threaded pins are negatively 

cut and do reduce backing out particularly if the distal fragment is small. 

Our Trochar tips are designed to cut bone but care must be exercised to 

avoid heat necrosis during insertion. Can be cut in half to produce cheap 

ESF pins. Most pins chucks will only take 1/4" pins.* Do not purchase a 

5/16” pin unless you have a chuck to insert it. Use 1.0mm wire minimum as 

a cerclage.

Implants & Screws 

Interlocking Nail System 

Interlocking nails are a refinement of the original Kuntscher Nail. An 

interlocking nail is basically an intra-medullary pin secured in position by 

proximal and distal transfixing screws which engage the bone to the nail to 

provide axial, bending and torsional stability. 

In comminuted long bone fractures, the Interlocking Nail System is useful 

due to the mechanical advantage of medullary implantation (i.e. mechanical 

axis) and prevention of collapse of the fracture by the interlocking effect. 

Ancillary cerclage wires reduce periosteal stripping and minimise 

disturbance to blood supply compared to plating. 

Veterinary Instrumentation stocks the 4 hole no.11 nails (11mm spacing) in 

8.0, 6.0, 4.7 and 4.0mm nail diameters. 

We also maintain stocks of additional drill bits and taps - please phone

Two stems are available which 

are identical distally.

Acetabular Cups 


The modular format gives four different femur combinations. Two stem 

sizes are available. The taper neck is the same on both. Two ball options 

are available, the ball diameter is 15mm in both cases. The “short neck” 

ball when fitted to the standard taper neck gives a short necked prosthesis 

and the “long neck” ball gives a long necked prosthesis. When combined 

with the two acetabular cups a total of 8 combinations are possible. The 

most common combination is a small stem and long neck ball together with 

a small acetabular cup. 

The surgeon most familiar with the system is Hamish Denny, FRCVS, who 

helped develop the system and has performed over 200 procedures. He 

also produced the instructional video which is available on free loan. This is 

not a ‘high tech’ system which requires a mass of dedicated 

instrumentation and jigs. It is a simple, well proven system which assumes 

that the surgeon has the knowledge and expertise to complete the 

procedure. 

Two sizes are available. The internal diameter is the same, as all the heads 

of the femoral components are 15mm in diameter. The only difference 

between the cups is the wall thickness and therefore the outside diameter. 

All cups are marked with stainless rings to establish cup position on 

radiographs. Cups have very deep grooves on the external diameter to 

provide good cement keying.

The aim of the femoral rasp is to produce a hole the same shape as the 

stem of the femoral prosthesis plus a margin for the bone cement. The 

femoral rasp can create seating for both stems in that both stems have a 

similar profile distally and differ only in the proximal area. To create a 

seating for the large stem simply make a deeper hole.

Supplied sterile with a passive drainage reservoir the pigtail catheter is 

stiffened by a sharp insertion stylet. The drain is guided into postion by 

either direct palpation or by ultrasound. Once the tip of the catheter is in 

position the stylet is withdrawn allowing the tip to coil into the 

characteristic ‘pigtail’ shape. The pigtail shape makes the catheter self 

retaining and minimises obstruction of the drain holes by soft tissues. 

The drain holes sit on the inside of the coil. 

Cavities which may be drained using the pigtail catheter include: 

obstructed bladders, prostatic cysts, abcesses and the chest. The 

standard luer lock connector connects either to the passive drainage 

reservoir (supplied) or a pre-evacuated container.

Bulla Osteotomy Rongeurs 

Removal of hard wax and other debris from the canine horizontal canal 

without causing trauma is a common problem in veterinary surgery. 

It is now accepted that the use of ear loops is more effective than cotton 

tipped products. Most human ear loops are too large and too short for use 

with the much longer veterinary speculae. 

Veterinary Instrumentation's Canine Ear Loop is slimmer and longer to 

facilitate debris removal without obscuring the visual field. The flexible ear 

loop is very fine and flexible for added safety. It is not cheap but should last 

a lifetime. 

Also illustrated is the Canine Ear Model, a valuable aid when explaining 

aural problems and procedures.

Bulla osteotomy is greatly facilitated by specialised instruments. A rongeur 

is more effective than a curette. In addition a Penrose Drain may be 

neccessary. Consider 3mm Smith Kerrison spine punch forceps. Access the 

bulla using I/M pin or trephine. 

Actual Size

The sclerotic bone around the auditory meatus of the diseased ear is some 

of the hardest found in the body. Total canal ablation (TCA) requires that 

the rim of the meatus is nibbled away to ensure that all skin is removed. 

The bulla rongeurs have a small bite (3mm) but are relatively heavy in 

construction. The compound action allows the appropriate force to be 

applied without undue effort on the part of the surgeon.

2.5 Loupe with LED light option 

Heine Binocular Loupes 

German optics are the best. Being able to see exactly what you are doing is 

half the battle with micro-surgery. Each eyepiece contains a number of 

lenses which means that a high magnification of the operating field is 

possible while maintaining normal position of the head relative to the 

patient, i.e. a focal distance of between 340 to 420mm. There are a number 

of variables to think about. 

• Magnification. 4x is as high as one should go. 2.5 is the most common. 

• Working Distance. 

Choose between 340mm and 420mm whatever is normal for you. 

• Spectacle type frame 

(you can fit your own prescription lenses) or head band. 

These top quality 2.5X loupes are mounted on a headband with a unique 

pivot adjustment for ease of use. The loupes flip up out of the way when not 

in use. Use prescription glasses as usual behind the lenses. Powerful 

28,000 lux LED light attaches to the front of the loupe via a clip-on fixture. 

Rechargable battery pack lasts 2.5hours at full power. Intensity adjustable 

via battery pack controls. 

Loupe/LED set available at a discount. Available in a choice of headbands. 

The soft headband is elasticated, the comfort headband is more rigid giving 

a more stable platform.

TonoVet 

TonoVet is based on a new ‘induction impact principle’, where an ultra light 

probe touches the cornea very gently. As such, no topical anaesthetic is 

required. Usually the animal does not even notice so sedation is seldom 

needed. 

The clear benefit compared to the ‘pen’ type tonometer is TonoVet’s low 

force on the eye. The probe weight is a mere 26.5mg with a contact time of 

0.3 millisecs. The ‘pen’ type probe actually bends the cornea. 

In practical terms this means that intra-occular pressure can be measured 

by the Tonovet within an hour of surgery. With ‘pen’ types you have to wait 

4 to 5 hours. 

Uses standard AA batteries. c.f. The 

custom expensive 'pen' type ones.

DENTAL MACHINES 12 

Introduction 

It is possible to scale and polish using only hand instruments. It is, 

however, extremely time consuming. Teeth must be polished after scaling 

or plaque and tartar will quickly reform. 

Piezo Scaler with Detachable, Autoclavable Handpiece 

Simple scaling and polishing can be accomplished using electrically driven 

systems. 

A wider range of procedures including tooth sectioning will require an air 

driven unit capable of delivering compressed air and water to the 

handpieces. 

Ultrasonic Scalers 

Ultrasonic scalers work by delivering high frequency vibrations to a metal 

tip. The vibration may be generated by a variety of mechanisms: 

• Sonic. The tip is vibrated using air from the compressor. The action is 

very gentle but very slow with cost and anaesthesia implications. 

• Magneto restrictive (cavitron type). The tip is vibrated by multiple 

layered metal strips and a magnetic field. Typically their type generates a 

lot of heat which requires a lot of cooling water. 35-38000Hz. 

• Piezo. The movement at the tip is generated by applying a current 

across a crystal. Typically uses less water. 

• Ferrite Rod. The tip movement is generated by an electrical field 

around a ferrite rod. This system is capable of producing higher 

frequencies up to 42,000Hz. 

Veterinary Instrumentation stock Piezo and Ferrite Rod types (iM3 42-12). 

We think these are most appropriate for veterinary use. 

Please note that all ultrasonic scalers should be used with care as 

inappropriate use will result in damage to enamel. 

Piezo Scaler 

This top of the range piezo unit has a handpiece which is detachable for 

cleaning and autoclaving . Separate handpieces may be set up with 

different tips. The controls are simple with an LED power readout. 

Supplied with 5 different replaceable, scaling tips. This unit is supplied with 

its own integrated pressurised water supply system. Alternatively the USD-L 

may be plumbed into your dental unit. Automatic frequency tracking. 

PIEZO SCALER WITH DETACHABLE, AUTOCLAVABLE HANDPIECE 

1020 Piezo Scaler with Autoclavable Handpiece USD-L £395.00 

Supplied with 5 tips this is a reliable unit at a very reasonable price. If you

source. Either plug straight into your iM3 unit or purchase our pump up 

water bottle. CE marked.

iM3 Dentistry 

iM3 is an exclusively veterinary dental equipment company. iM3 

understands the special requirements of veterinary dentists and has 

produced a range of products to meet these requirements. Reliability and 

quality of construction are key features. iM3 units are designed to last and 

last. Older units can be upgraded to current specification. Most specialist 

teachers recommend iM3.

Dental Machines 

CLS 

• Freshens mouth 

• Disinfects mouth & machine 

• Improves bur cutting 

• Minimises cross contamination with Felv FIX 

Used in the water system of dental units CLS 

freshens and sterilises the mouth. When used as 

coolant for high speed handpieces cutting 

efficiency is improved . It prevents transfer of 

FeLV and it can also be flushed through the air 

turbines to sterilise and lubricate them using the 

iM3 CLS flushing system. 

The unique composition of CLS allows use of 

chlorhexidine in all dental equipment. Standard 

chlorhexidine crystallises out from solution and 

will damage your equipment. Do not use regular 

chlorhexidine in dental units as it will crystallise 

out in the handpieces rendering them inoperative. 

Purchase of the larger pack sizes gives significant 

savings.

Plaque Disclosing Solution 

The 42-12 is unlike any other ultrasonic scaler. All other ultrasonic scalers 

work on the 'jack hammer' or scraping movement of the scaler tip. They 

need to remain sharp and scrape the tooth through the movement of the 

tip. They also generate a lot of heat and in many 

instances are unsuitable for subgingival scaling 

because of this. The 42-12 works in a similar 

fashion to a water bath instrument cleaner, where 

the high frequency ultrasonic sound lifts the 

plaque and calculus, the circular motion of the tip 

moves and dislodges loosened debris, which is 

washed away by the water. The extremely high 

frequency, 42,000Hz, and the small tip amplitude (0.02mm) all contribute 

to safer, quicker, less traumatic and more effective scaling. 

The shaft of the tip is totally round, made from titanium and has no fixed 

scaling position; it scales anywhere within 360 degrees. The shaft touches 

the tooth with as much of its length on the tooth as possible and is wiped 

back and forth without pressure, as though you are painting the tooth with 

a paint brush. More pressure does not improve the scaling. The 42-12 

represents the cutting edge of ultrasonic scaler technology today, giving less 

enamel damage and scaling taking half the time. The capsule around virus 

or bacteria will be shattered by the ultrasonic sound within 1-2 mm of the 

tip in subgingival pockets. There is no foot switch but a sliding on/off switch 

on the handpiece. The water supply plugs directly into any IM3 dental unit 

or pump-up water bottle.

Many owners are very aware of the need for scaling and polishing on a 

regular basis. However, should any convincing be necessary the ‘IC Plaque 

disclosure’ is ideal for the purpose. Simply swab around the mouth with 

the convenient dispenser and the plaque shows up as a vivid pink.

Air Driven Dental Units 

To obtain the truly high speeds required for drilling and burring an air 

driven dental unit is necessary. Veterinary Instrumentation can supply three 

levels of air driven dental machines. The iM3 Ultra is state of the art, the 

iM3 GS is a midrange unit built to the same standards as the Ultra. The 

Veterinary Instrumentation Minicart is a straightforward unit containing all 

the essentials of an air driven dental machine. All are offered as a complete 

set up for cutting and polishing but all can be modified by the addition of 

further handpieces and accessories. 

iM3 GS 

All of the Ultra options are available for the GS, apart from suction and 

automatic handpieces. An air driven unit at an affordable price. If you don't 

require suction this unit has all you need. Being less demanding in its air 

requirements the GS can be run from a mid-priced quiet compressor. 

Listed below is a typical set up but many other options are possible We 

would be happy to run through the various possibilities. The main choice is 

between the non- Fibre Optic version and the Fibre Optic version. Details 

of both are shown below. 

The GS is supplied with the following handpieces: Push button Highspeed, 

low speed motor, 4:1 straight nose cone and a starter pack of oscillating 

prophy cups. Many other handpiece options are available. 

Consider also the Rabbit option and the Diamond saw option (see page 

140). Any scaler will work with the GS without the requirement for a pump 

up water bottle. We recommend the iM3 42 12 scaler for best results.

The iM3 Elite unit fits into the iM3 range between the GS and the Ultra. 

The Elite has most of the features of the Ultra but at a significant saving. 

As standard, the Elite has suction and fibre optics. 

As with all iM3 units the machine is plumbed for the addition of a scaler but 

none is included. Both the iM3 42-12 and our piezo scaler plug straight in.

iM3 Ultra 

The only dental unit you will ever need to buy. The iM3 Ultra is state of the 

art and designed to be kept that way. The iM3 Ultra is designed and built to 

last a lifetime. Recognised by leading veterinary dentists as the best unit 

available it is designed to meet your growing requirements. All the options 

can be fitted from the outset or can be added as your expertise or 

experience demands. 

Attention to detail is everywhere, even the routine maintenance instructions 

are printed on the unit for easy reference. Consider leasing, this unit will 

more than pay for itself. 

Silent Hurricane 

A busy dental unit needs a lot of air. The Silent Hurricane is designed to 

deliver what you need without overheating or you having to wait for 

‘compressor catch up’. The large 25 litre reserve means that the 

compressor is not constantly running. CE certified. 

Fibre Optics 

The inside of the dog or cat’s mouth is 

relatively dark. It is difficult to set up ancillary 

lighting to get light to where you need it (c.f. 

human dentistry). Fibre optics deliver 

brilliant light exactly where you need it. Fibre 

optics are standard on the Ultra but an 

option on the GS. 

Automatic Handpiece Activators 

As soon as you remove the Handpiece from the holder it becomes active 

via the foot control. No need to fiddle with switches. Whichever handpiece 

you have in your hand will work when you press the foot control. 

Suction 

Highspeeds and ultrasonics produce a lot of fluid. Removal of fluid especially 

from the back of the mouth is desirable to minimise inhalation or ingestion. 

The integral suction of the Ultra is there when you need it. Strips down for 

easy cleaning and the tips are autoclavable. 

CLS High Speed Flush 

The coolant system on the iM3 Ultra can be switched between distilled 

water and CLS. CLS is used to freshen and disinfect the mouth and as a 

cutting aid for high speed burs. In addition the CLS system can be used to 

flush the high speed turbine thereby killing any FELV which may have been 

sucked in. Flushing is an alternative to handpiece autoclaving which 

significantly shortens turbine life. 

Corian Topped Storage 

The top of iM3 units is made from white Corian which is good to look at and 

easy to clean. On the Ultra the top lifts up to reveal a large storage area for 

handpieces burs etc. A magnetic zone at the front ‘captures’ burs and 

prevents them from falling onto the floor. 

Handpieces 

The iM3 Ultra is supplied complete with the following handpieces. MidWest 

Lever Lock Fibre Optic high speed, low speed motor. 4:1 straight nose cone 

and a starter pack of oscillating prophy heads. 

Consider also the Rabbit option and the Diamond saw option (see page 

140). Any scaler will work with the Ultra without the requirement for a pump 

up water bottle. We recommend the iM3 42-12 scaler for best results.

Rasping is a very inefficient method of levelling rabbit and rodent molars. 

The best method is the use of side cutting burs. Our rabbit bur kit includes 

2 of each of the most useful handpiece burs which fit the 1:1 straight nose 

cone. They are housed in a custom made stainless block which also has 

holes for your favourite friction grip burs for the high speed. To minimise 

damage to the cheek and tongue, a soft tissue protector is highly 

recommended. The soft tissue protector and burs were developed by David 

Crossley. See our rodent dentistry section page 153 for further details.

Handpieces 

1:1 Attachment and Contra Angle (Latch) Head 

High Speed Handpiece 

iM3 Pushbutton 

Running with high speed and low torque this handpiece is designed to 

remove tooth or bone as part of extraction or repair techniques. Use of 

Roto Pro burs (see page 142) allows the high speed to be used as an 

ultrasonic scaler for tartar removal. Only Friction Grip burs fit the high 

speed. Fine water jets cool the bur. The fibre optic version illuminates the 

operative area with a brilliant cold light. Available as push button or 

leverlock. The leverlock action of Midwest is very reliable and makes bur 

tightening virtually foolproof in that no judgement is required

The 1:1 attachment pushes directly onto the low speed motor and 

transmits actual motor speed to the head fitting (it has a blue band). The 

head may be either a prophy head or a contra angle (right angle) head. 

The contra angle head offers a higher torque than the high speed. The 

speed is limited to 24,000rpm. A range of contra burs is available as bur kit 

D752.

Low Speed Motor 

Screw On 

Running with low speed (24.000 rpm) and high torque, this motor is used 

to drive several dental accessories e.g. straight nose cone, prophy heads 

and the latch head. The motor has forward and reverse, controlled by a 

collar near the motor base. The accessories listed will also fit directly onto 

electric drive micromotors such as the Nouvag NM300 see page 144. 

LOW SPEED MOTOR 

L698 Lynx Low Speed Motor Only £301.72 

Straight Nose Cone 

This accessory pushes directly onto 

the low speed motor and drives a 

range of handpiece (HP) burs and the 

diamond disc. This combination is 

used to cut rabbit teeth and drill holes 

in bone. In addition HP burs may be 

used in the straight nose in spinal 

procedures. 6,000rpm is the 

recommended maximum speed for 

prophy cups. If using an air driven unit 

we advise the 4:1 reduction straight 

nose cone (green/green band). If using 

an electric micromotor the 1:1 may be 

used but turn the maximum speed 

down to 6000rpm.

Snap On 

The 4:1 attachment gears down the low speed to around 6000rpm with 

very high torque which is the best speed for polishing teeth. It has a green 

band and is used to drive prophy heads. We recommend the screw-on type 

prophy cups. 

Prophy cups are used in conjunction with abrasive prophy paste to polish 

teeth following scaling. Failure to polish will result in a rapid build up of new 

plaque. 

Screw On Prophy Head 

Far fewer problems with hair and prophy paste. 

Snap On Prophy Head 

Widely used but has some problems in veterinary dentistry. Muzzle hair 

becomes caught behind the ‘button’ and when combined with prophy 

paste quickly degrades the head.

Oscillating Prophy Head 

Roto-Pro Burs 

Developed for human dentistry to combat the risk of HIV the disposable 

prophy head is surprisingly cheap and minimises the risk of FeLV and FIV 

transmission. The oscillating action means there is no heat build-up on the 

tooth surface and ‘snagging’ on muzzle hair is minimal. Available in packs of 

25 or 100. The oscillating disposable prophy fits onto the straight nose cone 

to achieve the correct running speed. Use 4:1 nose cone with air equipment 

which takes the speed down to a maximum of 6,000rpm. Electrical 

micromotors can use the 1:1 nose cone provided the maximum speed is 

adjusted down to 6,000rpm. Use coarse prophy paste for best results.

When run in a high speed handpiece roto-pro burs produce vibrations at 

20,000 cycles per second. These burs are very effective for removing 

calculus. The action is quite aggressive so care must be exercised.

Useful Burs 

Each dental bur has its own unique code which is made up of the shaft type 

followed by the head number followed by the material it is made of, e.g. FG 

702 D is a Friction Grip Bur (for the high speed hand piece), the 702 head 

is a taper fissure cross cut and is made of Diamond. 

Diamond burs create less heat and last longer.

Cochran Bisecting Angle dental Xray Positioner 

NEW 

Features and Benefits 

Suitable for all teeth but especially: 

Canine teeth 

Maxillary premolars and molars 

Incisors, particularly maxillary 

No more film taped to tongue depressors or forceps which have to be hand 

held or propped. 

Once set the operator can leave the radiation zone. 

Minimises elongation, shortening, overlapping of teeth on the x-ray. 

May be used with beam limiting devices (cones) or standard collimators. 

Accomodates standard film, computed (CR) film and digital (DDR) film. 

Lightweight aluminium construction. 

Small animal dental radiography is vital to the successful diagnosis and 

treatment of dental disease. Obtaining accurate intra-operative films can be 

a challenge without the correct technique. 

Bisecting Angle Imaging is a well established technique in both human and 

veterinary dentistry. With this approach even difficult to reach teeth may be 

correctly radiographed. The patented Cochran Bisecting Angle Positioner 

ensures correct postioning of the film every time. 

What is the Bisecting Angle 

In any 90 degree arc there is one angle at which the x-ray beam will 

accurately shadow the tooth on the film (see illustration below). This is the 

bisecting angle: the bisection of angle between the long axis of the tooth 

and the film. The X-ray beam is positioned at 90 degrees to the bisecting 

angle for an undistorted image.

Explorer / Measuring Probe 

Jaquette Supragingival Scaler 

A detailed examination of the patient's mouth is the starting point of any 

dental care programme. This double-ended instrument is all you need. 

The shepherd’s crook explorer is used to test tooth stability and the 

condition of the gum margins. Tartar and gum disease cause detachment of 

the gingivae exposing the tooth root. 

The depth of these sulci are measured using the measuring probe. Details 

are recorded for subsequent treatment and comparisons.

To work effectively both scalers and elevators need to be sharp. Regular

IM3 White Stone Slip 

Wedge Elevator 

This stone has both flat and rounded surfaces to sharpen elevators and 

curettes. Use baby oil as lubricant. 

Designed to remove the Upper Premolar IV (the carnassial) without the 

need to split the tooth. The tooth roots are elevated in the usual manner 

using carnivore elevators or luxators. The tip of the wedge is drilled through 

between rostral and posterior roots. The blade of the instrument is then 

worked under the tooth. As the width of the blade increases the tooth is 

forced from the alveolus. The triangular cross section of the blade supports 

the structure of the tooth during extraction.

Carnivore Elevator 

Double Ended Elevator 

The curved tips are designed to follow the concave and convex curvatures 

of the roots, helping to prevent breaking the roots. 

Removal of the teeth of dogs and cats requires rupture of the periodontal 

ligament. In relatively healthy roots rupture is very difficult, requiring great 

force. Rupture (and therefore extraction) is best achieved by forcing an 

elevator or luxator into the periodontal space. In the dog and cat the space is 

very narrow, quite different to the human situation. Our carnivore elevators 

are thin and very sharp.

Luxators, which are in essence very slim elevators, are favoured by many 

veterinary dentists for the rupture of the periodontal ligament. They are, in 

fact, designed for the human tooth but are very good for veterinary use. A 

veterinary set is now available containing the most useful luxators for feline 

and canine teeth: 1mm straight, 2mm straight, 3mm curved, 3mm straight,

C. 

Veterinary elevators designed by Dr Robert Wiggs. They have short winged 

blades with lateral edges which curve upwards further than traditional 

elevators, improving conformation to the root structure as well as instrument 

control. The narrow neck enhances visibility of the root and the shorter shaft 

improves handling and control, especially if the operators hands are not 

large. The design incorporates the best parts of an elevator and a luxator. 

Aluminium knurled handles are very comfortable in use. Flattened surface 

prevents rolling off the table. Available as a boxed set.

The multi-rooted teeth of the dog and cat should be loose before extraction 

by forceps. The loosening may be due to dental disease or careful elevation. 

As well as firmly gripping the tooth to be extracted appropriate dental 

forceps should support the tooth structure. None of the several hundred 

human forceps available suit the teeth of our patients. The Hawksbill 

forceps are designed specifically for the extraction of multi-rooted teeth in

Management of chronic local infections may benefit from the insertion of 

antibiotic impregnated polymethacrylate (AIPMMA) beads. The beads are 

manufactured from sterile bone cement with the addition of appropriate 

antibiotic. 

Indications include osteomyelitis and abcessation in the rabbit. 

Veterinary Instrumentation offers two kits for the preparation of AIPMMA 

beads. One kit uses cement with no antibiotic; choice of antibiotic will 

depend upon bacteriology and sensitivity. The other kit uses cement 

containing gentamycin which is the preferred choice of antibiotic for many 

infections but is toxic when administered parenterally. Both kits contain 

sufficient material for approximately 100 beads. Full instructions are 

included.

VI Type biopsy needle - BMBJV11 

BMBJV18A 

In the Jamshidi type needle the integral stylet locks into the lumen of the 

needle preventing obstruction by debris. When the needle tip is in the 

desired location the stylet is removed and the sample aspirated. 

The 11gauge needle with the stylet removed may be used to take a 1.5mm 

approx. core of bone from tumours for typing. (see also bone trephines). 

A very good web page on the harvesting of bone marrow can be found at: 

www.vetmed.wsu.edu/courses_samdx/bm.htm 

8 gauge 

Designed as a cost effective version of the Baxter needles (below left), 

takes both marrow and core samples. Drive into a suitable site (wing of 

ilium, tuber ischium, proximal femur), pull back a little, withdraw stylet and 

aspirate. If there is no aspirate, replace stylet, push in further and repeat. 

Manufactured to our specification, these needles represent excellent value.

Treatment of chronic eye infections in the rabbit can be very unrewarding 

with topical ophthalmic preparations alone. It is now accepted that flushing 

the large nasolachrymal duct punctum to remove accumulations of pus is 

an essential adjunct to the topical therapy. 

This procedure is usually well tolerated by the rabbit under sedation and 

local anaesthetic eye drops. The angle and lengths of standard ophthalmic 

cannula are incorrect for this procedure.

Surgi-Close Skin Staplers 

Needles 

Surgi-Close Skin Staplers 

Over 80% of human surgical wounds involve the use of skin staplers. In 

veterinary surgery less than 10% of surgeries utilise skin staples. The use of 

skin staplers has been limited in veterinary surgery due to the high cost of 

disposable human skin staplers. The use of sutures with needle packs has 

been less expensive to close the skin. The introduction of Surgi-Close 

stapling system addresses the specific needs of the veterinary surgeon. 

Features: 

• Autoclavable stapler-handle that can be re-used 

• Staple cartridges (20/pack) cost less than a pack of needle sutures 

• A huge saving over conventional throw away skin staples 

• Both handle and staples are provided sterile. 

The benefits of using any skin stapler are widely known and 

accepted in human surgery: 

• Better apposition of skin edges with better cosmetic result 

• Less reactivity of stainless steel staples 

• Significantly faster wound closure with staples 

• Ease of learning proper technique 

The Surgi-Close Stapler in Use: 

• Staple cartridges are inserted into the handle 

• After use the handle can be autoclaved for repeated use 

• Staple cartridges are especially designed to reduce jamming 

• Staple length is 5.75mm, a better length for the thickness of animal skin 

versus very thin human skin 

• The 20 staples provided per cartridge are sufficient for a 10cm to 13cm 

incision 

• A closed staple has a square shape that restricts the movement or rolling 

of a staple.

Veterinary Bandage Scissors 

NEW 

Very nice for removal of small awkward sutures. 

The limbs of small animal veterinary patients are typically much smaller 

than their human counterparts. Most bandage scissors are designed for the 

human limb. Veterinary bandage scissors should be lower in profile to get 

between bandage and skin and, for ease of use, need to be slightly 

straighter than standard human bandage scissors. 

Our Veterinary Bandage Scissors meet these requirements and make 

dressing removal much easier.

17 INSTRUMENT CARE 

Instrument Care 

Introduction 

Stainless steel instruments are not made from the same material as bone 

plates and pins. In order to take an edge and be hardened stainless type 

420 has a high carbon content. Instruments will rust and stain under 

adverse conditions. 

With appropriate care your surgical instruments will last a lifetime. The key 

elements are cleaning, lubrication and dry storage. Baked on biological 

residues will cause rusting , breakage and invalidation of warranties. Our 

recommended programme of surgical instrument care is available at the 

following website address: www.vetinst.com/instrumentcare.htm 

Veterinary Instrumentation has a network of specialists who can repair any 

surgical instrument. Send the damaged item to us and we will advise if it is 

worth repairing. 

Routine sharpening and setting of scissors is performed quickly and 

professionally in our own workshop by Len Richardson, instrument maker 

with over 55 years of experience.

UC375 

Used regularly, ultrasonic cleaning will keep your instruments looking good, 

and more importantly, working well. Ultrasonic action can clean out those 

nooks and crannies, including wide box joints, which normal cleaning 

cannot penetrate. Accumulations of blood in instrument joints cause 

corrosion and stiffening. Available in a range of sizes to suit your 

circumstances. 

All units include timer and heater, both of which are essential. We 

recommend the use of Rapidex and Rapizyme as ultrasonic cleaning agents.

Melag Autoclaves 

After a lot of research and discussions with users we have selected the 

MELAG Vakuklav 23-B as representing the best combination of 

specification, ease of use and value. MELAG is a family run concern with 

decades of experience in designing and producing autoclaves. Melag 

autoclaves are backed up by a UK wide network of engineers. For extra 

rapid cycle times consider the Melag Cheeta class autoclave. 

Little Sister type autoclaves are designed to sterilise non wrapped solid 

items on open trays. This type of autoclave is classified as type N and in 

human practice it is not permitted for sterilisation of wrapped instruments 

(even in autoclave bags) or hollow instruments for fear that the steam will 

not fully penetrate. 

To ensure full penetration of steam a vacuum cycle must first remove the 

air from the chamber. Type B autoclaves are the highest specification 

machines and are suitable for the sterilisation of all wrapped or non - 

wrapped, solid, hollow and porous products. In addition the Type B 

autoclaves produce dry packs and instruments, which minimises staining 

and corrosion of instruments. 

In human hospitals it is a requirement that printed records are created and 

kept of each cycle. Now that MRSA infections are also appearing in 

veterinary practice it would seem reasonable that we should do the same. 

Why MELAG 

Conformation - International regulation prEN13060/1-4 categorises 

autoclaves as types N, S and B according to their operational parameters 

and intended applications. All Melag autoclaves conform. 

Independent Validation - Melag Type B autoclaves have been 

independently validated by a leading German University and have exceeded 

the requirements of prEN13060/1-4 for Class B Autoclaves. 

Water Purity - Only the best quality demineralised or sterile water should 

be used to avoid autoclave malfunction and possible long term damage. 

Melag type B machines automatically check water quality before each 

cycle. If the sterilising water contains impurities the autoclave will inform 

the operator and prevent use of the contaminated water. This feature is 

unique to Melag and significantly contributes to Melag’s enviable 

reputation for long term reliability and longevity. 

Water Cycle - Melag type B autoclaves allow the user a choice of either 

one-way or water recirculation. With either system the autoclave will 

inform the user when refilling or draining is required 

Simplicity - Simple push button operation. With its large back lit 

alphanumeric display Melag informs the user of the cycle chosen and 

stages reached within the cycle. 

Comprehensive cycles - The user has a wide choice of cycles for different 

load types. 

Documentation - For security every Melag Type B machine includes a 

printer which comprehensively documents every cycle and sterilizing event. 

Alternatively each Melag B can be supplied with MelaWin software which 

runs unobtrusively in the background. This programme archives every 

cycle. These are available for printing and examination. 

Reliability and longevity - All Melag autoclaves are manufactured from the 

highest quality materials available. Pressure chambers and doors are 

manufactured from stainless steel, pressure lines and pipes from Teflon 

and all other parts in contact with water from bronze. Door seals are 

manufactured from long life silicon. Lifetime chamber guarantee. Melag 

recommended service intervals are 1000 cycles or 2 years whichever is 

shorter.

Melag Cheetah Class Autoclaves 

The new Cheetah Class Autoclave series from Melag 

represents the forefront of Bench Top Autoclave 

technology. With their unique auxiliary wrap around 

second chamber the Cheetah Class effectively minimizes 

NCG’s (Non Condensable Gasses) to a level only 

previously seen in hospital based autoclaves. The result 

in steam quality and cycle times has never before been seen in a 

Bench Top Autoclave. All units Class B compliant. 

The Melag Cheetah Type 43-B operates at an incredible 

cycle time of only 13 minutes for WRAPPED instruments

SHARPENING 

100500 Instrument Sharpening System £395.00 

100510 Instrument Sharpening Workstation £195.00 

Osteotome Sharpening 

All sharpening may be performed using the two basic operations of honing 

and disc. The hone-drive is a reciprocating motion that sharpens in the 

same manner as hand honing. The disk-drive uses a selection flat disks for 

high speed sharpening. A Diamond Plated Disk is supplied for very dull or 

misshapen instruments, rubberized Silicon Carbide Disk for an ultra-fine 

honing finish and a Leather for polishing and razor edges. 

Sharpening Curette 

Osteotomes should be sharpened at the angle indicated. A greater angle 

does not make a clean cut and a reduced angle is too delicate and will 

distort. The diamond card illustrated uses water as a lubricant. 

OSTEOTOME SHARPENING 

012144 Flat Diamond Sharpening Card (fine) £16.30 

Disk Perio and Scissor Guide guarantees precision sharpening of 

curettes and scalers. 

Saves time and money. Just a few seconds per instrument eliminates the 

need for sharpening services. Instrument life increases since only minimal 

metal is removed. Any heat generated will not affect temper of metal. Easy 

to use with specially designed hones for fast sharpening and guides for 

accuracy. Foot pedal leaves both hands free.

Most veterinary autoclaves sterilise cloth drapes unreliably. Packs 

containing materials should be autoclaved using a vacuum autoclave. 

Disposables provide an alternative in that they require no cleaning, 

laundering, folding, packing and autoclaving. 

The cost is no longer prohibitive particularly when bought by the case.

19 ANAESTHESIA & MONITORING 

Anaesthesia & Monitoring 

Stephens Anaesthetic Machine 

The Stephens is still available new and we usually have fully refurbished 

units in stock at a sensible price. The low consumption of volatile and 

oxygen make the Stephens particularly economical. Existing users swear by 

the Stephens. 

The Stephens is a closed circuit anaesthetic machine with the advantages 

of simplicity of operation and very low running costs. Relatively expensive 

new anaesthetic agents such as SEVOFLURANE may be used economically 

with this system. The Stephens is supplied, as illustrated, as a complete 

self-contained unit requiring only a supply of oxygen. We are confident you 

will be impressed by the simplicity and versatility of the system. 

Fluosorber 

The Fluosorber 

absorbs all organic 

volatiles including 

Halothane and 

Isoflurane. The 

absorbed volatile is 

discarded with the 

exhausted Fluosorber 

after an increase in 

weight of 200g. 

The Fluosorber is 

ideal for situations 

where there is no 

convenient outside 

wall. The STEPHENS 

wastes so little 

volatile agent that the 

combination is ideal. 

Fluosorbers are 

cheaper in bulk (6). 

FLUOSORBER 

025510 Fluosorber (Single) £24.21 

025515 Fluosorber (Six Pack) £123.47 

Conventional ‘Tec’ Vapouriser Systems 

Although based on a circle system, the internal resistance to breathing of 

this circuit is very low. This is due to the extremely lightweight valves used 

in the uni-directional assembly. These valves are not spring loaded as is the 

case with many circle systems. Any animal which can be intubated may be 

safely anaesthetised using the Stephens system. Miniature dogs and cats 

do particularly well. 

Circuit dead space is also very low. Fresh gas is available at the "Y" mount. 

Rebreathing is minimal. 

The anaesthetic circuit is of the circle type, with the vapouriser placed 

within the circuit on the inspiratory side. Most anaesthetic systems in use 

in the UK today have the vapouriser out of circuit. A video illustrating the 

use of the Stephens with various species and Isoflurane is available on free 

loan. 

In an apparatus of this type the animal inhales gas from the reservoir bag. 

Some or all of the inhaled gas can be caused to flow over the volatile liquid 

anaesthetic agent contained within the vapouriser. After leaving the 

vapouriser, the gas mixture passes along the inspiratory side of the circle to 

a mask or endotracheal tube and then to the animal's lungs. On exhalation 

the gas is directed along the expiratory side of the circle, through the two 

soda lime canisters and then into the reservoir bag by means of a set of 

unidirectional valves. 

We are able to maintain any Stephens. 

REFURBISHED STEPHENS

025400A Refurbished Stephens £999.00 

025410 Floor Stand 

Wall Arm £276.46 

Anaesthetic machines using calibrated "TEC" type vapourisers deliver into 

the circuit a gas mixture containing a specified percentage of volatile. In 

non-rebreathing circuits the patient will breathe this exact mixture. In 

circuits where some rebreathing occurs, the gas mix will not be the same as 

dialed on the vapouriser. 

Veterinary Instrumentation's vapourisers are serviced 

and re-calibrated prior to sale.

Twin Gas/Twin Vapouriser Anaesthetic Machines 

Changes in the way the 

NHS funds hospitals has 

NEW 

led to a large number of 

very good anaesthetic units 

becoming available at 

bargain prices. We have 

selected the best, some 

new, some used. All the 

machines are thoroughly 

checked by trained 

technicians and have brand 

new gas lines fitted. All will 

work with piped gas or 

bottled gas. All will take up 

to two vapourisers via a 

quick release Selectetec 

fitting. Some have 

ventilators and circle 

absorbers already fitted. 

All are much better than 

new so called veterinary 

units. 

View our website www.vetinst.com for pre-owned bargains and 

specifications of machines currently available or phone 0845 130 9596 

and speak to John Lapish. 

iM3 Masks 

iM3 masks are designed for rapid induction of anaesthesia with a minimum 

of fuss and minimum pollution. They all have the following features. 

• Very low dead space, important when masking down using circle systems 

• Removeable rubber diaphragm which minimises gas leaks and permits 

cleaning. 

• Made from virtually indestructable pvc which will not degrade like the 

latex rubber type. 

• Clear plastic allows visualisation of patient’s muzzle. 

• Buy a full set (5) and get a free resuscitation bag, small - see page 194.

A trained nurse and a re-breathing bag is perhaps the ideal ventilator for 

most veterinary practice. However, hospital standards are now demanding 

mechanical ventilators. We try to keep at least one ex-hospital ventilator in 

stock which offers a very high specification at a reasonable price. 

Exact models and specifications vary so please phone for details.

Laryngoscopes 

Resuscitation Bag 

Intubation of certain breeds of certain species can be very 

difficult without the appropriate laryngoscope. Deflection of 

soft tissues and a light source makes life very much easier. In a 

crisis e.g. a blue brachycephalic, the appropriate laryngoscope 

will be a life saver. Veterinary Instrumentation recommends 

Miller blades. Our fibre optic system uses a remote single bulb 

producing a cold light at the blade tip. 

For emergency artificial respiration. The device is ideal for administering 

either pure oxygen or room air to oxygen deprived patients. A special valve 

allows lung inflation on compression of the bag and passive exhalation of 

CO2 whilst fresh air refills the bag. Can be used with a standard 

endotracheal tube or an airtight mask.

Feline Breathe Easy-Inhalant Delivery 

NEW 

Monitoring 

Increasing sophistication of monitors leads nurses to monitor the 

instruments rather than the patient. Simple respiratory monitoring plus a 

competent nurse offers the most reliable patient monitoring. Veterinary 

Instrumentation offers two simple monitors to fulfill this role. 

Apalert Respiration Monitor 

Feline asthma is increasingly recognised in small animal practice. Existing 

treatments include oral corticosteroids and bronchodilators. These regimes 

are far from ideal due to side effects or poor owner compliance. 

Metered Dose Inhalers (MDI) have been the treatment of choice for human 

asthmatics for many years. Inhaled medication has been shown to be more 

effective with fewer side effects. It is now possible to use these agents in 

cats with our unique aerosol chamber designed for cats. The chamber 

works with standard human MDIs and works well with the small tidal 

volume of feline patients. Patients quickly accept the system. 

The kit comes complete with two masks. Chamber is 11cm x 4.5cm, 

(4.5” x 1.75”) 

Respiratory arrest almost always precedes cardiac arrest in an anaesthetic 

emergency. Prompt action at the point of respiration failure will usually save 

the patient. The APALERT is: 

• Reliable. It beeps at each breath and the display shows the interval since 

the last breath. 

• Rechargeable approx 70hrs use. You can still use it as it recharges. 

• Adjustable by beep volume and sensitivity 

• Alarming. The alarm gets louder if you ignore it. The alarm can be reset by 

the surgeon using magic eye facility without compromising sterility. 

This unit saves lives with a minimum of fuss.

FELINE BREATHE EASY 

025700 Feline Breathe Easy Kit £20.00 

This tiny monitor is a simple apnea alert monitor. The microprocessor 

beeps with every breath. 

• Highly sensitive. 

• Easy to use - just connect between the endotracheal tube 

and anaesthesia circuit. 

• No adjustments. A sophisticated alogorithm will recognise and indicate 

with a beep every breath from a kitten to St Bernard. 

• Apnea Alert. If your patient fails to breathe for 45 seconds a distinctive 

apnea alert will sound. 

• Auto shut off. 

• High density long-life lithium battery will last for years. 

A simple life saver.

Doppler Ultrasonic Blood Flow Monitor 

Medifusion MP-1000 

Non-invasive blood pressure monitoring. Hypertension is often overlooked 

during diagnosis, treatment and routine physical examinations in small 

animals. In addition many hypotensive patients, such as those suffering from 

shock, benefit greatly from Doppler measurement of blood pressure when 

knowing the pressure can mean effective and timely treatment. 

Combining Doppler with an appropriate sized 'cuff' for small animals, 

provides the veterinarian with the same non-invasive method for testing 

blood pressure as is available in human medicine. A small probe is placed 

over a peripheral artery (e.g digital or coccygeal). An ultrasonic crystal in the 

probe transmits pulse wave sound back to the amplifier. The pressure cuff 

is inflated until the pulse sound is no longer audible. The cuff is slowly 

deflated, using the manometer, until pulse sounds are audible once more, at 

which point the manometer displays a numeric value of the animal's systolic 

pressure. 

Lightweight hand-held unit; high quality, vet spec sphygmomanometer. 

Comes complete with 2 cuffs (2.5cm and 5.0cm). Runs on 9 volt battery. 

Complete with headset and carrying case. All consumables are available.

The Video Diagnostic System is a new generation of endoscopic video 

camera system. Both video camera and cold light source are combined 

within one unit. Similarly, both cold light and camera electronics are 

integrated into one cable. The camera head is fitted with the TWIN Lock 

connection which allows the use of multiple diagnostic heads, including: 

• Otoscope 

• Vaginoscope 

• Gastroscopes and endoscopes 

• Rigid endoscopes 

• Dentalscope 

Examination of the ears of dogs and cats is part of the daily routine in small 

animal practice. Owner and surgeon can view the same monitor screen, the 

explanation of clinical findings is made very much easier. At any time it is 

possible to introduce a biopsy or a grasping forceps through the working 

channel. 

Mutual, real time observation (with freeze frame option) of the ear canal 

can demonstrate to the owner a serious problem not normally visible . Poor 

owner compliance is recognised as a common reason for treatment failure. 

Viewing the problem together leads to much more committment by the 

owner. 

Cleaning and disinfection is much more convenient and faster, compared 

with conventional otoscopes.

Electrosurgery 

Electrosurgery BiPolar 


HF 122 is a complete innovation in the electrosurgery field. It is a high 

frequency-electronic scalpel suitable for microcoagulation, small and 

medium MonoPolar surgery and BiPolar coagulation. The following 

MonoPolar modes of operation are available via the control panel: pure 

cutting (CUT), coagulated cutting (COAG), MonoPolar coagulation and 

microcoagulation (BLEND). Additionally with BiPolar forceps, bipolar 

coagulation and microcoagulation are available. 

Safety Alarm 

Open Circuit (OC) Alarm warns the user that connection into the neutral 

plate has not been made or that the cable is disconnected. The alarm is 

signalled with an intermittent beep together with a flashing red light on the 

front panel. In this condition HF emission for cut and coagulation operation 

is switched off. Meets all EC standards for this type of equipment 

Overheat Alarm 

Should the final module in the HF generator overheat, the unit incorporates 

an internal circuit protection which cuts off operation. In this condition the 

red OVH warning light illuminates and the user must wait until the 

generator cools down, about 20 sec, before recommencing. The module 

will not go into protection mode as long as the instruction for operation as 

described in the manual are followed. 

Kit includes: 

• Two button MonoPolar handle 

• Foot control 

• Flat neutral plate 

• 6 short MonoPolar electrodes 

• BiPolar cable and forceps

ANIMAL STRETCHER 

02742 Animal Stretcher £65.00 

Soft Carry Stretcher 

The use of water treadmills and/or swimming as non weight bearing 

exercise are becoming increasingly popular in canine rehabilitation. 

Necessary precautions should include the use of a quality life preserver 

with the means of rapid removal from the water. 

The Float Coat has a durable nylon shell with an ergonomic fit. The coat 

has high buoyancy and a low profile assistance handle. The handle and coat 

are strong enough to support and lift the dog from the water. Secured by 

quick release buckles the Float Coat is supplied in yellow and black. Also 

useful for dogs who love the water but are not as strong a swimmer as they 

used to be.

Identification rings placed on show rabbits can occlude the venous return 

from the distal hind limb with disastrous results. Removal of the ring 

without causing additional damage and pain to the limb is very difficult 

without these purpose designed cutters. Once the notched jaws are 

engaged on the ring, firm pressure may be applied to cut the ring without 

fear of the ring "flipping over". Also functions as a general purpose canine 

nail cutter.

Books 

The limited availability of cadaver training programs means that basic 

orthopaedic techniques must be practiced on plastic bones. Our plastic 

bones simulate the real thing as closely as possible in that they have 

cortices and medullary cavities.
