Welcome<br />
..to the 2007 edition of the <strong>Veterinary</strong> <strong>Instrumentation</strong><br />
catalogue.<br />
The cover illustrates the use of a <strong>Veterinary</strong> <strong>Instrumentation</strong> custom made hybrid plate in the<br />
management of osteosarcoma in the radius of an Irish Wolfhound. I am grateful to Martin Owen<br />
and Andy Moores, who carried out the procedure, for the use of the photograph. Hybrid in this<br />
context means smaller screw holes distally than proximally. We now carry a large range of ‘off the<br />
shelf’ hybrid plates for both pancarpal and pantarsal arthrodesis. Please see inside the back cover<br />
for profiles of the available plates.<br />
Management of canine cruciate deficient stifle remains the most common orthopaedic procedure<br />
in veterinary surgery. We are still no closer to the ‘answer’. Clearly genetics has a major role. In<br />
cases of degenerative cruciate disease, most specialists are performing a tibial plateau geometry<br />
altering technique. TPLO is still the most common technique but TTA and TTO are becoming more<br />
widespread. The requirement to bring the tibial plateau to sit at right angles to the straight patella<br />
ligament to reduce the shear forces within the stifle seems to be gaining acceptance.<br />
<strong>Veterinary</strong> <strong>Instrumentation</strong> remains happy to support whichever procedure you favour with both<br />
instruments and implants. There are a number of new additions to our cruciate repair range.<br />
We have added several more options to the external fixation range which are interesting,<br />
particularly for very small and and very large patients.<br />

The Company<br />
<strong>Veterinary</strong> <strong>Instrumentation</strong> was founded by John Lapish BSc., BVetMed.,<br />
MRCVS. in 1986. Working in Sheffield as a small animal orthopaedic<br />
surgeon John was frustrated by the lack of appropriate instrumentation for<br />
veterinary surgical procedures. Most of the available instruments at that<br />
time were simply the smaller variants of products designed for use in<br />
human surgery. Living in Sheffield, centre of the UK Surgical Trades, John<br />
was ideally placed to try and develop one or two ideas of his own. So,<br />
working with skilled local instrument makers, John began to develop a<br />
range of instruments (initially for his own use) designed specifically for<br />
veterinary surgery. Requests for these products and suggestions for new<br />
items began to trickle in from colleagues and this reinforced the conclusion<br />
that a need existed for a specialist instrumentation service to meet the<br />
needs of the profession, and small animal <strong>orthopaedics</strong> in particular.<br />
Today the <strong>Veterinary</strong> <strong>Instrumentation</strong> range of implants and instruments<br />
includes over 3,000 items which are stocked for immediate despatch.<br />
Innovation remains a key part of our activity and John works with leading<br />
veterinary specialists from all over the world to turn new ideas into practical<br />
working instruments.<br />
Our products have the professional backup of veterinary and nursing<br />
personnel to advise on the selection and use of both instruments and<br />
implants. We are always happy to discuss any aspect of instrumentation<br />
and can help locate almost any item.<br />
Today the technology involved in producing our products ranges from the<br />
traditional skills of Sheffield craftsman Len Richardson, (an instrument<br />
maker with over 55 years experience who helped develop the first items in<br />
the range including the excision arthroplasty rasp and the trochlea rasp) to<br />
the ultra-modern. Len uses his extensive experience and hand-eye<br />
co-ordination to create runs of 100 identical instruments. He continues to<br />
help develop new items and oversees our instrument repair service. By<br />
contrast at the other end of the spectrum, all our implants are made by<br />
state of the art computer controlled machinery designed to meet the same<br />
exacting specifications as their human equivalents. We think we benefit<br />
from the best of both worlds, old and new.<br />

Adjustable Bone Saw<br />
Useful for many bone procedures, this saw comes complete with five, fine<br />
chrome plated blades. Blade length is adjustable from 40 mm to 100 mm.<br />
Procedures include trochleaplasty, tibial crest transplants, amputations,<br />
trochanteric osteotomy and excision arthroplasty. Also useful for splitting<br />
multi-rooted teeth prior to extraction.<br />
ADJUSTABLE BONE SAW<br />
001000 Adjustable Bone Saw c/w 5 fine blades £43.56<br />
001001 Spare Fine Blades. Pack of 5 chrome plated £8.87<br />
Rhinotomy / Plaster Saw Blade<br />

Hard Backed Orthopaedic Saw<br />
Gigli Saw<br />
140mm long 23mm deep<br />
0.4mm cut.<br />
In the style of the XACTO saw blade but is stiffer<br />
and has slightly bigger teeth, more suitable for<br />
bone. It is made from stainless steel and can be<br />
autoclaved. The stiff back helps to guide the saw<br />
compared with hack saw type blades which<br />
often deviate.<br />
Use for wedge sulcoplasty and osteotomies up<br />
to 23mm deep.<br />
HARD BACKED ORTHOPAEDIC SAW (stainless)<br />
001004 Orthopaedic Hard Back Saw<br />
0.4mm cut. Stainless steel £23.60<br />
This is a curved stainless blade with a radius of 15mm. Useful for rhinotomy,<br />
plaster cutting and osteotomies where access is limited, eg. radius, ulna and<br />
ilium during a TPO.<br />
RHINOTOMY/PLASTER SAW BLADE<br />
001003 Rhinotomy/Plaster Saw Blade (single) £8.87<br />
Coarse Stainless Blade<br />
Very useful for larger patients. The tooth pitch is 15 teeth per inch. This<br />
blade does not clog easily. Also useful for trochleaplasty.<br />
COARSE STAINLESS BLADE<br />
001002 Coarse Stainless Blades (single) £8.87<br />
Essentially a bone cutting wire. More useful in large dogs. Hard to persuade<br />
the saw to cut where you want it to. Can be threaded through holes to make<br />
inaccessible cuts. E.g. ulna osteotomies.<br />
GIGLI SAW<br />
001515 Gigli Saw Handles (pair) £25.60<br />
001516 Gigli Saw 30cm £4.83<br />
001517 Gigli Saw 50cm £5.50<br />
Excision Arthroplasty Rasp<br />
X-Acto Saw<br />
Although not stainless, this hard backed fine saw is ideal for wedge<br />
trochleaplasty. Provided the blade is kept absolutely dry, apart from the<br />
actual procedure, you will get several procedures from it before it needs<br />
replacing. Handle is aluminium. Consider also the Hard Backed<br />
Orthopaedic Saw (001004).<br />
X-ACTO SAW<br />
XACTOB/H Xacto Saw Complete £15.02<br />
XACTOHANDLE Xacto Saw Handle only £9.50<br />
XACTOBLADE Xacto Saw Blade 0.3mm cut £6.52<br />
XACTOSTERILE Xacto Saw Blade Sterile 0.3mm cut £10.59<br />
Designed specifically to remove any bone spurs following excision<br />
arthroplasty. Failure to remove bone spurs is the most common cause of<br />
problems with this procedure. Teeth cut on the back stroke.<br />
EXCISION ARTHROPLASTY RASP<br />
001010 Excision Arthroplasty Rasp £36.21<br />
Rectangular Sulcoplasty Instruments<br />
NEW<br />
A rectangular sulcoplasty retains the maximum articular cartilage.<br />
Creation of the sulcoplasty can be a challenge in that most osteotomes<br />
are too thick and the block tends to break up. Our super slim 8mm<br />
osteotome minimises breakup. The rectangular rasp is designed to tidy<br />
up the corners of the sulcoplasty to maximise ‘fit’.<br />

Trochlea Rasp<br />
A deceptively useful instrument, this style of Hohman is useful in:<br />
1. retraction of facia lata during CCL repair<br />
2. elevation of femoral head and neck<br />
3. muscle retraction during many joint and fracture procedures.<br />
If you intend to buy just one Hohman, the one you need is 001041, 18 mm<br />
with a short tip. This is usually the one described in texts as ‘Hohman’.<br />
HOHMAN RETRACTORS with short tip<br />
001041 Hohman Retractor 18mm Short Narrow Tip £33.99<br />
001042 Hohman Retractor 12mm Short Narrow Tip £33.99<br />
Designed for deepening the trochlea<br />
groove, the trochlea rasp has a range of<br />
diameters to suit breeds from<br />
chihuahuas to bull terriers. For larger<br />
breeds perform a wedge trochleaplasty<br />
using a hard backed saw. An accurately<br />
contoured trochlea is essential for a<br />
successful trochleaplasty. Articular<br />
cartilage is removed to be replaced by fibrocartilage.<br />
TROCHLEA RASP<br />
001020 Trochlea Rasp £36.21<br />
OCD Curette<br />
Hohman Retractor with long broad tip<br />
001043<br />

001030 O.C.D. Curette £29.92<br />
001032 O.C.D. Curette Small £29.92<br />
The 48 mm Hohman is very useful in the large dog for elevation of the<br />
femoral head and neck for excision or toggle. The 24 mm is designed to<br />
retract muscles during plating and cerclage procedures.<br />

Joint Surgery<br />
Curved Graft Passer<br />
Manipulation of small bone fragments during repair requires careful<br />
retraction of soft tissues to minimise devascularisation. The blade of the<br />
Hohman retracts the soft tissue as the tip effectively elevates and exposes<br />
the bone fragment.<br />
Exact anatomical repair of the bones will not result in satisfactory healing<br />
without adequate blood supply.<br />
Mini Hohmans allow delicate, precise retraction of the vital soft tissues,<br />
allowing placement of screws or wires.<br />
An assistant to hold these instruments is a distinct advantage.<br />

The repair of the cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) by the 'Over the Top'<br />
technique requires a curved graft passer to pull the graft through the stifle<br />
joint. This design of graft passer has been developed over many years to:<br />
1. minimise damage to intra - articular structures<br />
2. feel right in use. The handle is comfortable<br />
3. for graft insertion anterior to posterior or vice versa.<br />
This design is used by most recognised orthopaedic surgeons. Please see<br />
our free CD rom ‘Surgical Management of Canine Cranial Cruciate Disease’<br />
for details and video of the technique.<br />
The small eyed graft passers are appropriate for placement of lateral suture<br />
wire or monofilament nylon as described by M. L. Olmstead.<br />

The use of monofilament nylon as a lateral suture is accepted as a method of<br />
repair of the cranial cruciate ligament (CCL). Heavy gauge monofilament<br />
nylon (100lb, 80lb and 50lb breaking strain) is difficult to tie without making<br />
a large knot, which tends to stretch and irritate the soft tissues causing pain<br />
and seromas. In addition it is difficult to sterilise. Autoclaving reduces the<br />
strength and increases the elasticity of nylon. <strong>Veterinary</strong> <strong>Instrumentation</strong>'s<br />
Lateral Suture System uses nylon sterilized by Ethylene Oxide together with<br />
a crimp tube, a method of joining the nylon already well established in other<br />
industries. For procedure details see www.k9ccl.com or request our free<br />
CD rom ‘Surgical Management of Canine Cranial Cruciate Disease’.<br />
Some CCL deficient patients benefit from the use of double sutures. This is<br />
particularly true of very large dogs and 100lb line. Passing a second needle<br />
behind the fabella risks damaging both the first line and the peri-fabellar<br />
structures which ultimately will hold the nylon sutures. Double line, swaged<br />
on sutures allows the placement of two lines with one pass of the needle.<br />
Available as single sterile pack. The double line is available swaged on as a<br />
loop without crimps and will, therefore, be of interest to those surgeons<br />
using the self-locking McKee/Miller knot (VCOT 1999;12:78-80).<br />

<strong>Veterinary</strong> <strong>Instrumentation</strong> is very pleased to have been appointed UK<br />
distributor for Arthrex joint surgery products. Arthrex are leaders in the<br />
field of Human joint surgery and arthroscopy and have some very<br />
innovative products such as FiberWire offering significant benefits to the<br />
veterinary surgeon.<br />
FiberWire<br />
NEW<br />
FiberWire is a new composite material consisting of a multi-stranded<br />
long chain ultra high molecular weight polyethylene core with a polyester<br />
braided jacket. Compared to monofilament nylon, FiberWire is stronger,<br />
and does not stretch. In addition and very importantly FiberWire has<br />
much better wear characteristics. Most lateral suture loops fail by abrasion,<br />
usually at the fabella. Use of FibreWire extends the working life of the<br />
lateral suture. FiberWire is five times more rsistant to abrasion than<br />
standard polyester suture. FiberWire ties very well with a creep free soft<br />
knot which again compares very well with nylon.<br />

Loop Tension Devices<br />
Prior to crimping it is suggested that the loop be tensioned sufficiently to<br />
eliminate the anterior draw, but not enough to create an outward rotation.<br />
This may be achieved by a number of methods:<br />
a) Partial crimp - see video, does not require additional instrumentation.<br />
b) Simple tension device requiring a pair of gelpis 091132<br />
c) A dedicated loop tensioner 091132A<br />
CCL Tensioning Device<br />
091132 - Tensioning Device<br />
(gelpis not included)<br />
A special FiberWire lateral suture has been developed by Arthrex in<br />
conjunction with James L. Cook, DVM, PhD, at the Comparative<br />
Orthopaedic Laboratory, University of Missouri, consisting of a swaged on<br />
curved needle for fabella placement and a straight needle at the other end<br />
for easy passage through the proximal tibia. The #5 FiberWire (7 metric)<br />
is for use in dogs 15kg to 50kg. A #2 FiberWire will be available shortly.<br />
A step by step guide on how to use the new suture can be viewed or<br />

Bone Tunnel Borer<br />
Bone tunnels are required in many procedures, e.g. tension wire banding,<br />
hip toggling and embrocation techniques. The bone tunnel borer is a simple<br />
hand instrument which causes minimal soft tissue damage and minimal fuss<br />
in setting up compared with orthopaedic drills. Can be used to pre-drill for<br />
screws and suture screws.<br />
Dedicated crimping forceps are required to avoid over-crimping or<br />
under-crimping, both of which will lead to early implant failure.<br />

The tibial plateau levelling operation (TPLO) alters the anatomy of the stifle<br />
to moderate the effect of the loss of the cranial cruciate ligament (CCL).<br />
The stifle remains unstable to manipulation but is stable as the dog bears<br />
weight. It is claimed that following TPLO, degenerative joint disease<br />
changes are minimal compared with other CCL procedures. These plates<br />
are widely used to repair the tibia following removal of the bone wedge. The<br />
shaft holes are compression. The holes in the head are round but large to<br />
give a good range of screw angle. Particularly useful in large dogs and dogs<br />
with tibial plateau deformation. See page 231 for TPLO plate profiles. Our<br />
free CD rom illustrates and describes the technique.<br />
WEDGE ANGLE FINDER OVERLAY - FREE<br />
A simple acetate overlay to help you calculate the tibial plateau angle, from<br />
which you can easily calculate the size of the wedge to remove. Includes<br />
lines to indicate the normal tibial plateau angle and a 5º line which is<br />
regarded as the most appropriate post-op angle. Also included on the<br />

Some instrumentation is required to make the procedure easier and to<br />

Based on the work of Slocum, Tepic and Montavon, the Triple Tibial<br />
Osteotomy has been developed by Dr Warrick Bruce to overcome some of<br />
the problems encountered in the Slocum TPLO technique, the Montavon<br />
TTA (Tibial Tubercle Advancement) and the closing wedge TPLO<br />
technique.<br />
The technique uses the well established range of closing wedge<br />
osteotomy plates.<br />
Triple Tibial Osteotomy<br />
90º<br />
Some of the problems include:-<br />
Work by Tepic suggests that the tibial plateau should be perpendicular to<br />
the patella ligament to minimise shear strain at the CrCL. The Slocum<br />
technique does not always address this issue.<br />
The bi-radial Slocum blade is inefficient and difficult to resharpen resulting<br />
in the generation of significant amounts of heat which leads to delayed<br />
healing and other complications.<br />
The Montavon TTA technique creates a large defect in the cranial tibia<br />
which requires an expensive titanium cage and plate to prevent collapse<br />
during the healing phase.<br />
The closing wedge TPLO shortens the tibia and creates a defect in the tibia<br />
which has to be protected from the pull of the straight patella ligament by a<br />
figure of eight wire.<br />
Osteometer and Saw guide<br />
The TTO technique deals with all of these problems:-<br />
A long osteotomy is made in the tibial crest to allow the tibial tubercle to<br />
move forward. The angle correction is made by making a small wedge<br />
osteotomy in the caudal tibia which when closed creates a small tibial<br />
tubercle advancement. A free instructional DVD is available which fully<br />
describes and explains the procedure through video, stills and text files.<br />
The DVD also includes an instrument check list.<br />

While we are allowed to use our judgement regarding implants it would be<br />
relatively hard to defend the use of a non–standard implant should<br />
anything go wrong.<br />
In view of the above we have produced a Slocum style plate, machined<br />
from 316LVM. The only clear advantage of the cast Slocum plate was its<br />
malleability. Our plate has been modified in the head region to make<br />
contouring easier, while retaining the stiffness of 316LVM elsewhere for<br />
stability and rapid healing. The lower profile makes closure easier.<br />

NEW<br />
Use of locking screws offers an internal/external fixation construct across<br />
the osteotomy site. The plate is attached to the screw and the screw is<br />
attached to the bone. Rigidity does not depend on the plate being trapped<br />
between screw head and bone as in non-locking plates.<br />
Our new plate is osteotomy centered and maximises the interface around<br />
the osteotomy circumference. A novel angled DCP hole distally allows for<br />
additional compression of the cranial osteotomy if necessary<br />
Plates are supplied pre-contoured to minimise the risk of screw hole<br />
distortion and stress riser marks. A dedicated drill guide is, however,<br />
necessary to place the pilot hole exactly at the correct angle to the plate.<br />
Holes accept both standard cortical screws and locking screws.<br />

Calvin Cadmus from Oakland California, as an early Slocum user,<br />
recognised that when the TPLO osteotomy was centred along the long axis<br />
of the tibia several advantages were seen over non-centred osteotomies.<br />
1) Increased accuracy in achieving the desired<br />
post-op tibial plateau angle.<br />
2) Significantly fewer tibial tubercle fractures.<br />
3) Elimination of undesirable angular deformities (genu valgum).<br />
4) Decrease in proximal screw pull out.<br />
5) Lower long term DJD.<br />
Calvin has designed a template to ensure that your osteotomy is centred on<br />
the long axis, and a range of plates which stabilise the osteotomy along the<br />
long axis of the tibia.<br />

Accurate placement of the screws in the head is facilitated by use of a<br />
dedicated load and neutral guide which places the pilot hole away from the<br />
osteotomy. As the screw is tightened into the hole there is a compressing<br />
movement of the screw and bone. The spherical head of the screw then<br />
locks into the round hole giving secure full circumferential contact unlike a<br />
standard DCP hole. It is easy to create a single compressing movement<br />
around the arc of the osteotomy using round holes with the added bonus of<br />
extra screw security.<br />

Tibial Tuberosity<br />
Advancement (TTA)<br />
NEW<br />
The TTA procedure developed by Tepic and Montavon is designed to bring<br />
the tibial plateau to sit at 90 degrees with the straight patella ligament. This<br />
effectively neutralises the shear forces within the stifle, under loading,<br />
making the stifle stable.<br />
This is acheived by advancing the tibial tubercle and stabilising the created<br />
defect using a titanium cage and plate. The cage is selected for both<br />
thickness and width. The implants are secured using titanium screws.<br />
Titantium is very osteoconductive resulting in rapid healing. The use of<br />
stainless steel implants is not recommended.<br />

Examination and management of meniscal injuries is made extremely<br />
difficult by the limited access to the medial meniscus during routine<br />
approaches. Exposure of the medial meniscus is typically achieved by either<br />
use of a stifle distractor or by a Hohman retractor. Hohman retractors are<br />
not designed for levering against articular cartilage in that the blade does<br />
not ‘fit’ the trochlea. The stifle lever is designed to substitute the Hohman.<br />
The caudal surface of the stifle lever is contoured to fit the trochlea of large<br />
dogs. The load is dissipated over a large area minimising trauma. The ring<br />
style handle is convenient for retraction by the surgeon using the thumb.<br />
The tip atraumatically hooks behind the caudal aspect of the tibial plateau.<br />

Fat Pad Retractor<br />
Visualisation of the medial meniscus is maximised by retraction of the fat<br />

retractor. The fat pad retractor has the same clawed foot but has a much<br />
more practical means of holding the instrument.<br />

Visualisation of the caudal horns of the meniscus can be a challenge. Often<br />
the process of exposing the caudal horn can result in distortions. A normal<br />
meniscus can look damaged and occasionally a bucket handle tear can sit<br />
back and look normal. It is helpful to gently probe the meniscus to establish<br />
its true condition. Dimensions refer to length of tip. Use 1mm in dogs<br />

Damage to the medial meniscus is commonly associated with rupture of the<br />
Cranial Cruciate Ligament (C.C.L.). It is most frequently found in larger dogs<br />
with a longstanding injury. Failure to deal with meniscal damage is a serious<br />
omission in C.C.L. repair. Exposure of the medial meniscus for examination<br />
and repair is extremely difficult. For further information see our web site or<br />

NEW<br />
The stifle distractor is designed to separate the femoral component of the<br />
stifle from the tibia. Ideally the two joint surfaces should move away from<br />
each other in a parallel fashion so that the meniscus is exposed in its<br />
natural state and minimally distorted by the examination. One tip is placed<br />
in the intercondylar notch and the other on the cranial intercondylar area.<br />
Neither tip should involve articular cartilage. Test distractions (by squeezing<br />
the handles) will allow the surgeon to find the exact point at which a full<br />
distraction will expose the medial (usually) meniscus. The spin lock is then<br />
engaged to powerfully open up the stifle joint. The distractor is<br />
self-retaining leaving the surgeon with two free hands to examine the<br />
meniscus and deal with any pathology.<br />
When closed the tips overlap making the points atraumatic as they enter<br />
the joint. Additionally the overlapping feature reduces the profile of the tips<br />
as they enter the joint.<br />
Money-back guarantee! If this instrument is not an improvement on<br />
whatever you are currently using, we will give you a full refund.<br />
The working tips of our spinlock stifle distractors are just the same as the<br />
ratchet version. The spin lock offers a more secure distraction as it is<br />
impossible for the distractor to slip. In addition the spin lock variant allows<br />
the surgeon to ‘crank’ open the joint is the manner of the larger versions of<br />
this instrument. Many of our Gelpi self retaining retractors are also available<br />
with a spinlock. See page 44.<br />

Plate Bending Pliers<br />
The principle of the OATS system is the harvesting of a graft of bone plus<br />
articular cartilage from a non-weight bearing area and placing the graft into<br />
a recipient site where the diseased or damaged cartilage has been<br />
removed.<br />
The small joint set is designed as a sterile single use set which facilitates<br />
the identification, recipient socket preparation, and donor harvesting of a<br />
cylindrical osteochondral graft. The recipient socket is prepared with a<br />
guide pin and cannulated drill bit (matched to the donor harvester for an<br />
anatomic press fit).<br />
The set includes a ruler, cannulated drill bit, dual-sided alignment rod,<br />
donor harvester, clear graft delivery tube, oversized tamp, core extruder for<br />
controlled push in insertion , and an optional graft driver for tap-in<br />
insertion. Also included is a core extractor for removal and revision or<br />
replacement of the graft.<br />
Available in 6, 8 & 10mm diameters.<br />
Other applications:<br />
Work by Noel Fitzpatrick suggests that placing a bone core(harvested by<br />
the OATS system) across IOHC lesion together with implant support can<br />
lead to resolution.<br />
These pliers will contour 2.7mm and 3.5mm narrow plates. 3.5 DCPs are at<br />
the absolute limit and will require multiple small bends. Also useful for<br />
bending guide pins in the Slocum TPLO technique. Available elsewhere for<br />

2 ARTHROSCOPY<br />
Introduction<br />
Using fibre optics the arthroscope is able to deliver light and obtain an<br />
image from within the joint thus obviating the need for an extensive surgical<br />
approach and keeping surgical trauma to soft tissues at a minimum.<br />
However, arthroscopy is not a risk free procedure as it involves placing<br />
sharp metal objects into the joint space.<br />
Arthroscopy<br />
Although arthroscopy may be considered expensive in terms of both the<br />
dedicated instrumentation required and the time and money involved in<br />
training, it is recommended that sufficient resources are allocated to<br />
purchase good quality equipment at the outset. (Equipment failures being<br />
very frustrating and ultimately very expensive.)<br />
Dr Fritz, a veterinary surgeon himself, has worked closely with leading<br />
authorities in the field of veterinary arthroscopy (e.g. Van Bree, Van Ryssen<br />
and Lehman) to develop a range of arthroscopic instruments with our<br />
patients in mind.<br />
Arthroscopes<br />
An arthroscope is a rigid endoscope consisting of a system of lenses, which<br />
collects and transmits an image from the tip of the instrument along the<br />
shaft to an eyepiece or camera. A light post close to the eyepiece allows<br />
light to be passed into the shaft and down optic fibres surrounding the lens<br />
system to illuminate the subject area at the tip. An arthroscope may be<br />
defined using four different parameters, 1) diameter, 2) viewing angle,<br />
3) field of view and 4) working length. Arthroscopes for small animal use<br />
are available in three diameters.<br />
The diameter refers to the outside diameter of the unsheathed shaft of the<br />
telescope. Three sizes are commonly used in small animal arthoscopy:<br />
2.7mm, 2.4mm and 1.9mm. Arthroscope technology has improved so<br />
much that optically the new 2.4mm arthroscope is as good as the older<br />
2.7mm version. For this reason we now only offer 2.4mm and 1.9mm<br />
arthroscopes. Patient size and the joint to be investigated will dictate<br />
selection of the arthroscope. The 2.4mm arthroscope is fine for most<br />
procedures but can prove a little large in small elbows. As the diameter of<br />
the arthroscope becomes smaller, there is less space for optical fibres,<br />
which has implications for light transmission and image size. Recent<br />
improvements in construction such as the use of rod lens systems as<br />
opposed to optic fibres has improved the performance of the smaller<br />
arthroscopes. Additionally the smaller arthroscopes are fragile and care<br />
must therefore be exercised to avoid damage in use, cleaning and storage.<br />
The viewing angle is the angle between the lens face and a line drawn at<br />
right angles to the long axis of the arthroscope (see above right).<br />
A 0º scope views straight ahead from the front of the lens, while a 90º<br />
scope sees an image at right angles to the long axis of the scope. Most<br />
veterinary arthroscopes have a viewing angle of 30º, which is a compromise<br />
between field of view and distortion. The user needs to be aware which<br />
way the lens is pointing. The light post is used as a reference point and is<br />
positioned opposite the angle of view. Rotating the scope along its long axis<br />
will allow the surgeon to view a large area within the joint with minimal<br />
repositioning. An oblique viewing angle does offer the surgeon a limited<br />
ability to see ‘around corners’.<br />
Each arthroscope will require a dedicated sheath, which protects the<br />
arthroscope as well as delivering fluid to the tip. Sheaths offering a high<br />
rate of flow are preferable. The sheath reduces the effective working length<br />
of the 1.9mm scope to approx 8.0cm. Conversely, the sheath will increase<br />
the working diameter of the arthroscope. 1.9mm becomes 2.8mm.<br />
Each sheath has a dedicated trochar which, when inserted in place of the<br />
arthroscope prevents blocking of the sheath and is used to create a viewing<br />
portal into the joint. Sheaths are supplied with both blunt and sharp<br />
trochars. Care should be exercised using the sharp trochar when<br />
approaching articular surfaces.<br />
Large image technology means the image virtually fills the monitor screen.<br />
Exposure control of endoscopic video cameras is much easier, even with a<br />
1.9 mm diameter telescope! All scopes are available in soakable and<br />
autoclaveable versions. Autoclaving, especially fine scopes will<br />
significantly reduce the working life of the instrument. We advise use of<br />
the soakable versions.<br />

<strong>Instrumentation</strong><br />
Irrigation and Working Cannulae,<br />
Trochar Changing System designed by VAN BREE<br />
Cannulae and portals: In order to fully examine the joint under<br />
investigation it may be necessary to manipulate some intra articular<br />
structures. The instruments used must be small and be introduced either<br />
directly through the peri-articular soft tissues or via a dedicated cannula.<br />
Where serial insertions and withdrawals or a range of instruments are<br />
required, particularly through multiple layers of soft tissue, a cannula is<br />
preferable to minimize trauma, (trying to re-find a portal can be<br />
frustrating). Sets of cannulae dedicated to the most common joints are now<br />
available. Initially a small diameter cannula is inserted using a trochar, the<br />
portal may then be enlarged by the use of a ‘switching stick’. The stick is<br />
inserted into the joint through the small cannula which is then withdrawn.<br />
Larger cannulae may be slid down the changing stick and introduced into<br />
the joint. Exchanging a small cannula for a larger one can be surprisingly<br />
difficult without such an aid. The system is colour coded for ease of use.<br />

Light Sources<br />
& Cables<br />
Halogen light sources are inexpensive but not as good as the xenon based<br />
systems, which are, unfortunately, significantly more expensive to purchase<br />
and maintain. Xenon light sources have a higher intensity and are essential<br />
if the unit is to be used for laparoscopic work. Thus xenon is preferable but<br />
halogen can be used successfully in most joint investigations. Both xenon<br />
and halogen bulbs have a limited life (xenon typically 500 hours, halogen<br />
typically 2000 hours) and bulb failure is at best embarrassing so always<br />
carry a spare. The light cable carries light from the source to the<br />
arthroscope by fibre optics. Each cable has dedicated connectors to couple<br />
with the light source and the arthroscope. Connections on both light source<br />
and arthroscope vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. Converters are<br />
available for both light source and arthroscope but it is wise, if possible, to<br />
purchase the appropriate cable for the system.<br />

During recent years, as arthroscopy in small animals has developed,<br />
researchers realized the necessity of a specific puncture system to create<br />
an instrument portal in the larger joints. Due to the dense muscle mass in<br />
shoulder joints, creating a puncture for a working cannula is often quite<br />
difficult. If a clean puncture allowing access directly to the joint is not<br />
achieved the first time, the risk of a subsynovial oedema increases greatly,<br />
thus decreasing the time frame to complete the surgery with each failed<br />
puncture. The shoulder puncture system has been specifically designed to<br />
help eliminate this risk. The system allows you to align your arthroscope<br />
accurately in the joint space. Simply attach the puncture system to the<br />
arthroscopic sheaths and maintain your arthroscopic vision in a parallel<br />
direction to the shoulder joint rim. At this point you will find the working<br />
triangulation portal in an ideal position. After a puncture is created with the<br />
desired trochar, simply replace the trochar with a working cannula and start<br />
working with your instruments. Useful for both cranial and caudal<br />
approaches.<br />

2 ARTHROSCOPY<br />
Cameras & Monitors<br />
Direct viewing of the joint through the eyepiece is possible. However,<br />
practicality and the issue of contamination dictate that a camera system is<br />
an essential part of the equipment. Arthroscopic cameras work in a very<br />
similar fashion to video cameras in common usage. The image at the<br />
eyepiece of the arthroscope is focussed on a light responsive electronic<br />
chip(s). The signal created is transferred to a camera controller, which<br />
processes the image into a signal recognized by the monitor and/or<br />
recording system.<br />
Most veterinary cameras have a single chip, which is sufficient for most<br />
users.<br />
The connection of the camera head to the eyepiece of the arthroscope is<br />
also variable. To maximise the choice and longevity of the instrumentation it<br />
is advised that a clip on camera head compatible with DIN standard<br />
eyepieces be selected. The camera heads are fully immersible.<br />

Professional monitors offer a better image than domestic screens as they<br />

Image Capture<br />
Good practice dictates that a record is made of any arthroscopic<br />
procedure. Subsequent investigations can be compared to earlier ones and<br />
images can be shared and compared with colleagues or tutors as part of a<br />
training programme. Domestic video recorders will create a permanent<br />
record of a procedure. However the data is relatively crude and difficult to<br />
manipulate . Still video printers capture an image from a video stream<br />
which can then be printed onto photographic paper.<br />
Digital video and data storage technology now allows the surgeon to record<br />
and store very large amounts of data in a digital format. The digital<br />
information can subsequently be manipulated by appropriate computer<br />
software to create both still and moving images in a variety of formats for<br />
storage or display. If clinical presentations are anticipated then a digital<br />
system is very desirable. Domestic DVD or combined DVD/Hard drive<br />
recorders offer huge storage capacities at reasonable prices.<br />
The data is stored as Digital Video (DV) which can be converted into many<br />
other formats. The major arthroscopy companies offer sophisticated data<br />
storage systems which are able to capture and store still and movie files via<br />
sterile touch screens or camera finger controls. Permanent records are<br />
maintained on DVD discs or computer hard drives.<br />
We usually have some pre-owned Sony video printers in stock.<br />

ARTHROSCOPY 2<br />
Fluid Infusion and<br />
Outflow<br />
Infusion of fluids or gas into the joint is essential to create an environment<br />
in which the arthroscope can view joint structures. The joint must be<br />
expanded and debris removed to maintain a clear field of view.<br />
Peristaltic Infusion<br />
Arthroscopy Infusion Pump<br />
To maintain an appropriate intra-articular pressure (between 40 and<br />
100mm of mercury) (0.053 and 0.133 BAR) fluid inflow and outflow must<br />
be carefully regulated. Fluid under pressure may be obtained by either<br />
gravity feed systems or a pump. Gravity may be sufficient provided the fluid<br />
bags can be lifted high enough but greater, more controllable pressure may<br />
be obtained by use of a fluid compression bag.<br />
The bag of fluid to be infused is placed into a pressure bag, which is<br />
inflated using a hand or machine pump. Without careful monitoring hand<br />
inflation systems offer erratic pressure levels and use of a regulated pump<br />
offers much better control. A carbon dioxide powered pump may be used<br />
to pressurize a compression bag or infuse carbon dioxide directly into the<br />
To create fluid flow through the joint, appropriate fluid outflow or egress<br />
must be maintained. In the smaller joints (elbow, hock and hip), a large<br />
bore hypodermic needle may be sufficient. In the larger joints (shoulder,<br />
stifle) where greater volumes of fluid are involved, dedicated multi<br />
fenestrated egress cannulae may be necessary, the waste fluid may be<br />
collected by either bag systems or suction devices.<br />
Use of direct CO2 infusion is indicated in some inflamed joints where<br />
inflammatory synovial villae obstruct the visual field, the villae being<br />
flattened under gas pressure rather than floating free in infused fluid. In<br />
addition, use of CO2 increases the field of view and image clarity of the<br />
arthroscope. CO2 is usually used intermittently with fluid to allow for<br />
flushing.<br />
NEW<br />
Provided the surgeon is prepared to commit to the purchase of 100 patient<br />
infusion sets per year Arthrex is prepared to offer its Continuous Wave<br />
Arthroscopy Pump (AR-6450) (value £3675) on free loan. This pump has<br />
been in use in the human sector for some 15 years and is very reliable. Line<br />
pressure and flow rate are user defined. This means that the fluid pressure<br />
does not have to be continually monitored and adjusted by nursing staff. In<br />
addition, if the tube pressure is correct, any problems with fluid flow can<br />
be immediately localised to the arthroscope. This is not the case with<br />
inflated cuffs where only the pressure within the bag is known.<br />

Electrocautery<br />
Arthroscopic electrocautery or radiofrequency devices focally create heat<br />
within the tissues to create haemostasis, debridement or to shrink the joint<br />
capsule in selected cases of instability. Long, fine insulated probes are<br />
available which may be powered by standard surgical electrocautery units.<br />
The tips are bathed in fluid at all times but essentially the same processes<br />
occur at the tissue level as in surgical electrosurgery.<br />
Radiofrequency devices create heat by inter-molecular friction. Tips are<br />
available in both monopolar and bipolar formats and may be used to<br />
debride structures such as damaged meniscus or fat pad. Capsular<br />
shrinkage by radiofrequency may be used to tighten joint capsules following<br />
arthroscopy or injury. Radiofrequency ablation dissolves intra-articular<br />
tissues at a relatively low temperature. The resulting debris is removed by<br />
suction. The technique is therefore an alternative to the shaver for removing<br />
soft tissues. At least one manufacturer supplies combined shaver blades<br />
and ablator wands which offer both options on the same intra-articular<br />
device.<br />

the shaver. The shaver is essentially a motorized bur. It may be used to<br />
debride cartilage, bone or soft tissues. A range of tips of different designs<br />
and sizes are available to manage the different tissues. Tips designed for<br />
soft tissues are typically larger and more aggressively toothed. Suction may<br />
be applied to the cutting tip via the hand piece to remove debris. The hand<br />
piece is driven by a control box operated by finger or foot controls. The<br />
speed and direction of cut are selectable. The tips are usually designed to<br />
be disposable, however with careful use, cleaning and re-sterilisation they<br />
may be re-used. Very expensive to buy new, <strong>Veterinary</strong> <strong>Instrumentation</strong><br />
maintains a stock of high quality ex-hospital units for sale.<br />

ARTHROSCOPY 2<br />
Positioning Aids<br />
Manipulation of arthroscopes and instrumentation inside a joint via an<br />
image on a monitor screen can be very demanding. Careful positioning of<br />
the patient and the surgeon is essential.<br />
An operating table, fully adjustable for height and tilt is a prerequisite for<br />
good arthroscopy. Once fully draped, orientation around a canine limb can<br />
be difficult. Full use should be made of channels, ties and sand bags to fix<br />
the overall position of the dog. Sandbags may also be necessary to act as a<br />
fulcrum to open a joint maximally for investigation. e.g., elbow.<br />
To provide multiple fixed positioning during an investigation a multi arm<br />
positioning device is available which when attached between the distal limb<br />
and the table may be locked into an infinite range of positions. An optional<br />
accessory allows the stifle to be accurately positioned for an investigation.<br />
Sterility<br />
Arthroscopes<br />
Distilled water and an enzymatic cleaner are used to remove gross<br />
contamination from arthroscopes, sheaths and trochars. Arthroscopes are<br />
available which can be autoclaved. However, repeated autoclaving of even<br />
these arthroscopes will significantly reduce their working life, this being<br />
particularly true of the smaller sizes. Sterility is more commonly achieved by<br />
soaking in an anti-microbial solution. Historically glutaraldehyde based<br />
solutions were the norm but health and safety concerns have led to the<br />
development of safer chemicals based on oxidation. The manufacturer’s<br />
instructions should be followed carefully. Ethylene oxide, if available, is<br />
another option.<br />
Instruments.<br />
All surgical instruments for intra articular use should be autoclaved.<br />
Forceps and rongeurs should be thoroughly cleaned by ultrasonics.<br />
Irrigation systems will drive debris up into the spring mechanism.<br />

Camera systems<br />
Most cameras used for veterinary arthroscopy cannot be autoclaved but the<br />
head and cable can usually be soaked in the same solution as the<br />
arthroscope. Care should be exercised to avoid contact of the sterilizing<br />
fluid with the electrical contacts at the end of the cable. (Some camera<br />
leads have sealing caps). An assistant outside the sterile area should plug<br />
the camera into the controller prior to use. An alternative is the use of a<br />
sterile disposable camera sleeve to separate the camera head and cable<br />
from the sterile arthroscope eyepiece. Again should ethylene oxide be<br />
available it may be used to sterilise the camera head and cable.<br />

Pointed reduction forceps with spin lock<br />
NEW<br />
Where delicate reduction of fragments is undertaken, ratchet forceps can<br />
be frustrating in that they do not give as much ‘feel’ as is desirable. The<br />
spinlock version is used initially with the spinlock flipped out giving the<br />
surgeon maximum control. Once in place the spinlock is flipped back into<br />
position and then gently tightened.<br />
When lag screwing, it is often the case that the exact point where screw<br />
placement should be performed is occupied by the point of the reduction<br />
forceps. Twin point fragment forceps are designed to give secure fixation of<br />
bone fragments while allowing drilling and screwing between the jaw points.<br />
Especially useful in repairs of the fractures of the humeral condyles and the<br />
small bones distal to the carpus/hock.<br />

Plate Holding Forceps<br />
Some fracture reductions require that the bone forceps jaws be angled from<br />
the handles (see photo). Such forceps require:<br />
1. A sophisticated hinge mechanism to allow the jaws to maintain alignment<br />
as they open and close.<br />
2. A special locking device which can cope with the laxity at the hinge.<br />
The spin lock and the special jaw make the instrument very nice to use but<br />
very expensive.<br />
The veterinary pattern reflects the special requirements of veterinary<br />
anatomy i.e. the handles typically have to stand up from the bone compared<br />
with the human situation where the limbs are effectively cylinders and the<br />
handles can drop away from the bone.<br />

These forceps are designed to maintain plate position through a hole<br />
in the plate. Without fixation, bone plates tend to slip and slide over the<br />
bone surface. The ball, just behind the point of the jaw, locates in the bone<br />
plate causing minimal interference elsewhere in the operation site. Also<br />
useful as reduction forceps in soft, young bone as the balls prevent over<br />
penetration of bone.<br />

Wire Passers<br />
These devices are used to direct orthopaedic cerclage wire around long bones<br />
with minimal trauma. Devascularisation of bone fragments is a serious risk,<br />
particularly where cerclage wire is being applied. Devitalised<br />
bone can turn into a sequestrum. Try to keep as<br />
much soft tissue attachment as<br />
possible. Available as a double<br />
ended instrument or in single<br />
individual sizes.<br />
Cerclage WireTwisters<br />
&Tighteners<br />
Introduction<br />
Cerclage wire can be a very useful means of fragment fixation. However,<br />
inappropriate use can lead to devitalisation and wires are often to be found<br />
in the middle of delayed and non-unions. If the fracture reduction is not<br />
stable it would be better to take the wire out. Multiple wires may stabilise a<br />
situation where a single wire will not. Wires must be tight. Typically one in<br />
five wires will break if you are making the loops tight enough. Cerclage<br />
wire is tightened by either twisting or tensioning a wire loop.<br />
Wire Twister / Shear Cutter - STILL THE BEST BY FAR<br />

Bone plates appropriate for the repair of load bearing long bones are very<br />
stiff. Accurate contouring of plates is essential for precise fracture reduction,<br />
however, MARKING OF PLATES DURING THE BENDING PROCESS WILL<br />
LEAD TO REDUCED FATIGUE STRENGTH. Contoured plates should be<br />
placed with adequate support to minimise cyclical loading. Bone plate<br />
benders used in pairs are the most economic method of plate contouring.<br />

Bone plates suitable for 3.5mm and 4.5mm screws are extremely difficult to<br />

‘K’ Wire / Small Pin Punch<br />
Osteotomes<br />
Light<br />
The cut ends of "K" wires, arthrodesis wires and small pins used for<br />
fragment fixation e.g. distal femoral fractures, should be buried beneath the<br />
bone or articular surface to minimise soft tissue irritation. The tip of the<br />
punch is concave to locate onto the pin end. The other end is struck with a<br />

Chisels<br />
Small wires are commonly used to re-attach bone fragments which have<br />
been produced either by trauma or electively by osteotomy. To minimise<br />
'backing out', the cut ends of "K" wires and arthrodesis wires should either<br />
be buried or bent sharply and cut 5-10mm from the bend. The cut ends<br />
are then rotated to the most comfortable position (see photo). Bending<br />
with fingers or pliers is difficult to control and is very likely to damage the<br />
repair.<br />
The "K" wire/small pin bender is designed to slip over the wire<br />
concentrating all the bending forces at the pin/bone interface. The<br />
instrument is double ended, the small end is for 0.9mm, 1.1mm and 1.4mm<br />
wires, the large end is for 1.6mm & 2.0mm wires.<br />

Thermo Plastic Splinting<br />
Marq-Easy Thermo Plastic Splinting Rectangular Sheets<br />
The wide variety of shapes and sizes of animal patients makes splinting a<br />
challenge. Thermal plastic, widely used in human medicine, is heated in<br />
hot water and moulded to a specific custom shape for the patient. The<br />
thermal plastic material is available in a variety of rectangular- sized flat<br />
sheets. White.<br />
Thera-Paw acts as a reusable bandage with a protective base<br />
• The ultra-cushioned sole alleviates pain, reducing lameness and<br />
promoting more even weight distribution.<br />
• The use of perforated top-sole material and cut-out design allow the paw<br />
to breathe and keeps the injured site free from moisture build-up.<br />
• The rubberized, non-skid base and toe-cap are waterproof, protect the<br />
site from further injury, and provide better traction.<br />
• The vertical closure design runs parallel to the carpal/tarsal bones,<br />
dispersing pressure over a wide area.<br />
• Thera-Paw is easily cleaned by rinsing it under warm water. Mild<br />
detergent may be used. It air dries in under 1 hour, and is ready for<br />
immediate reapplication.<br />
• Thera-Paw is designed to stay in place and to be worn for extended<br />
periods<br />
• The inner vertical seams have been removed to reduce rubbing and<br />
abrasion.<br />
• The material gives with movement and allows proper blood flow.<br />
• The wide-based closure accommodates a variety of foot sizes and<br />
provides a snug fit.<br />
• The front opening and closing mechanism makes it easy to slip<br />
Thera-Paw into place.<br />
• The outer safety strap provides additional security, to ensure that Thera-<br />
Paw stays on even the most active dogs.<br />
• The dual closing mechanism reduces the risk that a dog can remove the<br />
garment.<br />

section). The caudal ring of the harness should sit just behind the scapulae<br />
in the centre of the spine. If the ring is too far back it will limit the<br />
effectiveness of the Biko device. Some harnesses drop the ring too far<br />
caudally e.g. a large harness on a stocky dog.<br />
Measurement ‘A’ is the distance from the ring to the cranial aspect of the<br />
proximal metatarsus.<br />
Measure ‘B’ is the circumference around the foot at the level of the<br />
proximal metatarsus.<br />
Coding . Using the above measurements the product code becomes<br />
BIKOAABB, where AA is measurement A in cms and BB is measurement B<br />
in cms.<br />
Degenerative myelopathy (CDRM) is not uncommon, particularly in the<br />
German Shepherd, Boxer and Pembroke Corgi. It is a difficult condition to<br />
manage either medically or surgically. Whilst the progression of the<br />
degeneration can be delayed by dietary supplements, treatment options are<br />
very limited. Sooner or later the control over the hind limb deteriorates to<br />
the point where walking and particularly turning is difficult. Excoriation of<br />
the toes and dorsal surface of the foot typically follows. Affected dogs are<br />
well in themselves and owners are often highly motivated. Keeping the dog<br />
as active as possible is important to delay progression. The Biko physio<br />
brace has been developed to assist the dog in walking and turning for as<br />
long as possible. The system is based on elastic straps which run from a<br />
chest harness to the hind feet. As the the hind foot reaches the end of the<br />
stride and the weight is transferred to the opposite foot the strap helps to<br />
bring the trailing foot straight forward ready for the next stride thereby<br />
compensating for the loss of muscle tone.<br />
Dogs suffering from nerological deficits, both temporary and permanent,<br />
due to disc pathology will also benefit from the Biko brace.<br />
The brace is simple to apply and is tolerated very well. Dogs resume useful<br />
levels of activity significantly improving the length and the quality of their<br />
lives. The physiotherapy occurs whenever the dog is walking which makes<br />
it more effective than sessional hydrotherapy or physiotherapy. Use of<br />
the Biko brace delays euthanasia or use of a cart. Feedback from owners<br />
is excellent.<br />
For best results the brace should be exactly the correct length. Selection of<br />
the appropriate brace requires that the patient is measured as shown.<br />
Once fitted the programme supplied should be followed closely for best<br />
results. Use of the Biko brace may be combined with other therapies such<br />
as physio or hydrotherapy.<br />
Should scuffing continue we recommend the use of Therapaws<br />
(see page 43)<br />
Measurements and coding<br />
Before the dog can be measured for the Biko device an appropriate harness<br />
must be in position. This may be supplied by the veterinary surgeon or<br />
purchased elsewhere. If there is any difficulty we can supply (see pricing<br />

EXTERNAL FIXATION 4<br />
Introduction<br />
External fixation can offer major advantages over "conventional methods" in<br />
the management of many fractures.<br />
1. Relatively easy to apply.<br />
2. Maintains limb use and joint mobility.<br />
3. Well tolerated by patients.<br />
4. Low cost c.f. plating systems and is largely re-useable.<br />
5. Relatively low risk procedure.<br />
6. Particularly useful in the presence of infection<br />

KE Plus -<br />
'The Second Generation'<br />
KE equipment is a very versatile system which has stood the test of time<br />
and remains the industry standard. However, one major limitation is that<br />
positive threaded pins cannot be inserted through the standard clamp.<br />
Most authorities are recommending the use of at least some positive<br />
threaded pins in any construct.<br />
<strong>Veterinary</strong> <strong>Instrumentation</strong> has developed KE Plus specifically to increase<br />
the range of pins which may be used including positive threaded pins. For<br />
any given size of clamp it is now possible to use both larger and smaller<br />
diameter pins than standard KE systems. KE Plus is fully compatible with<br />
your existing KE set up. KE Plus clamps have a matt finish compared with<br />
the polished standard KE clamps.<br />

This clamp remains the industry standard in veterinary <strong>orthopaedics</strong>. Most<br />
criticisms levelled at KE are usually attributable to pilot error. Used<br />
correctly KE is very effective. Used to attach fixation pin to connecting bar,<br />
the single clamp is the key element of any external fixation frame. Its size<br />
will dictate the size of the fixation pin and the size of the connecting bar.<br />
The greater the diameter of the connecting bar and the greater the number<br />
of connecting bars, the stronger the apparatus.<br />
As a guide, we would suggest small clamps for up to 5kgs, medium clamps<br />
for 5 - 30kgs, and large clamps or multiple medium frames for over 30kgs.<br />
Each clamp will accept a variety of pins. The pin size indicated is the<br />
largest possible. Smaller pins will also work although the fixation is not<br />
quite as rigid. e.g. the proximal radius may need a slightly smaller pin than<br />
the distal radius.<br />

4 EXTERNAL FIXATION<br />
External Fixation<br />
Double Clamps<br />
Extra Large Clamps and Bars<br />
Used to attach a connecting bar to another connecting bar. If possible, the<br />
fixation pins in the proximal fragment should be linked to the pins in the<br />
distal fragment via single clamps and a single connecting bar. This is not<br />
always possible because of the shape of the bones or the angle of<br />
placement of the pins.<br />
It may be necessary to connect the pins in the proximal fragment to a short<br />
connecting bar and the pins in the distal segment to another short<br />
connecting bar. Finally the two short connecting bars are joined by a long<br />
connecting bar using double clamps. The frame is not as rigid as the single<br />
connecting bar frame. Double clamps may be used to connect long bars<br />
proximally and distally, as in type III frames.<br />
DOUBLE CLAMPS<br />

001592 Medium Double Clamp £17.50<br />
001584 Large Double Clamp £19.30<br />
Connecting Bars<br />
Connecting bars are available in 5/16" for large clamps, 3/16" for medium<br />
clamps and 1/8" for small clamps. The thicker the bar, the stronger the<br />
frame. The shorter the bar between bone fragments, the stronger the<br />
frame.<br />
Rigidity is important early in fracture healing. When significant callus is<br />
present, it is often helpful to introduce some slight axial motion by either<br />
removing some pins or moving the clamps further away from the bone. This<br />
is known as staging down or dynamising.<br />
Bars are available in a variety of lengths.<br />

Split Clamp<br />
Occasionally it is necessary to add a pin to a frame to improve stability. If<br />
the pin is required in the middle of a frame it will be necessary to dismantle<br />
the whole frame. The split clamp enables the surgeon to introduce<br />
additional pins without disassembly. When fully loosened the clamp slides<br />
over the connecting bar. Not as secure as a standard single clamp.<br />

Large Linear Fixator (LLF)<br />
NEW<br />
NEW<br />
The small linear fixator is designed for use in the stabilisation of fractures<br />
requiring pins with thread diameters ranging from 1.5mm to 4mm.<br />
The clamps are of two types. The ‘slide on’ type is fed onto the end of the<br />
bar. The ‘hook on’ type may be fitted into the middle of an existing frame.<br />
Each type of clamp is available as two variants, the 4.0mm variant and the<br />
2.5mm variant. The 4.0mm variant is used to connect bars to each other<br />
and for pin thread diameters 4.0mm, 3.5mm and 3.0mm. The 2.5 variant is<br />
used for pins with thread diameters 2.5mm, 2.0mm and 1.5mm.<br />
A feature of all the clamps is a system of internal locking grooves which<br />
interlock when tightened giving very rigid angular fixation (c.f. KE type<br />
systems).<br />
The clamps may be used with either Stainless Steel or Carbon Fibre bars of<br />
4.0mm in diameter. This is a beautifully engineered system which costs<br />
little more than KE.<br />
Available as a set including clamps, wrenches, stainless bars, carbon bars<br />

The large linear fixator is designed for use in the stabilisation of fractures<br />
requiring pins with thread diameters ranging from 3.0mm to 6.0mm.<br />
The clamps are of two types. The ‘Slide on’ type is fed onto the end of the<br />
bar. The ‘Clip on’ type may be fitted into the middle of an existing frame.<br />
The clip on clamp is springloaded and clips onto the bar in a semi- retained<br />
fashion pending tightening. Additionally the pin clamp is springloaded, the<br />
pins clip in and are retained pending insertion and tightening. The<br />
tightening of the clamp to the bar and the clamp to the pins are separate<br />
operations. There is minimal slipping and sliding during assembly. The<br />
clamp offers multi-point fixation to pins 3.00mm to 6.0mm. A feature of all<br />
the clamps is a system of internal locking grooves which interlock when<br />
tightened giving very rigid angular fixation (c.f. KE type systems)<br />
The clamps are used with radioluscent Carbon Fibre bars, 11.0mm in<br />
diameter.<br />
Available as a set including both clamp styles, wrenches and carbon bars at<br />

The smooth shanks of the pins provide minimal pull out resistance.<br />
Trochar pins should, therefore, be placed at converging or diverging angles<br />
compared to other pins in the same bone fragment.<br />

Pin Choice<br />
There are some rules:<br />
1. Threaded pins have a higher pull out resistance and may be placed at<br />
right angles to the bone surface c.f. smooth pins. It is therefore possible to<br />
place more pins per bone fragment using threaded pins.<br />
2. Try to place at least 3 pins in each fragment. If only 2 pins are possible<br />
use as large a diameter as seems safe. The bone holding power of a pin is<br />
proportional to the bone/pin interface it creates. 1/3 fragment diameter is<br />
the usual guideline.<br />
3. As far as end thread pins are concerned, do not worry too much about<br />
the positive/negative profile. Select your pins based on thread diameter not<br />
shaft diameter. Your fixator system (old KE) may impose positive profile<br />
pins on you to obtain a given thread diameter.<br />
4. Type II frames work much better with mid thread pins but care needs to<br />
be exercised not to exceed a safe diameter (e.g. proximal radius).<br />
5 The longer your frame needs to stay in situ (based on fracture type and<br />
patient factors), the greater the stability and bone/pin interface you will<br />
require. If in doubt, go for a modified type II, fully threaded.<br />

Cortical<br />
The drilling tip of this type of pin is the long Trochar. Immediately behind<br />
the Trochar is a short fine thread designed to engage the far cortex. The<br />
smooth shank engages the near cortex. The thread/shank junction (the<br />
weakest part of the pin) is positioned in the medullary cavity and is<br />
therefore protected.<br />
Ellis type pins have improved pull out resistance over Trochar pins and the<br />
angle of placement is not as critical. Ellis pins should be placed at right<br />
angles to the bone if possible.<br />

Bicortical Negative Threaded Pins<br />
Bicortical<br />
Negative bicortical pins have had a bad reputation for early failure at the<br />
thread pin junction. Where selection of pin and frame are appropriate<br />
failure of negative threaded pins is rare.<br />
The important criterion is thread diameter not shaft diameter. For any<br />
given thread diameter both positive and negative threaded pins are equally<br />
strong. Virtually all human pins are negative threaded!<br />

Coarse Negative Threaded Pins<br />
Pearson Positive Threaded Pins<br />
The thread on this pin is similar to a self-tapping cortical screw. The drilling tip<br />
is, again, the long Trochar. In young bone, use without pre-drilling; in older,<br />
hardened bone, use smaller pilot hole.<br />
The much improved pull out resistance means that these pins can be placed<br />
parallel within the same bone fragment; useful when fragment is smaller or<br />
when aligning proximal and distal fragments. More prone to pin fracture than<br />
Ellis pins. Always use three pins on either side of the fracture if possible.<br />

End Thread<br />
Mid Thread<br />
The fine threads of these pins are proud of the shank eliminating the weak<br />
point where the thread ends in other pins. The major benefit of positive<br />
pins is that the additional thread diameter creates a larger bone pin<br />
interface for a given shaft diameter. This style of pin is useful where a good<br />
pull out resistance is required and where it is anticipated that the frames<br />
will be left in situ for long periods - 6 weeks plus. Use KE Plus clamps if<br />
available. Place at right angles to the bone.<br />
The mid threaded pin provides good pull out resistance in frames where<br />
the fixation pins are supported on either side of the limb by connecting<br />
bars. i.e. Type II frames.<br />

The benefits of positive threaded pins in long term ESF frames are well<br />
known. However, there is evidence that impaction of bone debris causes<br />
problems at the bone pin interface. The special fluting of the Pearson Pin<br />
addresses these problems. The special tip DOES NOT require predrilling<br />
thereby reducing time and soft tissue morbidity.<br />

Pin Insertion<br />

Standard Cutters<br />
Safety Cutter<br />
Correct pin insertion requires slow axial rotation under pressure. A Jacobs<br />
hand chuck can be used particularly where bone is young and soft. There is<br />
a tendency when using a hand chuck to produce a hole which is not<br />
circular, this will reduce the pin/bone interface resulting in premature pin<br />
loosening. The small Jacobs hand chuck gives better control and is big<br />
enough for 2, 3 and 4mm pins.<br />
The ideal instrument in my experience, is the Variable Speed Orthopaedic<br />
Drill which offers maximum control and minimal wobble. It delivers pure<br />
axial rotation. It is a low speed, high torque device and, of course, useful<br />
elsewhere in veterinary <strong>orthopaedics</strong>.<br />

Most types of bolt cutter;<br />
• cause the cut end to fly off in a potentially dangerous manner<br />
• create a sharp point leading to soft tissue irritation<br />
• deform the cut area which may jam in ESF clamps.<br />
The enclosed shearing action of this pin cutter addresses all these<br />
problems. The cutting range and type of action makes this cutter ideal for<br />
trimming ESF pins. The actual cut is 5mm below the surface of the cutter.<br />

Protection of soft tissue is very important when placing an ESF frame.<br />
Tissue protection whilst placing single pins is relatively straight forward.<br />
However, once a bar is in position passing a pin through a clamp into bone<br />
presents a particular difficulty. Standard tissue protectors cannot be<br />
removed. The ESF tissue protector splits along its length to allow removal.<br />
The tip has small serrations to encourage grip on the bone surface.<br />

Epoxy ESF Putty<br />
Epoxy ESF Putty<br />
Epoxy E.S.F. putty is a simple to use, quick and convenient alternative to the<br />
standard bar and clamp system. The putty, once mixed, stiffens in 5<br />
minutes and within 1 hour is fully cured. The putty can be applied and then<br />
the fracture reduced allowing precise manipulation of the fracture site. The<br />
versatility of the system allows the putty to be used in place of clamps, to<br />
cover sharp ends of cut pins, and many other applications.<br />
There are two pack sizes in a bar format with the premeasured catalyst in<br />
the centre of the bar ready for mixing. The product is clean and has a long<br />
shelf life. Only mix the quantity you need, cutting the required amount off<br />
the end of the bar. If you find you don't have enough, more can be<br />
prepared in a matter of seconds. E.S.F. putty sticks to itself very well and<br />
may be used for repairs and corrections. Particularly useful in fractures in<br />
small furries where proximal and distal fragments may be attached together<br />
with 'blobs' of putty in place of clamps regardless of fixation pin site.<br />
• Easy to use<br />
• Economical<br />
• Versatile<br />
Typical Applications<br />
• ESF applications requiring multiple pins of various sizes<br />
placed at various angles.<br />
• ESF applications in rabbits and guinea pigs<br />
• Fractures of the jaw<br />
• Protecting sharp ends of cut pins<br />
• Joining non-standard pins and bars<br />
• Use to add a pin mid frame<br />

EXTERNAL FIXATION 4<br />
Dynamic Fixators<br />
External fixation has an increasingly important place in veterinary<br />
<strong>orthopaedics</strong> including the management of fractures, non unions and<br />
growth plate abnormalities in adult dogs.<br />
In addition to the standard KE and KE Plus systems,<strong>Veterinary</strong><br />
<strong>Instrumentation</strong> also offers a range of dynamic external fixators which are<br />
of particular use in the management of growth plate injuries in the growing<br />
dog.<br />
Linear Distractors<br />
Uniplanar Dynamic Distractor<br />
Bone lengthening is occasionally required to substitute bone lost through<br />
growth plate abnormalities, e.g. short radius or trauma. The bilateral<br />
dynamic fixator is more user friendly than the ring fixator. N.B 1.00mm<br />
pitch means that one full turn of the adjuster moves the assembly 1.00mm.<br />
Sliding clamps are available as either single or doubles. When significant<br />
bowing of the bone involved has occurred (usually radius) some singles<br />
may be necessary.<br />

Ring Fixators<br />
Ring Fixator Kit (001800) 70, 100, 120 &160mm Rings<br />
<strong>Veterinary</strong> <strong>Instrumentation</strong>’s full ring fixator set includes all the instrumentation<br />
and implants for virtually all appropriate <strong>Veterinary</strong> procedures. It is closely<br />
based on the well proven original Ilizarov model with some modifications for<br />
small animal use. For full details check www.ringfixator.com.<br />
The kit is available in two forms: 001800A has 70 and 100mm rings<br />
manufactured in high tensile aluminium. 001800C has the 70 and 100mm<br />
rings made from ultra lightweight carbon fibre. In both sets the 120 and<br />
160mm rings are made from stainless steel.<br />
Connection plates are used to convert half or 5/8 rings into ellipsoid or ovals.<br />
A range of clamps is included to allow the fixation of wires to the rings in a<br />
variety of positions. Half pins (negative or positive profiles) may be added to<br />
the frames using the posts and clamps provided.<br />
Several spanners are included to enable the surgeon to access clamps in<br />
restricted areas and to allow the surgeon to accurately control wire alignment<br />
and to a degree wire tension.<br />
Conical washers allow rings to change angle relative to the threaded rods for<br />
small angular adjustments.<br />
Hinges are included for dynamic angular deformity correction.<br />
360 degree universal joints are included.<br />
The incremental motors move 0.25mm per click.<br />
A dedicated mechanical tensioner facilitates application of tension.<br />
Although not critical using smaller rings, tension is very important using thin<br />
wires on large rings.<br />

in mind the following, once mounted the saw sits at right angles to the<br />
long axis of the saw c.f. standard Slocum type saws. Additionally the cut<br />
is less aggressive in that the oscillation is 4º rather than the 6º of<br />
standard saws. The cut will, therefore, be slower. Ideal as a budget<br />
alternative or as a back up to your air saw.<br />

veterinary orthopaedic surgeons who enjoy their surgery and who wish to<br />
provide their clients and patients with the best possible care.<br />
Unfortunately 3M equipment is no longer available new. Our experience<br />
with 3M is such that we have obtained good quality pre-owned supplies<br />
which will provide many years of quality service at a reasonable price.<br />
We can service all 3M equipment. Call for details.<br />

Wire Driver K111<br />
Power Tools<br />
Reattachment of osteotomies or small<br />
bone fragments is often best achieved<br />
using "K" or arthrodesis wires.<br />
Driving long wires often results in<br />
bending. Driving short wires<br />
in a Jacobs chuck<br />
requires time<br />
consuming and<br />
repeated adjustments.<br />
Sagittal Saw K220<br />
The wire driver is designed to drive "K"<br />
and arthrodesis wires 0.9mm to 2.0mm<br />
accurately with finger tip advancement<br />
of the wires.<br />
For osteotomies in confined areas, e.g. excision arthroplasty, radial<br />

Minos A200<br />
A dedicated bur system, the Minos A200 drives a large range of burs at up<br />
to 100,000 rpm. This is the top line instrument in use at most universities<br />
and referral practices. Relatively robust in that the bur is driven by an air<br />
vane. Always use an appropriate length bur guard to protect the bur and<br />
operator. Usually available pre-owned. Further details and trials are<br />
available on request. A set will include the A200 motor, bur guard and a<br />

“In my view the Halls wiredriver has a nicer action than the 3Ms version.<br />
The trigger has a two stage action. An initial squeeze grips the wire and a<br />
full squeeze initiates the drive mechanism. Wires may be inserted<br />
incrementally very quickly. At no time is a long section of wire exposed<br />
which tends to bend. Fits standard Halls hoses (which is the same as the<br />
Whittemore saw). This is a stand alone unit unlike the Mini driver and Maxi<br />
driver which are modular.” The only disadvantage is that the maximum wire<br />
size is 1.8mm.<br />

Bur Guards<br />
Bur Brush<br />
Burs and bur guards are common to both the Minos and the Surgairtome II.<br />
A bur guard should always be used when driving burs. Spinning at 100,000<br />
rpm the shaft needs support.<br />
BUR GUARDS<br />

1375-011 Long Bur Guard £289.55<br />
1375-012 Medium Bur Guard £289.55<br />
When burs stop cutting mid procedure the reason is usually clogging of the<br />
cutting flutes. High speeds (100,000 rpm) minimise the problem. Dremel<br />
type flexdrive units are particularly prone. Our bur brush is used to clean<br />
the bur without damaging it. It may be more convenient to change the bur<br />
and clean them up afterwards.<br />
BRUSH<br />
A315 Bur Brush £17.20<br />
Burs<br />
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<br />
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<br />
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<br />
burs are checked and changed on a regular basis.<br />
Diamond burs are sharper and create less heat that carbide equivalents. Adequate irrigation is essential. Please see chart for options and prices.<br />

notch UK MA7 US Schrader<br />
All the air equipment runs on Medical Air at 7 Bar (100PSI) Drills and saws<br />
can be run from compressors as their air requirement is intermittent. High<br />
speed drills need bottled gas or a big compressor. A twin dial regulator is<br />
best to control gas pressure (001756). One dial gives bottle pressure, the<br />
other one gives line pressure (7 Bar).<br />
UK supplied hoses come with an MA7 probe (Medical Air 7 Bar pressure).<br />
Schrader fittings on hoses purchased from the USA look similar to UK MA7<br />
probes. Many will however not lock into UK MA7 sockets. The best solution<br />
is to change the probe. A cheaper alternative is to use a Schrader/MA7<br />
adaptor (001758).<br />

Slocum TPLO blades create a patented biradial cut which means that the<br />
tibial plateau segment fits the distal tibia section exactly with maximum<br />
bone contact. While this is a good thing the design of the blade does not<br />
cut very efficiently and needs regular hand sharpening if excess heat is not<br />
to be produced. <strong>Veterinary</strong> <strong>Instrumentation</strong> has been looking at TPLO<br />
blades for a number of years and is introducing a range of Radial blades<br />
which cut better and are cheaper to replace than the Slocum original. They<br />
have the same triangular stryker connection.<br />
Currently the stainless steel radius saw is only available in 24mm. A multi<br />
blade hub is under development due for release in April 2007.<br />

The 18 & 24mm blades fit the small mandrel and the 21, 27 & 30 blades fit<br />
the large mandrel. It is sensible to buy a mandrel for each blade size you<br />
wish to use.<br />
The theoretical benefits of a bi-radial blade are well known. However, in<br />
practice the bi-radial blade is not very efficient at cutting bone even when<br />
new. After hand sharpening the efficiency falls still further. An inefficient<br />
blade creates heat. The thermal necrosis produced by the bi-radial blade<br />
neutralises any benefit derived from the bi-radial cut.<br />
Our titanium blades are light, thin, hard and replaceable. In addition the<br />
blades have a ’set’ (the teeth are alternately offset as in all wood cutting<br />
saws) which creates a slot slightly wider than the blade. This reduces the<br />
friction and heat still further as well as preventing the blade jamming in the<br />
osteotomy. When the blade becomes worn simply replace with new sharp<br />
blade.<br />

6 SPINAL SURGERY<br />
Surgery of the spine<br />
Spinal Surgery<br />
Electric Flexidrive Bur System<br />
Introduction<br />
Surgery of the spine in the cat and the dog can be performed in <strong>general</strong><br />
practice provided that appropriate skills and instrumentation are available.<br />
Diagnostic skills and equipment are of course equally important.<br />
Myelography is another procedure which is not particularly difficult and can<br />
be very rewarding. However, myelography perhaps should only be<br />
performed if the means to correct the problem is available. Spinal surgery<br />
is an increasingly common topic at CPD meetings and courses. Equipped<br />
with knowledge and some instruments, practice (initially on cadavers)<br />
makes perfect.<br />
Many procedures can be performed using hand instruments only, eg.<br />
fenestration of cervical and thoraco/lumbar discs. Even<br />
hemilaminectomies and slotting can be done manually provided that the<br />
correct instruments and time are available. Access to high speed drills and<br />
burs does, however, make life easier and significantly reduces surgery time.<br />
The choice of power tools is very difficult with a wide range of options.<br />
Important criteria include drill speed, bur range, ease of sterilising and<br />
expense.<br />
<strong>Veterinary</strong> <strong>Instrumentation</strong> has assembled a range of hand instruments and<br />
surgical power tools which will enable the veterinary surgeon to perform<br />
most spinal procedures.<br />
The range is such that if you do not know exactly what you require ask for a<br />
selection on a sale or return basis. Simon Wheeler's book is an excellent<br />
guide. The new edition is now available which is even better.<br />
For the occasional spinal surgeon, this budget system performs very well.<br />
The burs run at 0 - 15,000 rpm controlled via a foot pedal and the flexidrive<br />
is easy to use. Now supplied with removable, autoclavable handpiece. Use<br />
sterile autoclavable film to shroud the flexible shaft. Supplied as a complete<br />
kit including burs and instructions. When you are cutting more than one<br />
back per month think about a Minos/Surgairtome. See pages 71 and 74.<br />

Rongeurs & Punches<br />
Friedman<br />
All rongeurs and spine forceps cut with one part of the jaw inserted into the<br />
compromised spinal canal. Our spine instruments are designed to minimise<br />
the size of the lower jaw. In many cases this will reduce the cutting strength<br />
of the instrument which should only be used on appropriate bone<br />
thickness. A selection of rongeurs will be required.<br />

Very fine rongeurs for incremental removal of bone overlying the spine.<br />
Designed by Simon Wheeler BVSc PhD, these rongeurs can remove full<br />
thickness laminal bone in small dogs. They are, however, best used to<br />
remove the layer of deep cortical bone overlying the spinal cord once the<br />

This instrument is designed for use with<br />
high speed bur systems. The bur is used<br />
to remove the outer cortical layer and<br />
the underlying cancellous layer, leaving<br />
only the inner cortical bone<br />
(appoximately egg shell thickness).<br />
Access to the neural canal is achieved<br />
using the bur or a small mobiliser<br />
(001420). The powerful nibbling action<br />
allows the final layer of bone to be<br />
removed in a very controlled manner.<br />

From a surgical standpoint the foot should be as small as possible, for<br />
strength the foot needs to be as large as possible. This wedge shape is a<br />
good compromise. In addition the foot is polished to minimise friction and<br />
trauma to the spine. Overall length 21cm.

Implant Designs and Specifications<br />
For many years, veterinary <strong>orthopaedics</strong> have been complicated by the use<br />
of two incompatible plating systems: AO/ASIF type cortical screws plus<br />
compression type plates, and Sherman type screws plus Sherman and<br />
Venables type plates. The two systems differed both in their metallurgy and<br />
their strength.<br />
All our implants are now made from stainless steel of the latest human<br />
specification, exceeding DIN 17443 and ISO 5832/1 (all are versions of<br />
stainless 316LV). This is the same specification material used by other<br />
manufacturers. In addition where international standards have been applied<br />
to screw threads e.g. 3.5 cortical screws (DIN 58812) our implants meet<br />
these standards. It is now safe to use implants from a variety of sources<br />
provided they meet the above specifications. All implants made in Europe<br />
must be compatible with each other.<br />
Round hole plates may be used with cortical screws. Only corticocancellous<br />
screws with spherical heads can be used to achieve compression using<br />
compression plates.<br />
Self-Tapping Cortical Screws<br />
After many years of being advised by AO that self-tapping screws were<br />
unacceptable, it now seems that they are fine and are supplied as selftapping<br />
cortical screws. The pull out resistance is unaffected provided the<br />
self-tapping flutes sit outside the bone. In our view long holes in hard bone<br />
should be pre-tapped e.g. a trans-condylar screw in the mature humerus or<br />
a position screw through the calcaneus. <strong>Veterinary</strong> <strong>Instrumentation</strong>'s<br />
cortical kits are now available with self-tapping cortical screws or regular<br />
cortical screws which require a tap.<br />
Stainless Equipment Boxes<br />
BX2735CS<br />
The design of this stainless lidded box is such that steam can circulate freely<br />
to ensure complete sterility. The standard size is 250 x 150 x 55mm, which<br />
fits all typical veterinary autoclaves. A range of boxes has been developed to<br />
house plating equipment and implants for each screw size system.<br />
Suffix CS is for AO type cortical screw equipment. Suffix ST is for<br />
self-tapping (Sherman) type equipment. Equipment not included.<br />
Implant Codes<br />
To minimise confusion regarding ordering, we have given our implants codes<br />
which accurately describe the item in question. For example: C2706052 is a<br />
compression plate for 2.7 screws which has 6 holes and is 52mm long.<br />
To further assist in decision making and ordering, templates are printed on<br />
pages 229 to 234 which show the exact shape of all the plates available.<br />
Each outline is described by its own code. Acrylic overlays of these<br />
templates for use during fracture planning with radiographs are available<br />
free of charge from <strong>Veterinary</strong> <strong>Instrumentation</strong>.<br />

2.7mm Round Hole Plate (6mm wide - 2mm thick)<br />
Bone plates for 2.7mm or 7/64" screws usually have too few holes in the<br />
wrong places. The 2.7mm round hole plate has holes at 6mm intervals in a<br />
range of lengths. These plates are stronger than Sherman plates. See<br />
template for details.<br />
2.7mm Round Hole Plate<br />
This system of screws and plates utilises the familiar 7/64" self tapping<br />
screw. The head has a single slot. Until now the available bone plates for<br />
this screw were extremely limited, the plates were too weak with too few<br />
holes. A wide range of plates are now available, including "T" plates and<br />
reconstruction plates<br />

3.5mm 9 / 64” Self Tapping Screws (Sherman)<br />
Although looked down upon by some orthopaedic surgeons, the 9/64"<br />
Sherman bone screw has a very similar pull out resistance to 3.5mm cortical<br />
screws. The main problem with this screw has been the lack of suitable bone<br />
plates. Our range of 3.5mm round hole bone plates widens the scope of these<br />
self tapping screws considerably. Use flat screwdriver SDF350 or cruciate<br />
screwdriver SDC3500. The head of this screw is conical. It cannot be used in<br />
DCP’s to create inter-fragmentary compression.<br />

Cortical Kits<br />
Placement of a compression plate is a specialist procedure requiring<br />
training and dedicated equipment. It is convenient to purchase the range of<br />
specialised instruments as a kit in a stainless steel autoclavable case. The<br />
kit contains a screw rack and a range of plates and screws to meet typical<br />
requirements. The instruments are discounted when purchased as a kit.<br />
For more details phone 0845 130 9596 or visit www.vetinst.com and<br />
follow the info: links to “kits.”<br />
Compression Plates and Cortical Screws<br />
(AO/ASIF type)<br />
By carefully positioning screws within the special holes of compression<br />
plates, compression can be exerted at the reduced fracture site as the<br />
screw is tightened. As the spherical head of the screw strikes the rear edge<br />
of the hole in the plate, the screw, (and the attached bone) are forced away<br />
from the edge of the hole and towards the fracture site.<br />
The object of compression is to provide for primary bone union. A special<br />
guide must be used to position accurately the screw hole within the plate.<br />
The oval shaped holes in DCP’s allow a greater range of screw angulations<br />
than round hole plates. Cortical screws are available in both tapped and<br />
self tapping formats.<br />

A tap is essentially a cutting tool designed<br />
to pre-cut screw threads into the pilot<br />
hole prior to screw placement. The profile<br />
is similar to the screw in question but has<br />
long flutes to allow bone debris to be<br />
cleared. Taps are available as stand alone<br />

Tissue Protection Sleeves<br />
Rotating pins, drills and taps will "pick<br />
up" soft tissues, skin, muscle, nerve<br />
and blood vessels, causing serious<br />
damage. Use of tissue protection<br />
sleeves minimises such damage. The<br />
teeth at the top of the guide locate on<br />
the bone whilst the stainless tube<br />
provides a barrier between soft tissue<br />
and implant equipment.<br />

Depth Gauge<br />
Accurate measurement of hole depth is essential in order to select the<br />
appropriate screw size. A range of gauges is available for various screw<br />
sizes. Hole depth is read from the instrument. Add extra to allow for over<br />
penetration. Use in self-tapping or cortical systems.<br />

Load Neutral Drill Guides<br />
To exert compression at the fracture site, the cortical screw must be<br />
positioned precisely within the slot in the compression plate. The<br />
load/neutral drill guide has two tips, one for compression (load) and one<br />
where no compression is exerted (neutral). There is one combination for<br />
each screw/plate size. Each guide is marked with the drill size to be used.<br />

Countersinks<br />
If the screw is destined to screw down onto the surface of the bone without a<br />
plate, it is helpful to contour the top of the screw hole to fit the screw head.<br />
This procedure is especially important when lag screwing relatively small<br />
fragments. Failure to countersink may lead to fracture of the bone fragment.<br />

Broad 3.5mm Compression Plate<br />
Occasionally a lag screw has to be placed exactly where the neutralisation<br />
plate required to protect it should sit. This usually results in a compromise<br />
of one or the other being placed in a less than ideal position or a fiddle<br />
trying to feed the screw through the plate at the same time as reducing the<br />
fracture. <strong>Veterinary</strong> <strong>Instrumentation</strong>’s new keyhole plate allows the plate to<br />
be placed after the lag screw. Before tightening the screw it is a simple<br />
matter to fit the protecting plate over the head of the screw. The screw<br />
head tightens into the narrower part of the keyhole. The design of the<br />
keyhole allows a greater range of screw angle than is possible in a standard<br />
DCP. The strength of the plate is unaffected. Available as a 3.5 7 hole DCP<br />
i.e. the keyhole hole and three either side.<br />

Locking screws<br />
NEW<br />
Compatible with standard locking plates our screws require a standard 2.5<br />
hex screwdriver (the same as cortical screws). The threads are finer than<br />
cortical screws as they do not need to grip bone as well as cortical and<br />
cancellous screws. Using locking screws and plates, the bone is attached to<br />
the screw and the screw is then locked onto the plate. DCPs rely on being<br />
trapped between the head of the screw and the bone. The implications of<br />
this are that less stress is placed on the interface between screw and bone.<br />
In addition the plate does not have to be contoured as accurately. It is<br />
rather like an internal external fixation in that the locking plate and screws<br />
holds the bone fragments in a fixed position relative to one another. To<br />
ensure that the fine thread of the screw aligns exactly with the threads in<br />
the plate it is essential to use the dedicated drill guide which screws into<br />
the plate prior to the drilling of the pilot hole.<br />

Titanium Screws<br />
The head of the locking screw locks into the matching threaded hole in the<br />
plate. The plate is not attached to the bone by being trapped between<br />
screw and bone. Rather the plate and screws form an external fixator<br />
construct just above the bone under the soft tissues. Less stress is placed<br />
on the screw bone interface making this construct ideal where bone stock<br />
is poor. In addition contouring of the plate is much less important. As the<br />
screw tightens into the plate the bone fragments are held in reduction<br />
rather than being pulled up to the plate and possibly out of alignment.<br />
Holes will accept either standard screws or locking screws. Relieving<br />
grooves facilitate contouring. Use locking plug to minimise hole<br />
deformation.<br />
The dual hole allows compression to be applied at the fracture side if<br />
necessary.<br />

facio maxillary repairs. The most important benefit in this application is that<br />
Titanium does not interfere with MRI scans. Compared to stainless steel<br />
Titanium is lighter and much more osteo compatible.<br />
The major application in veterinary <strong>orthopaedics</strong> is in conjunction with the<br />

The problem with many distal radius fractures is that the distal segment is<br />
so small that it is difficult to place sufficient screws. T plates help but often<br />
the head portion is too bulky. Hybrid ‘T’ plates provide a solution.<br />
The screwholes in the head are smaller and closer together than those<br />
in the shaft.<br />
Two sizes are available 2.7/3.5 and 1.5/2.0<br />
Both plates will accept the same screw in the head as in the shaft but with<br />
reduced range of screw angle.<br />
The longer plate is useful for complex distal radius fractures and<br />
corrective osteotomies.<br />

BHP2008065<br />
These plates are designed to bridge a section of shattered long bone. It<br />
effectively acts as a buttress plate. No attempt is made to reconstruct. The<br />
fracture site is not disturbed to minimise de-vitalisation and contamination.<br />
The plate maintains length and permits weight bearing. Use of these plates<br />
avoids leaving empty screw holes over the fracture site which significantly<br />
weakens the construct. Plates are available in 7 or 8 hole versions. Each<br />
type of plate is available in a range of lengths.<br />
BHP2008065 the cat femur plate is contoured for the average cat femur.<br />
Use when proximal and distal sections are intact and the body of the femur<br />
is un-reconstructable. If it cannot be reconstructed it is better not to try.<br />
See page 234 for all Biological Healing Plate profiles.<br />
All holes are round as compression is not required and there is better<br />
screw/plate contact with round holes.<br />

Many new sizes<br />
Supracondylar femoral fractures in mature animals can be very difficult to<br />
repair. Small fragment size makes placement of sufficient implants a<br />
challenge. In medium and large dogs there are often multiple small<br />
fragments in the supracondylar area. The forces acting on the distal femur<br />
are complex requiring a special plate to neutralise them. The 2.7 and<br />
3.5mm plates were developed by Mark Glyde using finite element analysis.<br />
Available in a range of sizes and lengths. 2.0, 2.7, 3.5 narrow and 3.5 broad<br />
(two lengths). Use bending templates to pre-contour plates.<br />

Supracondylar Osteotomy Plates (SCOP)<br />
NEW<br />
Osteotomy of the distal femur is now an accepted technique for correction<br />
of patella luxation in medium and large dogs with a limb alignment<br />
deformity. The distal femur is a difficult area to appropriately contour and<br />
place sufficient screws. Using finite element analysis Mark Glyde designed<br />
a preformed plate specifically for this area. Screw hole placement allows for<br />
a closing wedge osteotomy. Available in 2.7mm and 3.5mm narrow and<br />
3.5mm broad sizes. Use profiles on page 232 as guide.<br />

Pantarsal Arthrodesis Plate (medial)<br />
Pancarpal Arthrodesis Plate (Hybrid Plates)<br />
‘Off the shelf’ we have a 3.5mm plate bent at 135 degrees tapering to<br />
2.7mm holes distally. This plate applied to the medial aspect of the joint fits<br />
in most cases. The plate was developed using our experience of producing<br />
custom plates. The plate is especially strengthened at the stress point<br />
around the talus screw. If this plate is not suitable please send a radiograph<br />
or tracing and we will design and make a plate for you. If you are faxing a<br />
drawing please draw a line 100mm long prior to transmission. See page<br />
234 for an actual size profile of the 2.7/3.5mm plate. Use a tibio<br />
calcaneous position screw to maximise stability.<br />
NEW<br />
Our 3.5/2.7 Hybrid Pantarsal plate has proved very popular. Based on our<br />
database of manufacturing custom plates for small dogs and cats we are<br />
now in a position to offer two further plates as standard. Surgeons are<br />
encouraged to check the patient’s radiograph against our Pantarsal<br />
Arthrodesis profile sheet on page 234 of this catalogue or as a download<br />
from www.vetinst.com. Both are designed for medial application. Lateral<br />
application is acceptable if circumstances dictate. However, you must order<br />
the ‘wrong’ side.<br />
Small Dog 135 degrees 2.7/2.0mm. This plate will fit most patients<br />
requiring 2.7mm screws in the tibia and 2.0mm screws in the metatarsals.<br />
Cat 120 degrees 2.7/2.0(1.5)mm. This plate is designed to perform<br />
arthrodesis to the compromised calcanoquartal (hock) joint which is<br />
commonly subject to shearing injuries or fracture dislocations. Proximally<br />
the plate will accept 2.7mm screws. Distally the plate will accept either<br />
2.0mm and 1.5mm screws.<br />

Pancarpal arthrodesis is a regular procedure in veterinary <strong>orthopaedics</strong>.<br />
Standard plates tend to be either too big for the metacarpal or too small for<br />
the radius. Our range of hybrid carpal arthrodesis plates tries to give you<br />
the best of both worlds.<br />
The taper on the distal part of the plate makes closure easier and<br />
automatically produces an angle of around 5 degrees. (See page 233 for<br />
plate profiles.)<br />
Some surgeons prefer greater coverage of the metacarpals than is offered<br />
by our standard plates. We now offer an extra long plate which is designed<br />
to give over 50% coverage of the metacarpal segment.<br />
For partial carpal arthrodesis try our TPLO plates (see page 231). Also<br />
useful for pantarsal arthrodesis, intertarsal arthrodesis, distal tibial fracture<br />
and distal humerus fractures.<br />

Drill Bits - Hard<br />
Expensive but last a long time. All Synthes fit drills, and those round shank<br />
drills with a diameter of 3.2mm or more, come in short and long lengths.<br />
These drills are much stiffer than implant quality ones. Particularly<br />
recommended for drills less than 3.2mm diameter. Drill fragments do not<br />
cause a problem. G suffix indicates gold titanium nitride coating.<br />

Bone pin storage and sterilisation<br />
is difficult. Pins are long and<br />
sharp. The bone pin roll stores at<br />
least one of each pin.<br />

Bone Pin Tubes<br />
Simple, cheap and often the best technique for the repair of long bones.<br />
I/M pinning does not resist compression and rotation very effectively. It<br />
may be helpful to add an external fixator for two weeks if in any doubt.<br />
Smooth pins are most likely to migrate. The threaded pins are negatively<br />
cut and do reduce backing out particularly if the distal fragment is small.<br />
Our Trochar tips are designed to cut bone but care must be exercised to<br />
avoid heat necrosis during insertion. Can be cut in half to produce cheap<br />
ESF pins. Most pins chucks will only take 1/4" pins.* Do not purchase a<br />
5/16” pin unless you have a chuck to insert it. Use 1.0mm wire minimum as<br />
a cerclage.<br />

Interlocking Nail System<br />
Interlocking nails are a refinement of the original Kuntscher Nail. An<br />
interlocking nail is basically an intra-medullary pin secured in position by<br />
proximal and distal transfixing screws which engage the bone to the nail to<br />
provide axial, bending and torsional stability.<br />
In comminuted long bone fractures, the Interlocking Nail System is useful<br />
due to the mechanical advantage of medullary implantation (i.e. mechanical<br />
axis) and prevention of collapse of the fracture by the interlocking effect.<br />
Ancillary cerclage wires reduce periosteal stripping and minimise<br />
disturbance to blood supply compared to plating.<br />
<strong>Veterinary</strong> <strong>Instrumentation</strong> stocks the 4 hole no.11 nails (11mm spacing) in<br />
8.0, 6.0, 4.7 and 4.0mm nail diameters.<br />
We also maintain stocks of additional drill bits and taps - please phone<br />

The modular format gives four different femur combinations. Two stem<br />
sizes are available. The taper neck is the same on both. Two ball options<br />
are available, the ball diameter is 15mm in both cases. The “short neck”<br />
ball when fitted to the standard taper neck gives a short necked prosthesis<br />
and the “long neck” ball gives a long necked prosthesis. When combined<br />
with the two acetabular cups a total of 8 combinations are possible. The<br />
most common combination is a small stem and long neck ball together with<br />
a small acetabular cup.<br />
The surgeon most familiar with the system is Hamish Denny, FRCVS, who<br />
helped develop the system and has performed over 200 procedures. He<br />
also produced the instructional video which is available on free loan. This is<br />
not a ‘high tech’ system which requires a mass of dedicated<br />
instrumentation and jigs. It is a simple, well proven system which assumes<br />
that the surgeon has the knowledge and expertise to complete the<br />
procedure.<br />
Two sizes are available. The internal diameter is the same, as all the heads<br />
of the femoral components are 15mm in diameter. The only difference<br />
between the cups is the wall thickness and therefore the outside diameter.<br />
All cups are marked with stainless rings to establish cup position on<br />
radiographs. Cups have very deep grooves on the external diameter to<br />
provide good cement keying.<br />

The aim of the femoral rasp is to produce a hole the same shape as the<br />
stem of the femoral prosthesis plus a margin for the bone cement. The<br />
femoral rasp can create seating for both stems in that both stems have a<br />
similar profile distally and differ only in the proximal area. To create a<br />
seating for the large stem simply make a deeper hole.<br />

Supplied sterile with a passive drainage reservoir the pigtail catheter is<br />
stiffened by a sharp insertion stylet. The drain is guided into postion by<br />
either direct palpation or by ultrasound. Once the tip of the catheter is in<br />
position the stylet is withdrawn allowing the tip to coil into the<br />
characteristic ‘pigtail’ shape. The pigtail shape makes the catheter self<br />
retaining and minimises obstruction of the drain holes by soft tissues.<br />
The drain holes sit on the inside of the coil.<br />
Cavities which may be drained using the pigtail catheter include:<br />
obstructed bladders, prostatic cysts, abcesses and the chest. The<br />

Bulla Osteotomy Rongeurs<br />
Removal of hard wax and other debris from the canine horizontal canal<br />
without causing trauma is a common problem in veterinary surgery.<br />
It is now accepted that the use of ear loops is more effective than cotton<br />
tipped products. Most human ear loops are too large and too short for use<br />
with the much longer veterinary speculae.<br />
<strong>Veterinary</strong> <strong>Instrumentation</strong>'s Canine Ear Loop is slimmer and longer to<br />
facilitate debris removal without obscuring the visual field. The flexible ear<br />
loop is very fine and flexible for added safety. It is not cheap but should last<br />
a lifetime.<br />
Also illustrated is the Canine Ear Model, a valuable aid when explaining<br />
aural problems and procedures.<br />

Bulla Osteotomy & Total Ear Canal Ablation<br />
Lempert<br />
Bulla osteotomy is greatly facilitated by specialised instruments. A rongeur<br />
is more effective than a curette. In addition a Penrose Drain may be<br />
neccessary. Consider 3mm Smith Kerrison spine punch forceps. Access the<br />
bulla using I/M pin or trephine.<br />
Actual Size<br />
122<br />
The sclerotic bone around the auditory meatus of the diseased ear is some<br />
of the hardest found in the body. Total canal ablation (TCA) requires that<br />
the rim of the meatus is nibbled away to ensure that all skin is removed.<br />
The bulla rongeurs have a small bite (3mm) but are relatively heavy in<br />
construction. The compound action allows the appropriate force to be<br />
applied without undue effort on the part of the surgeon.<br />

Binocular Loupes<br />
VI Binocular Loupes<br />
A simple loupe at a reasonable price. The lack of a complex lens system<br />
means that as the magnification gets higher, the focal distance becomes<br />
shorter. This can take a little adjustment as a surgeon. This 2.5X loupe is as<br />
great a magnification as you can get without becoming too close to the<br />
patient.<br />

light and lenses will fit to your own<br />
spectacle frame. The battery lasts for<br />
2 hours on a single charge. The light<br />
is powerful (12,000 lux) and cool.<br />
Lenses and light are adjustable.<br />
Includes 1.5, 1.75, 2.25, 2.75 and 3.5<br />
X lenses. As with the simple loupe<br />
the focal distance of the higher<br />
magnification lens is very short.<br />
Excellent optics plus a reasonable price makes the 2.5X binocular loupe a<br />
sensible purchase for any practice.<br />
• Lenses quickly adjustable for any user<br />
• Lenses flip out the visual field when not required<br />
• Lightweight pure titanium frames<br />

2.5 Loupe with LED light option<br />
Heine Binocular Loupes<br />
German optics are the best. Being able to see exactly what you are doing is<br />
half the battle with micro-surgery. Each eyepiece contains a number of<br />
lenses which means that a high magnification of the operating field is<br />
possible while maintaining normal position of the head relative to the<br />
patient, i.e. a focal distance of between 340 to 420mm. There are a number<br />
of variables to think about.<br />
• Magnification. 4x is as high as one should go. 2.5 is the most common.<br />
• Working Distance.<br />
Choose between 340mm and 420mm whatever is normal for you.<br />
• Spectacle type frame<br />
(you can fit your own prescription lenses) or head band.<br />
These top quality 2.5X loupes are mounted on a headband with a unique<br />
pivot adjustment for ease of use. The loupes flip up out of the way when not<br />
in use. Use prescription glasses as usual behind the lenses. Powerful<br />
28,000 lux LED light attaches to the front of the loupe via a clip-on fixture.<br />
Rechargable battery pack lasts 2.5hours at full power. Intensity adjustable<br />
via battery pack controls.<br />
Loupe/LED set available at a discount. Available in a choice of headbands.<br />
The soft headband is elasticated, the comfort headband is more rigid giving<br />
a more stable platform.<br />

TonoVet<br />
TonoVet is based on a new ‘induction impact principle’, where an ultra light<br />
probe touches the cornea very gently. As such, no topical anaesthetic is<br />
required. Usually the animal does not even notice so sedation is seldom<br />
needed.<br />
The clear benefit compared to the ‘pen’ type tonometer is TonoVet’s low<br />
force on the eye. The probe weight is a mere 26.5mg with a contact time of<br />
0.3 millisecs. The ‘pen’ type probe actually bends the cornea.<br />
In practical terms this means that intra-occular pressure can be measured<br />
by the Tonovet within an hour of surgery. With ‘pen’ types you have to wait<br />
4 to 5 hours.<br />
Uses standard AA batteries. c.f. The<br />

DENTAL MACHINES 12<br />
Introduction<br />
It is possible to scale and polish using only hand instruments. It is,<br />
however, extremely time consuming. Teeth must be polished after scaling<br />
or plaque and tartar will quickly reform.<br />
Piezo Scaler with Detachable, Autoclavable Handpiece<br />
Simple scaling and polishing can be accomplished using electrically driven<br />
systems.<br />
A wider range of procedures including tooth sectioning will require an air<br />
driven unit capable of delivering compressed air and water to the<br />
handpieces.<br />
Ultrasonic Scalers<br />
Ultrasonic scalers work by delivering high frequency vibrations to a metal<br />
tip. The vibration may be generated by a variety of mechanisms:<br />
• Sonic. The tip is vibrated using air from the compressor. The action is<br />
very gentle but very slow with cost and anaesthesia implications.<br />
• Magneto restrictive (cavitron type). The tip is vibrated by multiple<br />
layered metal strips and a magnetic field. Typically their type generates a<br />
lot of heat which requires a lot of cooling water. 35-38000Hz.<br />
• Piezo. The movement at the tip is generated by applying a current<br />
across a crystal. Typically uses less water.<br />
• Ferrite Rod. The tip movement is generated by an electrical field<br />
around a ferrite rod. This system is capable of producing higher<br />
frequencies up to 42,000Hz.<br />
<strong>Veterinary</strong> <strong>Instrumentation</strong> stock Piezo and Ferrite Rod types (iM3 42-12).<br />
We think these are most appropriate for veterinary use.<br />
Please note that all ultrasonic scalers should be used with care as<br />
inappropriate use will result in damage to enamel.<br />
Piezo Scaler<br />
This top of the range piezo unit has a handpiece which is detachable for<br />
cleaning and autoclaving . Separate handpieces may be set up with<br />
different tips. The controls are simple with an LED power readout.<br />
Supplied with 5 different replaceable, scaling tips. This unit is supplied with<br />
its own integrated pressurised water supply system. Alternatively the USD-L<br />
may be plumbed into your dental unit. Automatic frequency tracking.<br />
PIEZO SCALER WITH DETACHABLE, AUTOCLAVABLE HANDPIECE<br />
1020 Piezo Scaler with Autoclavable Handpiece USD-L £395.00<br />
Supplied with 5 tips this is a reliable unit at a very reasonable price. If you<br />
cannot afford the 42-12 this is the best scaler for you. It will require a water<br />
source. Either plug straight into your iM3 unit or purchase our pump up<br />
water bottle. CE marked.<br />

iM3 Dentistry<br />
iM3 is an exclusively veterinary dental equipment company. iM3<br />
understands the special requirements of veterinary dentists and has<br />
produced a range of products to meet these requirements. Reliability and<br />
quality of construction are key features. iM3 units are designed to last and<br />
last. Older units can be upgraded to current specification. Most specialist<br />
teachers recommend iM3.<br />

Dental Machines<br />
CLS<br />
• Freshens mouth<br />
• Disinfects mouth & machine<br />
• Improves bur cutting<br />
• Minimises cross contamination with Felv FIX<br />
Used in the water system of dental units CLS<br />
freshens and sterilises the mouth. When used as<br />
coolant for high speed handpieces cutting<br />
efficiency is improved . It prevents transfer of<br />
FeLV and it can also be flushed through the air<br />
turbines to sterilise and lubricate them using the<br />
iM3 CLS flushing system.<br />
The unique composition of CLS allows use of<br />
chlorhexidine in all dental equipment. Standard<br />
chlorhexidine crystallises out from solution and<br />
will damage your equipment. Do not use regular<br />
chlorhexidine in dental units as it will crystallise<br />
out in the handpieces rendering them inoperative.<br />
Purchase of the larger pack sizes gives significant<br />
savings.<br />

Plaque Disclosing Solution<br />
The 42-12 is unlike any other ultrasonic scaler. All other ultrasonic scalers<br />
work on the 'jack hammer' or scraping movement of the scaler tip. They<br />
need to remain sharp and scrape the tooth through the movement of the<br />
tip. They also generate a lot of heat and in many<br />
instances are unsuitable for subgingival scaling<br />
because of this. The 42-12 works in a similar<br />
fashion to a water bath instrument cleaner, where<br />
the high frequency ultrasonic sound lifts the<br />
plaque and calculus, the circular motion of the tip<br />
moves and dislodges loosened debris, which is<br />
washed away by the water. The extremely high<br />
frequency, 42,000Hz, and the small tip amplitude (0.02mm) all contribute<br />
to safer, quicker, less traumatic and more effective scaling.<br />
The shaft of the tip is totally round, made from titanium and has no fixed<br />
scaling position; it scales anywhere within 360 degrees. The shaft touches<br />
the tooth with as much of its length on the tooth as possible and is wiped<br />
back and forth without pressure, as though you are painting the tooth with<br />
a paint brush. More pressure does not improve the scaling. The 42-12<br />
represents the cutting edge of ultrasonic scaler technology today, giving less<br />
enamel damage and scaling taking half the time. The capsule around virus<br />
or bacteria will be shattered by the ultrasonic sound within 1-2 mm of the<br />
tip in subgingival pockets. There is no foot switch but a sliding on/off switch<br />
on the handpiece. The water supply plugs directly into any IM3 dental unit<br />
or pump-up water bottle.<br />
IM3 42-12 ULTRASONIC SCALER<br />
IM34212 IM3 Ultra Sonic Scaler with unique rotational tip £984.00<br />
Many owners are very aware of the need for scaling and polishing on a<br />
regular basis. However, should any convincing be necessary the ‘IC Plaque<br />
disclosure’ is ideal for the purpose. Simply swab around the mouth with<br />
the convenient dispenser and the plaque shows up as a vivid pink.<br />

Air Driven Dental Units<br />
To obtain the truly high speeds required for drilling and burring an air<br />
driven dental unit is necessary. <strong>Veterinary</strong> <strong>Instrumentation</strong> can supply three<br />
levels of air driven dental machines. The iM3 Ultra is state of the art, the<br />
iM3 GS is a midrange unit built to the same standards as the Ultra. The<br />
<strong>Veterinary</strong> <strong>Instrumentation</strong> Minicart is a straightforward unit containing all<br />
the essentials of an air driven dental machine. All are offered as a complete<br />
set up for cutting and polishing but all can be modified by the addition of<br />
further handpieces and accessories.<br />
iM3 GS<br />
All of the Ultra options are available for the GS, apart from suction and<br />
automatic handpieces. An air driven unit at an affordable price. If you don't<br />
require suction this unit has all you need. Being less demanding in its air<br />
requirements the GS can be run from a mid-priced quiet compressor.<br />
Listed below is a typical set up but many other options are possible We<br />
would be happy to run through the various possibilities. The main choice is<br />
between the non- Fibre Optic version and the Fibre Optic version. Details<br />
of both are shown below.<br />
The GS is supplied with the following handpieces: Push button Highspeed,<br />
low speed motor, 4:1 straight nose cone and a starter pack of oscillating<br />
prophy cups. Many other handpiece options are available.<br />
Consider also the Rabbit option and the Diamond saw option (see page<br />
140). Any scaler will work with the GS without the requirement for a pump<br />
up water bottle. We recommend the iM3 42 12 scaler for best results.<br />

iM3 Ultra<br />
The only dental unit you will ever need to buy. The iM3 Ultra is state of the<br />
art and designed to be kept that way. The iM3 Ultra is designed and built to<br />
last a lifetime. Recognised by leading veterinary dentists as the best unit<br />
available it is designed to meet your growing requirements. All the options<br />
can be fitted from the outset or can be added as your expertise or<br />
experience demands.<br />
Attention to detail is everywhere, even the routine maintenance instructions<br />
are printed on the unit for easy reference. Consider leasing, this unit will<br />
more than pay for itself.<br />
Silent Hurricane<br />
A busy dental unit needs a lot of air. The Silent Hurricane is designed to<br />
deliver what you need without overheating or you having to wait for<br />
‘compressor catch up’. The large 25 litre reserve means that the<br />
compressor is not constantly running. CE certified.<br />
Fibre Optics<br />
The inside of the dog or cat’s mouth is<br />
relatively dark. It is difficult to set up ancillary<br />
lighting to get light to where you need it (c.f.<br />
human dentistry). Fibre optics deliver<br />
brilliant light exactly where you need it. Fibre<br />
optics are standard on the Ultra but an<br />
option on the GS.<br />
Automatic Handpiece Activators<br />
As soon as you remove the Handpiece from the holder it becomes active<br />
via the foot control. No need to fiddle with switches. Whichever handpiece<br />
you have in your hand will work when you press the foot control.<br />
Suction<br />
Highspeeds and ultrasonics produce a lot of fluid. Removal of fluid especially<br />
from the back of the mouth is desirable to minimise inhalation or ingestion.<br />
The integral suction of the Ultra is there when you need it. Strips down for<br />
easy cleaning and the tips are autoclavable.<br />
CLS High Speed Flush<br />
The coolant system on the iM3 Ultra can be switched between distilled<br />
water and CLS. CLS is used to freshen and disinfect the mouth and as a<br />
cutting aid for high speed burs. In addition the CLS system can be used to<br />
flush the high speed turbine thereby killing any FELV which may have been<br />
sucked in. Flushing is an alternative to handpiece autoclaving which<br />
significantly shortens turbine life.<br />
Corian Topped Storage<br />
The top of iM3 units is made from white Corian which is good to look at and<br />
easy to clean. On the Ultra the top lifts up to reveal a large storage area for<br />
handpieces burs etc. A magnetic zone at the front ‘captures’ burs and<br />
prevents them from falling onto the floor.<br />
Handpieces<br />
The iM3 Ultra is supplied complete with the following handpieces. MidWest<br />
Lever Lock Fibre Optic high speed, low speed motor. 4:1 straight nose cone<br />
and a starter pack of oscillating prophy heads.<br />
Consider also the Rabbit option and the Diamond saw option (see page<br />

Rasping is a very inefficient method of levelling rabbit and rodent molars.<br />
The best method is the use of side cutting burs. Our rabbit bur kit includes<br />
2 of each of the most useful handpiece burs which fit the 1:1 straight nose<br />
cone. They are housed in a custom made stainless block which also has<br />
holes for your favourite friction grip burs for the high speed. To minimise<br />
damage to the cheek and tongue, a soft tissue protector is highly<br />
recommended. The soft tissue protector and burs were developed by David<br />
Crossley. See our rodent dentistry section page 153 for further details.<br />

Handpieces<br />
1:1 Attachment and Contra Angle (Latch) Head<br />
High Speed Handpiece<br />
iM3 Pushbutton<br />
Running with high speed and low torque this handpiece is designed to<br />
remove tooth or bone as part of extraction or repair techniques. Use of<br />
Roto Pro burs (see page 142) allows the high speed to be used as an<br />
ultrasonic scaler for tartar removal. Only Friction Grip burs fit the high<br />
speed. Fine water jets cool the bur. The fibre optic version illuminates the<br />
operative area with a brilliant cold light. Available as push button or<br />
leverlock. The leverlock action of Midwest is very reliable and makes bur<br />
tightening virtually foolproof in that no judgement is required<br />

The 1:1 attachment pushes directly onto the low speed motor and<br />
transmits actual motor speed to the head fitting (it has a blue band). The<br />
head may be either a prophy head or a contra angle (right angle) head.<br />
The contra angle head offers a higher torque than the high speed. The<br />
speed is limited to 24,000rpm. A range of contra burs is available as bur kit<br />

Low Speed Motor<br />
Screw On<br />
Running with low speed (24.000 rpm) and high torque, this motor is used<br />
to drive several dental accessories e.g. straight nose cone, prophy heads<br />
and the latch head. The motor has forward and reverse, controlled by a<br />
collar near the motor base. The accessories listed will also fit directly onto<br />
electric drive micromotors such as the Nouvag NM300 see page 144.<br />
LOW SPEED MOTOR<br />
L698 Lynx Low Speed Motor Only £301.72<br />
Straight Nose Cone<br />
This accessory pushes directly onto<br />
the low speed motor and drives a<br />
range of handpiece (HP) burs and the<br />
diamond disc. This combination is<br />
used to cut rabbit teeth and drill holes<br />
in bone. In addition HP burs may be<br />
used in the straight nose in spinal<br />
procedures. 6,000rpm is the<br />
recommended maximum speed for<br />
prophy cups. If using an air driven unit<br />
we advise the 4:1 reduction straight<br />
nose cone (green/green band). If using<br />
an electric micromotor the 1:1 may be<br />
used but turn the maximum speed<br />
down to 6000rpm.<br />

Snap On<br />
The 4:1 attachment gears down the low speed to around 6000rpm with<br />
very high torque which is the best speed for polishing teeth. It has a green<br />
band and is used to drive prophy heads. We recommend the screw-on type<br />
prophy cups.<br />
Prophy cups are used in conjunction with abrasive prophy paste to polish<br />
teeth following scaling. Failure to polish will result in a rapid build up of new<br />
plaque.<br />
Screw On Prophy Head<br />
Far fewer problems with hair and prophy paste.<br />
Snap On Prophy Head<br />
Widely used but has some problems in veterinary dentistry. Muzzle hair<br />
becomes caught behind the ‘button’ and when combined with prophy<br />
paste quickly degrades the head.<br />

Oscillating Prophy Head<br />
Roto-Pro Burs<br />
Developed for human dentistry to combat the risk of HIV the disposable<br />
prophy head is surprisingly cheap and minimises the risk of FeLV and FIV<br />
transmission. The oscillating action means there is no heat build-up on the<br />
tooth surface and ‘snagging’ on muzzle hair is minimal. Available in packs of<br />
25 or 100. The oscillating disposable prophy fits onto the straight nose cone<br />
to achieve the correct running speed. Use 4:1 nose cone with air equipment<br />
which takes the speed down to a maximum of 6,000rpm. Electrical<br />
micromotors can use the 1:1 nose cone provided the maximum speed is<br />
adjusted down to 6,000rpm. Use coarse prophy paste for best results.<br />

When run in a high speed handpiece roto-pro burs produce vibrations at<br />
20,000 cycles per second. These burs are very effective for removing<br />
calculus. The action is quite aggressive so care must be exercised.<br />

Useful Burs<br />
Each dental bur has its own unique code which is made up of the shaft type<br />
followed by the head number followed by the material it is made of, e.g. FG<br />
702 D is a Friction Grip Bur (for the high speed hand piece), the 702 head<br />
is a taper fissure cross cut and is made of Diamond.<br />
Diamond burs create less heat and last longer.<br />

Canine teeth<br />
Maxillary premolars and molars<br />
Incisors, particularly maxillary<br />
No more film taped to tongue depressors or forceps which have to be hand<br />
held or propped.<br />
Once set the operator can leave the radiation zone.<br />
Minimises elongation, shortening, overlapping of teeth on the x-ray.<br />
May be used with beam limiting devices (cones) or standard collimators.<br />
Accomodates standard film, computed (CR) film and digital (DDR) film.<br />
Lightweight aluminium construction.<br />
Small animal dental radiography is vital to the successful diagnosis and<br />
treatment of dental disease. Obtaining accurate intra-operative films can be<br />
a challenge without the correct technique.<br />
Bisecting Angle Imaging is a well established technique in both human and<br />
veterinary dentistry. With this approach even difficult to reach teeth may be<br />
correctly radiographed. The patented Cochran Bisecting Angle Positioner<br />
ensures correct postioning of the film every time.<br />
What is the Bisecting Angle<br />
In any 90 degree arc there is one angle at which the x-ray beam will<br />
accurately shadow the tooth on the film (see illustration below). This is the<br />
bisecting angle: the bisection of angle between the long axis of the tooth<br />
and the film. The X-ray beam is positioned at 90 degrees to the bisecting<br />
angle for an undistorted image.<br />

IM3 White Stone Slip<br />
Wedge Elevator<br />
This stone has both flat and rounded surfaces to sharpen elevators and<br />
curettes. Use baby oil as lubricant.<br />
Designed to remove the Upper Premolar IV (the carnassial) without the<br />
need to split the tooth. The tooth roots are elevated in the usual manner<br />
using carnivore elevators or luxators. The tip of the wedge is drilled through<br />
between rostral and posterior roots. The blade of the instrument is then<br />
worked under the tooth. As the width of the blade increases the tooth is<br />
forced from the alveolus. The triangular cross section of the blade supports<br />
the structure of the tooth during extraction.<br />

Carnivore Elevator<br />
Double Ended Elevator<br />
The curved tips are designed to follow the concave and convex curvatures<br />
of the roots, helping to prevent breaking the roots.<br />
Removal of the teeth of dogs and cats requires rupture of the periodontal<br />
ligament. In relatively healthy roots rupture is very difficult, requiring great<br />
force. Rupture (and therefore extraction) is best achieved by forcing an<br />
elevator or luxator into the periodontal space. In the dog and cat the space is<br />
very narrow, quite different to the human situation. Our carnivore elevators<br />
are thin and very sharp.<br />

<strong>Veterinary</strong> elevators designed by Dr Robert Wiggs. They have short winged<br />
blades with lateral edges which curve upwards further than traditional<br />
elevators, improving conformation to the root structure as well as instrument<br />
control. The narrow neck enhances visibility of the root and the shorter shaft<br />
improves handling and control, especially if the operators hands are not<br />
large. The design incorporates the best parts of an elevator and a luxator.<br />
Aluminium knurled handles are very comfortable in use. Flattened surface<br />
prevents rolling off the table. Available as a boxed set.<br />

Tartar Forceps<br />
These tartar forceps are designed specifically for the removal of bulky tartar<br />
prior to scaling and polishing. One jaw is cup shaped to locate onto the<br />
tooth tip and act as a fulcrum for the other jaw. The other jaw is a sharp<br />
hook to engage the tartar at the gum margin. The jaws are designed to<br />
remove tartar from both flat surfaces and between teeth.<br />

Removal of fragmented roots can be a challenge particularly if the roots<br />
themselves are healthy. A combination of elevation and forcep work is<br />
usually required. The set of three forceps with differing jaw angles covers all<br />

As well as firmly gripping the tooth to be extracted appropriate dental<br />
forceps should support the tooth structure. None of the several hundred<br />
human forceps available suit the teeth of our patients. The Hawksbill<br />

Management of chronic local infections may benefit from the insertion of<br />
antibiotic impregnated polymethacrylate (AIPMMA) beads. The beads are<br />
manufactured from sterile bone cement with the addition of appropriate<br />
antibiotic.<br />
Indications include osteomyelitis and abcessation in the rabbit.<br />
<strong>Veterinary</strong> <strong>Instrumentation</strong> offers two kits for the preparation of AIPMMA<br />
beads. One kit uses cement with no antibiotic; choice of antibiotic will<br />
depend upon bacteriology and sensitivity. The other kit uses cement<br />
containing gentamycin which is the preferred choice of antibiotic for many<br />
infections but is toxic when administered parenterally. Both kits contain<br />
sufficient material for approximately 100 beads. Full instructions are<br />
included.<br />

<strong>Veterinary</strong> <strong>Instrumentation</strong> Range<br />
VI Type biopsy needle - BMBJV11<br />
BMBJV18A<br />
In the Jamshidi type needle the integral stylet locks into the lumen of the<br />
needle preventing obstruction by debris. When the needle tip is in the<br />
desired location the stylet is removed and the sample aspirated.<br />
The 11gauge needle with the stylet removed may be used to take a 1.5mm<br />
approx. core of bone from tumours for typing. (see also bone trephines).<br />
A very good web page on the harvesting of bone marrow can be found at:<br />
www.vetmed.wsu.edu/courses_samdx/bm.htm<br />
8 gauge<br />
Designed as a cost effective version of the Baxter needles (below left),<br />
takes both marrow and core samples. Drive into a suitable site (wing of<br />
ilium, tuber ischium, proximal femur), pull back a little, withdraw stylet and<br />
aspirate. If there is no aspirate, replace stylet, push in further and repeat.<br />
Manufactured to our specification, these needles represent excellent value.<br />

This procedure is usually well tolerated by the rabbit under sedation and<br />
local anaesthetic eye drops. The angle and lengths of standard ophthalmic<br />
cannula are incorrect for this procedure.<br />
<strong>Veterinary</strong> <strong>Instrumentation</strong>’s Rabbit Lachrymal Duct Cannula is designed<br />
especially for this procedure and is available in two sizes, 19 gauge and 21<br />

Oral Dosing Needles<br />
Where vascular access is difficult, fluids and most drugs can be<br />
administered via this interosseus infusion needle. This process is<br />
particularly useful in neonates and birds where blood vessels are very<br />
small. The most common site is the proximal femur via the trochanteric<br />
fossa. An IV catheter should be placed as soon as practical. Also used as a<br />
small bone marrow aspiration needle in the Jamshidi style.<br />

Needles<br />
Surgi-Close Skin Staplers<br />
Over 80% of human surgical wounds involve the use of skin staplers. In<br />
veterinary surgery less than 10% of surgeries utilise skin staples. The use of<br />
skin staplers has been limited in veterinary surgery due to the high cost of<br />
disposable human skin staplers. The use of sutures with needle packs has<br />
been less expensive to close the skin. The introduction of Surgi-Close<br />
stapling system addresses the specific needs of the veterinary surgeon.<br />
Features:<br />
• Autoclavable stapler-handle that can be re-used<br />
• Staple cartridges (20/pack) cost less than a pack of needle sutures<br />
• A huge saving over conventional throw away skin staples<br />
• Both handle and staples are provided sterile.<br />
The benefits of using any skin stapler are widely known and<br />
accepted in human surgery:<br />
• Better apposition of skin edges with better cosmetic result<br />
• Less reactivity of stainless steel staples<br />
• Significantly faster wound closure with staples<br />
• Ease of learning proper technique<br />
The Surgi-Close Stapler in Use:<br />
• Staple cartridges are inserted into the handle<br />
• After use the handle can be autoclaved for repeated use<br />
• Staple cartridges are especially designed to reduce jamming<br />
• Staple length is 5.75mm, a better length for the thickness of animal skin<br />
versus very thin human skin<br />
• The 20 staples provided per cartridge are sufficient for a 10cm to 13cm<br />
incision<br />
• A closed staple has a square shape that restricts the movement or rolling<br />
of a staple.<br />

The limbs of small animal veterinary patients are typically much smaller<br />
than their human counterparts. Most bandage scissors are designed for the<br />
human limb. <strong>Veterinary</strong> bandage scissors should be lower in profile to get<br />
between bandage and skin and, for ease of use, need to be slightly<br />
straighter than standard human bandage scissors.<br />
Our <strong>Veterinary</strong> Bandage Scissors meet these requirements and make<br />
dressing removal much easier.<br />

Instrument Care<br />
Introduction<br />
Stainless steel instruments are not made from the same material as bone<br />
plates and pins. In order to take an edge and be hardened stainless type<br />
420 has a high carbon content. Instruments will rust and stain under<br />
adverse conditions.<br />
With appropriate care your surgical instruments will last a lifetime. The key<br />
elements are cleaning, lubrication and dry storage. Baked on biological<br />
residues will cause rusting , breakage and invalidation of warranties. Our<br />
recommended programme of surgical instrument care is available at the<br />
following website address: www.vetinst.com/instrumentcare.htm<br />
<strong>Veterinary</strong> <strong>Instrumentation</strong> has a network of specialists who can repair any<br />
surgical instrument. Send the damaged item to us and we will advise if it is<br />
worth repairing.<br />
Routine sharpening and setting of scissors is performed quickly and<br />
professionally in our own workshop by Len Richardson, instrument maker<br />
with over 55 years of experience.<br />

and more importantly, working well. Ultrasonic action can clean out those<br />
nooks and crannies, including wide box joints, which normal cleaning<br />
cannot penetrate. Accumulations of blood in instrument joints cause<br />
corrosion and stiffening. Available in a range of sizes to suit your<br />
circumstances.<br />
All units include timer and heater, both of which are essential. We<br />
recommend the use of Rapidex and Rapizyme as ultrasonic cleaning agents.<br />

Melag Autoclaves<br />
After a lot of research and discussions with users we have selected the<br />
MELAG Vakuklav 23-B as representing the best combination of<br />
specification, ease of use and value. MELAG is a family run concern with<br />
decades of experience in designing and producing autoclaves. Melag<br />
autoclaves are backed up by a UK wide network of engineers. For extra<br />
rapid cycle times consider the Melag Cheeta class autoclave.<br />
Little Sister type autoclaves are designed to sterilise non wrapped solid<br />
items on open trays. This type of autoclave is classified as type N and in<br />
human practice it is not permitted for sterilisation of wrapped instruments<br />
(even in autoclave bags) or hollow instruments for fear that the steam will<br />
not fully penetrate.<br />
To ensure full penetration of steam a vacuum cycle must first remove the<br />
air from the chamber. Type B autoclaves are the highest specification<br />
machines and are suitable for the sterilisation of all wrapped or non -<br />
wrapped, solid, hollow and porous products. In addition the Type B<br />
autoclaves produce dry packs and instruments, which minimises staining<br />
and corrosion of instruments.<br />
In human hospitals it is a requirement that printed records are created and<br />
kept of each cycle. Now that MRSA infections are also appearing in<br />
veterinary practice it would seem reasonable that we should do the same.<br />
Why MELAG<br />
Conformation - International regulation prEN13060/1-4 categorises<br />
autoclaves as types N, S and B according to their operational parameters<br />
and intended applications. All Melag autoclaves conform.<br />
Independent Validation - Melag Type B autoclaves have been<br />
independently validated by a leading German University and have exceeded<br />
the requirements of prEN13060/1-4 for Class B Autoclaves.<br />
Water Purity - Only the best quality demineralised or sterile water should<br />
be used to avoid autoclave malfunction and possible long term damage.<br />
Melag type B machines automatically check water quality before each<br />
cycle. If the sterilising water contains impurities the autoclave will inform<br />
the operator and prevent use of the contaminated water. This feature is<br />
unique to Melag and significantly contributes to Melag’s enviable<br />
reputation for long term reliability and longevity.<br />
Water Cycle - Melag type B autoclaves allow the user a choice of either<br />
one-way or water recirculation. With either system the autoclave will<br />
inform the user when refilling or draining is required<br />
Simplicity - Simple push button operation. With its large back lit<br />
alphanumeric display Melag informs the user of the cycle chosen and<br />
stages reached within the cycle.<br />
Comprehensive cycles - The user has a wide choice of cycles for different<br />
load types.<br />
Documentation - For security every Melag Type B machine includes a<br />
printer which comprehensively documents every cycle and sterilizing event.<br />
Alternatively each Melag B can be supplied with MelaWin software which<br />
runs unobtrusively in the background. This programme archives every<br />
cycle. These are available for printing and examination.<br />
Reliability and longevity - All Melag autoclaves are manufactured from the<br />
highest quality materials available. Pressure chambers and doors are<br />
manufactured from stainless steel, pressure lines and pipes from Teflon<br />
and all other parts in contact with water from bronze. Door seals are<br />
manufactured from long life silicon. Lifetime chamber guarantee. Melag<br />
recommended service intervals are 1000 cycles or 2 years whichever is<br />
shorter.<br />

Melag Cheetah Class Autoclaves<br />
The new Cheetah Class Autoclave series from Melag<br />
represents the forefront of Bench Top Autoclave<br />
technology. With their unique auxiliary wrap around<br />
second chamber the Cheetah Class effectively minimizes<br />
NCG’s (Non Condensable Gasses) to a level only<br />
previously seen in hospital based autoclaves. The result<br />
in steam quality and cycle times has never before been seen in a<br />
Bench Top Autoclave. All units Class B compliant.<br />
The Melag Cheetah Type 43-B operates at an incredible<br />
cycle time of only 13 minutes for WRAPPED instruments<br />
INCLUDING drying time. This is reduced to only 7 minutes<br />
for UNWRAPPED instruments INCLUDING drying.<br />
Imagine, by the time you have taken to read the autoclave<br />
section of this catalogue the Cheetah 43-B will have<br />
started its second cycle!<br />
Obviously speed is not everything and the Melag Cheetah<br />
range also provides user friendly documentation of every<br />
cycle and event via the removable Flash Card or by use<br />
of its standard Ethernet connection.<br />
The Melag Cheetah range is fully compliant with all<br />
current legislation and all pending legislation.<br />
Extremely simple to use, the Melag Cheetah range must<br />
be considered for all practices serious about sterility and<br />
the equipment they use.<br />

Osteotome Sharpening<br />
All sharpening may be performed using the two basic operations of honing<br />
and disc. The hone-drive is a reciprocating motion that sharpens in the<br />
same manner as hand honing. The disk-drive uses a selection flat disks for<br />
high speed sharpening. A Diamond Plated Disk is supplied for very dull or<br />
misshapen instruments, rubberized Silicon Carbide Disk for an ultra-fine<br />
honing finish and a Leather for polishing and razor edges.<br />
Sharpening Curette<br />
Osteotomes should be sharpened at the angle indicated. A greater angle<br />
does not make a clean cut and a reduced angle is too delicate and will<br />
distort. The diamond card illustrated uses water as a lubricant.<br />

Most veterinary autoclaves sterilise cloth drapes unreliably. Packs<br />
containing materials should be autoclaved using a vacuum autoclave.<br />
Disposables provide an alternative in that they require no cleaning,<br />
laundering, folding, packing and autoclaving.<br />
The cost is no longer prohibitive particularly when bought by the case.<br />

Stephens Anaesthetic Machine<br />
The Stephens is still available new and we usually have fully refurbished<br />
units in stock at a sensible price. The low consumption of volatile and<br />
oxygen make the Stephens particularly economical. Existing users swear by<br />
the Stephens.<br />
The Stephens is a closed circuit anaesthetic machine with the advantages<br />
of simplicity of operation and very low running costs. Relatively expensive<br />
new anaesthetic agents such as SEVOFLURANE may be used economically<br />
with this system. The Stephens is supplied, as illustrated, as a complete<br />
self-contained unit requiring only a supply of oxygen. We are confident you<br />
will be impressed by the simplicity and versatility of the system.<br />
Fluosorber<br />
The Fluosorber<br />
absorbs all organic<br />
volatiles including<br />
Halothane and<br />
Isoflurane. The<br />
absorbed volatile is<br />
discarded with the<br />
exhausted Fluosorber<br />
after an increase in<br />
weight of 200g.<br />
The Fluosorber is<br />
ideal for situations<br />
where there is no<br />
convenient outside<br />
wall. The STEPHENS<br />
wastes so little<br />
volatile agent that the<br />
combination is ideal.<br />
Fluosorbers are<br />
cheaper in bulk (6).<br />

Conventional ‘Tec’ Vapouriser Systems<br />
Although based on a circle system, the internal resistance to breathing of<br />
this circuit is very low. This is due to the extremely lightweight valves used<br />
in the uni-directional assembly. These valves are not spring loaded as is the<br />
case with many circle systems. Any animal which can be intubated may be<br />
safely anaesthetised using the Stephens system. Miniature dogs and cats<br />
do particularly well.<br />
Circuit dead space is also very low. Fresh gas is available at the "Y" mount.<br />
Rebreathing is minimal.<br />
The anaesthetic circuit is of the circle type, with the vapouriser placed<br />
within the circuit on the inspiratory side. Most anaesthetic systems in use<br />
in the UK today have the vapouriser out of circuit. A video illustrating the<br />
use of the Stephens with various species and Isoflurane is available on free<br />
loan.<br />
In an apparatus of this type the animal inhales gas from the reservoir bag.<br />
Some or all of the inhaled gas can be caused to flow over the volatile liquid<br />
anaesthetic agent contained within the vapouriser. After leaving the<br />
vapouriser, the gas mixture passes along the inspiratory side of the circle to<br />
a mask or endotracheal tube and then to the animal's lungs. On exhalation<br />
the gas is directed along the expiratory side of the circle, through the two<br />
soda lime canisters and then into the reservoir bag by means of a set of<br />
unidirectional valves.<br />
We are able to maintain any Stephens.<br />

Anaesthetic machines using calibrated "TEC" type vapourisers deliver into<br />
the circuit a gas mixture containing a specified percentage of volatile. In<br />
non-rebreathing circuits the patient will breathe this exact mixture. In<br />
circuits where some rebreathing occurs, the gas mix will not be the same as<br />
dialed on the vapouriser.<br />

Twin Gas/Twin Vapouriser Anaesthetic Machines<br />
Changes in the way the<br />
NHS funds hospitals has<br />
NEW<br />
led to a large number of<br />
very good anaesthetic units<br />
becoming available at<br />
bargain prices. We have<br />
selected the best, some<br />
new, some used. All the<br />
machines are thoroughly<br />
checked by trained<br />
technicians and have brand<br />
new gas lines fitted. All will<br />
work with piped gas or<br />
bottled gas. All will take up<br />
to two vapourisers via a<br />
quick release Selectetec<br />
fitting. Some have<br />
ventilators and circle<br />
absorbers already fitted.<br />
All are much better than<br />
new so called veterinary<br />
units.<br />

iM3 Masks<br />
iM3 masks are designed for rapid induction of anaesthesia with a minimum<br />
of fuss and minimum pollution. They all have the following features.<br />
• Very low dead space, important when masking down using circle systems<br />
• Removeable rubber diaphragm which minimises gas leaks and permits<br />
cleaning.<br />
• Made from virtually indestructable pvc which will not degrade like the<br />
latex rubber type.<br />
• Clear plastic allows visualisation of patient’s muzzle.<br />
• Buy a full set (5) and get a free resuscitation bag, small - see page 194.<br />

A trained nurse and a re-breathing bag is perhaps the ideal ventilator for<br />
most veterinary practice. However, hospital standards are now demanding<br />
mechanical ventilators. We try to keep at least one ex-hospital ventilator in<br />
stock which offers a very high specification at a reasonable price.<br />
Exact models and specifications vary so please phone for details.

Intubation of certain breeds of certain species can be very<br />
difficult without the appropriate laryngoscope. Deflection of<br />
soft tissues and a light source makes life very much easier. In a<br />
crisis e.g. a blue brachycephalic, the appropriate laryngoscope<br />
will be a life saver. <strong>Veterinary</strong> <strong>Instrumentation</strong> recommends<br />
Miller blades. Our fibre optic system uses a remote single bulb<br />
producing a cold light at the blade tip.<br />
For emergency artificial respiration. The device is ideal for administering<br />
either pure oxygen or room air to oxygen deprived patients. A special valve<br />
allows lung inflation on compression of the bag and passive exhalation of<br />
CO2 whilst fresh air refills the bag. Can be used with a standard<br />
endotracheal tube or an airtight mask.<br />

ANAESTHESIA & MONITORING 19<br />
Feline Breathe Easy-Inhalant Delivery<br />
NEW<br />
Monitoring<br />
Increasing sophistication of monitors leads nurses to monitor the<br />
instruments rather than the patient. Simple respiratory monitoring plus a<br />
competent nurse offers the most reliable patient monitoring. <strong>Veterinary</strong><br />
<strong>Instrumentation</strong> offers two simple monitors to fulfill this role.<br />
Apalert Respiration Monitor<br />
Feline asthma is increasingly recognised in small animal practice. Existing<br />
treatments include oral corticosteroids and bronchodilators. These regimes<br />
are far from ideal due to side effects or poor owner compliance.<br />
Metered Dose Inhalers (MDI) have been the treatment of choice for human<br />
asthmatics for many years. Inhaled medication has been shown to be more<br />
effective with fewer side effects. It is now possible to use these agents in<br />
cats with our unique aerosol chamber designed for cats. The chamber<br />
works with standard human MDIs and works well with the small tidal<br />
volume of feline patients. Patients quickly accept the system.<br />
The kit comes complete with two masks. Chamber is 11cm x 4.5cm,<br />
(4.5” x 1.75”)<br />
Respiratory arrest almost always precedes cardiac arrest in an anaesthetic<br />
emergency. Prompt action at the point of respiration failure will usually save<br />
the patient. The APALERT is:<br />
• Reliable. It beeps at each breath and the display shows the interval since<br />
the last breath.<br />
• Rechargeable approx 70hrs use. You can still use it as it recharges.<br />
• Adjustable by beep volume and sensitivity<br />
• Alarming. The alarm gets louder if you ignore it. The alarm can be reset by<br />
the surgeon using magic eye facility without compromising sterility.<br />
This unit saves lives with a minimum of fuss.<br />

FELINE BREATHE EASY<br />
025700 Feline Breathe Easy Kit £20.00<br />
This tiny monitor is a simple apnea alert monitor. The microprocessor<br />
beeps with every breath.<br />
• Highly sensitive.<br />
• Easy to use - just connect between the endotracheal tube<br />
and anaesthesia circuit.<br />
• No adjustments. A sophisticated alogorithm will recognise and indicate<br />
with a beep every breath from a kitten to St Bernard.<br />
• Apnea Alert. If your patient fails to breathe for 45 seconds a distinctive<br />
apnea alert will sound.<br />
• Auto shut off.<br />
• High density long-life lithium battery will last for years.<br />

Doppler Ultrasonic Blood Flow Monitor<br />
Medifusion MP-1000<br />
Non-invasive blood pressure monitoring. Hypertension is often overlooked<br />
during diagnosis, treatment and routine physical examinations in small<br />
animals. In addition many hypotensive patients, such as those suffering from<br />
shock, benefit greatly from Doppler measurement of blood pressure when<br />
knowing the pressure can mean effective and timely treatment.<br />
Combining Doppler with an appropriate sized 'cuff' for small animals,<br />
provides the veterinarian with the same non-invasive method for testing<br />
blood pressure as is available in human medicine. A small probe is placed<br />
over a peripheral artery (e.g digital or coccygeal). An ultrasonic crystal in the<br />
probe transmits pulse wave sound back to the amplifier. The pressure cuff<br />
is inflated until the pulse sound is no longer audible. The cuff is slowly<br />
deflated, using the manometer, until pulse sounds are audible once more, at<br />
which point the manometer displays a numeric value of the animal's systolic<br />
pressure.<br />
Lightweight hand-held unit; high quality, vet spec sphygmomanometer.<br />
Comes complete with 2 cuffs (2.5cm and 5.0cm). Runs on 9 volt battery.<br />
Complete with headset and carrying case. All consumables are available.<br />

The Video Diagnostic System is a new generation of endoscopic video<br />

within one unit. Similarly, both cold light and camera electronics are<br />
integrated into one cable. The camera head is fitted with the TWIN Lock<br />

• Otoscope<br />
• Vaginoscope<br />
• Gastroscopes and endoscopes<br />
• Rigid endoscopes<br />
• Dentalscope<br />
Examination of the ears of dogs and cats is part of the daily routine in small<br />
animal practice. Owner and surgeon can view the same monitor screen, the<br />
explanation of clinical findings is made very much easier. At any time it is<br />
possible to introduce a biopsy or a grasping forceps through the working<br />
channel.<br />
Mutual, real time observation (with freeze frame option) of the ear canal<br />
can demonstrate to the owner a serious problem not normally visible . Poor<br />
owner compliance is recognised as a common reason for treatment failure.<br />
Viewing the problem together leads to much more committment by the<br />
owner.<br />
Cleaning and disinfection is much more convenient and faster, compared<br />
with conventional otoscopes.<br />

Electrosurgery BiPolar<br />
Clinical Furniture<br />
HF 122 is a complete innovation in the electrosurgery field. It is a high<br />
frequency-electronic scalpel suitable for microcoagulation, small and<br />
medium MonoPolar surgery and BiPolar coagulation. The following<br />
MonoPolar modes of operation are available via the control panel: pure<br />
cutting (CUT), coagulated cutting (COAG), MonoPolar coagulation and<br />
microcoagulation (BLEND). Additionally with BiPolar forceps, bipolar<br />
coagulation and microcoagulation are available.<br />
Safety Alarm<br />
Open Circuit (OC) Alarm warns the user that connection into the neutral<br />
plate has not been made or that the cable is disconnected. The alarm is<br />
signalled with an intermittent beep together with a flashing red light on the<br />
front panel. In this condition HF emission for cut and coagulation operation<br />
is switched off. Meets all EC standards for this type of equipment<br />
Overheat Alarm<br />
Should the final module in the HF generator overheat, the unit incorporates<br />
an internal circuit protection which cuts off operation. In this condition the<br />
red OVH warning light illuminates and the user must wait until the<br />
generator cools down, about 20 sec, before recommencing. The module<br />
will not go into protection mode as long as the instruction for operation as<br />
described in the manual are followed.<br />
Kit includes:<br />
• Two button MonoPolar handle<br />
• Foot control<br />
• Flat neutral plate<br />
• 6 short MonoPolar electrodes<br />

The Float Coat has a durable nylon shell with an ergonomic fit. The coat<br />
has high buoyancy and a low profile assistance handle. The handle and coat<br />
are strong enough to support and lift the dog from the water. Secured by<br />
quick release buckles the Float Coat is supplied in yellow and black. Also<br />
useful for dogs who love the water but are not as strong a swimmer as they<br />
used to be.<br />

Resco Guillotine Type<br />
Identification rings placed on show rabbits can occlude the venous return<br />
from the distal hind limb with disastrous results. Removal of the ring<br />
without causing additional damage and pain to the limb is very difficult<br />
without these purpose designed cutters. Once the notched jaws are<br />
engaged on the ring, firm pressure may be applied to cut the ring without<br />
fear of the ring "flipping over". Also functions as a <strong>general</strong> purpose canine<br />
nail cutter.<br />

Parrot Ring Cutters<br />
This device is used by jewellers to remove rings from people’s fingers. The<br />
ring is cut by turning a hardened saw blade. Parrot rings are very tough and<br />
cannot be removed by nail cutters. This cutter will also remove rabbit rings<br />
but bear in mind that the lower blade has to go between skin and ring.<br />
