Dystocia Eye Hook Sharp & Blunt Stainless Steel OB Hook Calving Tools Veterinary Instruments (PAIR)

Description:

The Dystocia Eye Hook set is designed for precision manipulation of the fetus during difficult births in cattle, horses, and other large livestock. The Blunt Hook is used for live fetuses to apply traction to the medial canthus or the mandible without causing permanent injury, while the Sharp Hook is reserved for cases involving a dead fetus where a more aggressive grip is required for extraction. Made from high-grade, surgical-grade stainless steel, these hooks feature a finger-loop or eyelet at the base to attach OB chains or ropes. Their compact, curved design allows for easy insertion into the birth canal, providing a secure anchor point to correct malpresentations.

 Features:

• High-Grade Stainless Steel: Forged from corrosion-resistant surgical steel to withstand frequent sterilization and exposure to biological fluids.
• Dual-Type Set: Includes both sharp and blunt tips to accommodate different clinical scenarios and fetal statuses.
• Mirror Polished Finish: Ensures a smooth surface that reduces friction and prevents unnecessary trauma to the mother’s vaginal walls.
• Tapered Design: Specifically curved to fit into the anatomical crevices of the fetal skull or limbs for maximum grip.
