Mouth Gag Wooden I Veterinary Instrument | Pack of 1 Pcs.

Description:

The Wooden Mouth Gag is a time-tested veterinary instrument used primarily in large ruminants like cattle and buffalo. Crafted from dense, high-quality treated hardwood, this tool is designed to provide a safe bypass for oral instruments through the animal’s powerful jaws. Its primary feature is a precision-drilled center hole, which acts as a protective conduit for stomach tubes, drenching pipes, or bolus applicators. By placing the gag in the animal’s mouth, the veterinarian prevents the animal from biting down on and damaging expensive medical tubing or injuring the practitioner’s hands. The wooden construction is preferred by many for its “warm” feel, which is less likely to startle the animal than cold metal, and its natural grip which reduces slipping against saliva.

Features:

• Durable Hardwood Construction: Made from seasoned, high-density wood that is resistant to splintering and can withstand significant crushing force.
• Precision Center Guide Hole: Features a perfectly centered, smooth-bore hole that accommodates various sizes of stomach tubes and drenching nozzles.
• Non-Conductive Material: The wooden body is naturally non-conductive and holds no temperature extremes, making it more comfortable for the animal in cold or hot weather.
• Moisture-Resistant Treatment: The wood is typically treated with a non-toxic finish to prevent the absorption of saliva and liquid medications.

• Emergency Decompression: Facilitates the quick release of rumen gases by providing a stable path for relief tubes.
• Oral Examination Aid: Allows a safer, though limited, view of the oral cavity by keeping the jaws at a fixed distance.
