Welcome
Dear colleague,
Welcome to the 2008 Veterinary Instrumentation catalogue. We have many
new products and as usual you will find most of these in the orthopaedic
sections. However it is worth glancing at the summary overleaf to gain an
overview of new items.
We use the strapline “designed by vets for vets” for good reason. Many
products in the veterinary market are sourced directly from the human range
with little regard to how they will work in our patients. We work closely with
leading experts in veterinary surgery to bring you products which are
designed specifically for veterinary surgeons and their patients.
We seem to be no nearer finding a definitive treatment for cruciate disease.
There does seem to be a consensus that increasingly we are dealing with a
degenerative condition rather than a simple traumatic rupture. Some of the
long term answers will lie in the discipline of genetics and breeding rather
than surgery. Until we have a clearer view of what is happening we have John Lapish BSc.,
taken the view that we will support all the established techniques for cruciate BVetMed., MRCVS.

products in both orthopaedic and soft tissue sections. Aesculap is well
known for design, reliability and build quality. Our partners Arthrex are
becoming major drivers in canine arthroscopy as shown by their new
products in chapters 1 and 2. Dr Fritz continues to innovate and we have
included a new laparoscopy section in chapter 2 renamed ‘Arthroscopy and
Laparoscopy’. We are pleased to announce that Carl Zeiss, world leaders in
optical systems, has appointed Veterinary Instrumentation as their UK
Veterinary distributors. If you want the best optics then buy Zeiss.
Anaesthetic monitoring continues to advance rapidly. We have introduced a
range of new items in chapter 19 to meet various budgets and requirements.

The Company
Veterinary Instrumentation was founded by John Lapish BSc., BVetMed.,
MRCVS. in 1986. Working in Sheffield as a small animal orthopaedic
surgeon John was frustrated by the lack of appropriate instrumentation for
veterinary surgical procedures. Most of the available instruments at that
time were simply the smaller variants of products designed for use in
human surgery. Living in Sheffield, centre of the UK Surgical Trades, John
was ideally placed to try and develop one or two ideas of his own. So,
working with skilled local instrument makers, John began to develop a
range of instruments (initially for his own use) designed specifically for
veterinary surgery. Requests for these products and suggestions for new
items began to trickle in from colleagues and this reinforced the
conclusion that a need existed for a specialist instrumentation service to
meet the needs of the profession, and small animal orthopaedics in
particular.
Today the Veterinary Instrumentation range of implants and instruments
includes over 4,000 items which are stocked for immediate despatch.
Innovation remains a key part of our activity and John works with leading
veterinary specialists from all over the world to turn new ideas into
practical working instruments.
Our products have the professional backup of veterinary and nursing
personnel to advise on the selection and use of both instruments and
implants. We are always happy to discuss any aspect of instrumentation
and can help locate almost any item.
Website
During 2007 the website has been developed and now has over 3,000
pages of useful information. The website has many training materials
including procedural instructions, training aids, technical papers and free
video downloads. In addition the on-line shop now allows you to purchase
any of our products on your account or by credit card.

for any given breaking strain. For example Ande 80lb line is 0.9mm in
diameter whereas the 80lb Mason line is 1.1mm in diameter.
We are pleased to be able to offer Mason line in all the standard line,

FREE INSTRUCTIONAL DVD
Phone 0845 130 9596 or email info@vetinst.com
Based on the work of Slocum, Tepic and Montavon, the Triple Tibial
Osteotomy has been developed by Dr Warrick Bruce to overcome some of
the problems encountered in the Slocum TPLO technique, the Montavon
TTA (Tibial Tubercle Advancement) and the closing wedge TPLO
technique.
The technique uses the well established range of closing wedge

osteotomy plates.
Triple Tibial Osteotomy
90˚
Some of the problems include:-

Work by Tepic suggests that the tibial plateau should be perpendicular to
the patella ligament to minimise shear strain at the CrCL. The Slocum
technique does not always address this issue.
The bi-radial Slocum blade is inefficient and difficult to resharpen resulting
in the generation of significant amounts of heat which leads to delayed
healing and other complications. Osteometer and Saw guide
The Montavon TTA technique creates a large defect in the cranial tibia
which requires an expensive titanium cage and plate to prevent collapse
during the healing phase.
The closing wedge TPLO shortens the tibia and creates a defect in the
tibia which has to be protected from the pull of the straight patella ligament
by a figure of eight wire.
The TTO technique deals with all of these problems:-
A long osteotomy is made in the tibial crest to allow the tibial tubercle to
move forward. The angle correction is made by making a small wedge

Plates - Contoured Design for 2008

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

The caudal surface of the stifle lever is contoured to fit the trochlea of large
dogs. The load is dissipated over a large area minimising trauma. The ring
style handle is convenient for retraction by the surgeon using the thumb.
The tip atraumatically hooks behind the caudal aspect of the tibial plateau.

Visualisation of the caudal horns of the meniscus can be a challenge.
Often the process of exposing the caudal horn can result in distortions. A
normal meniscus can look damaged and occasionally a bucket handle tear
can sit back and look normal. It is helpful to gently probe the meniscus to
establish its true condition. Dimensions refer to length of tip. Use 1mm in
dogs < 30k and for dogs >30kg use 2mm. TTO

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

stifle from the tibia. Ideally the two joint surfaces should move away from
each other in a parallel fashion so that the meniscus is exposed in its
natural state and minimally distorted by the examination. One tip is placed
in the intercondylar notch and the other on the cranial intercondylar area.
Neither tip should involve articular cartilage. Test distractions (by
squeezing the handles) will allow the surgeon to find the exact point at
which a full distraction will expose the medial (usually) meniscus. The spin

The principle of the OATS system is the harvesting of a graft of bone plus
articular cartilage from a non-weight bearing area and placing the graft into
a recipient site where the diseased or damaged cartilage has been
removed.
The small joint set is designed as a sterile single use set which facilitates
the identification, recipient socket preparation, and donor harvesting of a
cylindrical osteochondral graft. The recipient socket is prepared with a
guide pin and cannulated drill bit (matched to the donor harvester for an
anatomic press fit).
The set includes a ruler, cannulated drill bit, dual-sided alignment rod,
donor harvester, clear graft delivery tube, oversized tamp, core extruder for
controlled push-in insertion, and an optional graft driver for tap-in insertion. The attachment of the facia lata graft to the distal femur is the weakest part

Introduction
Using fibre optics the arthroscope is able to deliver
light and obtain an image from within the joint thus
obviating the need for an extensive surgical approach
and keeping surgical trauma to soft tissues at a
minimum. However, arthroscopy is not a risk free
procedure as it involves placing sharp metal objects
into the joint space.
Although arthroscopy may be considered expensive in terms of both the

dedicated instrumentation required and the time and money involved in
training, it is recommended that sufficient resources are allocated to
purchase good quality equipment at the outset. (Equipment failures being
very frustrating and ultimately very expensive.)
Dr Fritz, a veterinary surgeon himself, has worked closely with leading

authorities in the field of veterinary arthroscopy (e.g. Van Bree, Van
Ryssen and Lehman) to develop a range of arthroscopic instruments with
our patients in mind.
Arthroscopes
An arthroscope is a rigid endoscope consisting of a system of lenses,
which collects and transmits an image from the tip of the instrument along

The viewing angle is the angle between the lens face and a line drawn at
right angles to the long axis of the arthroscope (see above right).
A 0˚ scope views straight ahead from the front of the lens, while a 90˚
scope sees an image at right angles to the long axis of the scope. Most

Dr Lehman Aiming Device for Light Sources

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

During recent years, as arthroscopy in small animals has developed,
researchers realized the necessity of a specific puncture system to create

an instrument portal in the larger joints. Due to the dense muscle mass in
shoulder joints, creating a puncture for a working cannula is often quite
difficult. If a clean puncture allowing access directly to the joint is not
achieved the first time, the risk of a subsynovial oedema increases greatly,
thus decreasing the time frame to complete the surgery with each failed
puncture. The shoulder puncture system has been specifically designed to
help eliminate this risk. The system allows you to align your arthroscope
accurately in the joint space. Simply attach the puncture system to the
arthroscopic sheaths and maintain your arthroscopic vision in a parallel
direction to the shoulder joint rim. At this point you will find the working
triangulation portal in an ideal position. After a puncture is created with the LK-FX-100 Xenon light source £3,080.00

Monitor
Cameras & Monitors
Direct viewing of the joint through the eyepiece is possible. However,
practicality and the issue of contamination dictate that a camera system is
an essential part of the equipment. Arthroscopic cameras work in a very
similar fashion to video cameras in common usage. The image at the
eyepiece of the arthroscope is focussed on a light responsive electronic
chip(s). The signal created is transferred to a camera controller, which
processes the image into a signal recognized by the monitor and/or
recording system.
Most veterinary cameras have a single chip, which is sufficient for most
users.

Fluid Infusion and Outflow Peristaltic Infusion

Arthroscopy Infusion Pump
Infusion of fluids or gas into the joint is essential to create an environment
in which the arthroscope can view joint structures. The joint must be
expanded and debris removed to maintain a clear field of view.
To maintain an appropriate intra-articular pressure (between 40 and

100mm of mercury) (0.053 and 0.133 BAR) fluid inflow and outflow must
be carefully regulated. Fluid under pressure may be obtained by either
gravity feed systems or a pump. Gravity may be sufficient provided the
fluid bags can be lifted high enough but greater, more controllable
pressure may be obtained by use of a fluid compression bag.
The bag of fluid to be infused is placed into a pressure bag, which is

inflated using a hand or machine pump. Without careful monitoring hand Provided the surgeon is prepared to commit to the purchase of 100 patient

Very Large Fragment Forceps

Fragment Forceps -
Pointed Reduction Forceps
Introduction
Ideal for fragment reduction, these forceps gently hold fragments in
position whilst the permanent fixation is being applied. Particularly useful in
the repair of fractures of the distal femur, acetabulum and distal tibia.
The smaller sizes are useful in the repair of the long bones of the miniature
dog and cat as well as the smaller bones of the distal limbs in large
patients.
001200
For use in situations where a very wide ‘gape' is required or where the bulk
001201
of the instrument must be well away from the jaw tips.
The spin lock version has been recommended for repositioning of the stifle,
prior to placement of a lateral suture wire or nylon in CrCL repair.

When lag screwing, it is often the case that the exact point where screw
placement should be performed is occupied by the point of the reduction
forceps. Twin point fragment forceps are designed to give secure fixation of
bone fragments while allowing drilling and screwing between the jaw points.
Especially useful in repairs of the fractures of the humeral condyles and the
small bones distal to the carpus/hock.

Where delicate reduction of fragments is undertaken, ratchet forceps can

be frustrating in that they do not give as much ‘feel’ as is desirable. The
spinlock version is used initially with the spinlock flipped out giving the
surgeon maximum control. Once in place the spinlock is flipped back into
position and then gently tightened.

Sadly there is no such instrument as a universal bone holding forcep. The
range of sizes and shapes of bones and bone fragments is immense.

Veterinary Pattern
Some fracture reductions require that the bone forceps jaws be angled from
the handles (see photo). Such forceps require:
1. A sophisticated hinge mechanism to allow the jaws to maintain
alignment as they open and close.
2. A special locking device which can cope with the laxity at the hinge.
The spin lock and the special jaw make the instrument very nice to use but

stiffer than the original cast Slocum plates.

crest transplant. The design allows for transection of the tibial crest while
retaining distal periosteal attachments. Also useful for articular cartilage
removal in arthrodesis, digit and tail amputations.

Self Retaining Retractors
Where scrubbed surgical assistance is lacking, self retaining retractors are
an invaluable aid.
Adequate retraction is essential for good visualisation of the fracture site or
lesion. In addition retraction will minimise damage to the soft tissues. Both
are key elements of successful orthopaedic surgery.

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

German Shepherd, Boxer and Pembroke Corgi. It is a difficult condition to
manage either medically or surgically. Whilst the progression of the
degeneration can be delayed by dietary supplements, treatment options
are very limited. Sooner or later the control over the hind limb deteriorates
to the point where walking and particularly turning is difficult. Excoriation of
the toes and dorsal surface of the foot typically follows. Affected dogs are
well in themselves and owners are often highly motivated. Keeping the dog
as active as possible is important to delay progression. The Biko physio
brace has been developed to assist the dog in walking and turning for as
long as possible. The system is based on elastic straps which run from a
chest harness to the hind feet. As the the hind foot reaches the end of the
stride and the weight is transferred to the opposite foot the strap helps to
bring the trailing foot straight forward ready for the next stride thereby
compensating for the loss of muscle tone.
Dogs suffering from nerological deficits, both temporary and permanent,
due to disc pathology will also benefit from the Biko brace.
The brace is simple to apply and is tolerated very well. Dogs resume useful
levels of activity significantly improving the length and the quality of their
lives. The physiotherapy occurs whenever the dog is walking which makes Biko Kit includes:

Connecting Bars Split Clamp

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

Vumex Distraction Unit
The Vumex external fixation system is particularly appropriate for small

dogs and cats together with rabbits, guinea pigs and exotics. The system
is very lightweight. The bars are knurled for maximum grip and are easily
contoured. The grub screw pushes the bar against the pin which is locked
with a minimum of three point fixation.
The distraction devices are self contained and very effective in small
fragment distraction. The fishmouth type does not require that the pin
passes through the clamp prior to attaching the distractor. The clamps will
‘grab’ pins from 1.6mm up to 3.2mm.

ESF Hinge Trochar Pins

Trochar
Our Trochar pins have a special long point designed to cut bone. Use of
pins with short trochar tips generates heat which leads to pin loosening.
The smooth shanks of the pins provide minimal pull out resistance.
Trochar pins should, therefore, be placed at converging or diverging
angles compared to other pins in the same bone fragment.

The thread on this pin is similar to a self-tapping cortical screw. The drilling tip
is, again, the long Trochar. In young bone, use without pre-drilling; in older,
hardened bone, use smaller pilot hole.
The much improved pull out resistance means that these pins can be placed
parallel within the same bone fragment; useful when fragment is smaller or
when aligning proximal and distal fragments. More prone to pin fracture than
Ellis pins. Always use three pins on either side of the fracture if possible. The benefits of positive threaded pins in long term ESF frames are well

Correct pin insertion requires slow axial rotation under pressure. A Jacobs
hand chuck can be used particularly where bone is young and soft. There
Standard Cutters Safety Cutter is a tendency when using a hand chuck to produce a hole which is not
circular, this will reduce the pin/bone interface resulting in premature pin
loosening. The small Jacobs hand chuck gives better control and is big
enough for 2, 3 and 4mm pins.
The ideal instrument in my experience, is the Variable Speed Orthopaedic

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

However, once a bar is in position passing a pin through a clamp into bone
presents a particular difficulty. Standard tissue protectors cannot be

4 EXTERNAL FIXATION
Acrylic Pin External

Fixation System
An Acrylic Pin External Fixator (APEF)
is created by replacing mechanical
connecting clamps and rigid
connecting bars with mouldable acrylic
columns.
APEF is indicated for any fracture or
arthrodesis where a comparable sized
bar/column fixator would be
appropriate. Research has shown the
acrylic columns provide equal or
greater strength when compared to the
traditional K-E designs in all standard
configurations. The illustration shows
use of frame alignment kit APFAK422.
Please bear in mind that, ultimately, the
acrylic has to be poured which will have
implications for the repair.

Epoxy ESF Putty

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

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

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

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

Multi Saw battery powered
The well established Multi saw is also available in a mains powered (240v)
version. This plug in version has the advantage of reliability of power and
significantly the speed of the saw is variable allowing a slow start speed.
The disadvantage is that a flex is not convenient and care should be taken
to eliminate electrical hazards in theatre.
The option of a slow speed is also an advantage when used as a cast saw.
The surgical attachment and blades are common to both battery and
mains powered saws.

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

is supplied as a kit including charger, battery and gypsum type saw blade.
Our stainless attachment converts the multi saw into a surgical saw in a
similar fashion to our orthopaedic drill. With the converter and shroud in
place, all exposed surfaces are sterile. Excellent for total femoral head and
neck excision and TPLO by Tibial Wedge Osteotomy. A wide range of
blades fit the multi saw. We recommend either the Desoutter S82 series or
the Halls 5071 series. The latter offers a slimmer cut 0.8mm c.f. 1.2mm.

A dedicated bur system, the Minos A200 drives a large range of burs at up
to 100,000 rpm. This is the top line instrument in use at most universities
and referral practices. Relatively robust in that the bur is driven by an air
vane. Always use an appropriate length bur guard to protect the bur and

Burs
All surgical burs have a 2.36mm shank (HP fitting) and will fit in all high speed surgical bur machines e.g. 3M's Minos, Halls Surgairtome, Foredom. We
have selected Komet burs for their high quality. All are single pack and non sterile. In human surgery burs are regarded as disposable items. In veterinary
surgery the cost precludes using burs as disposables. However, use of burs which are less than sharp extends procedure time and creates heat. We do
advise that burs are checked and changed on a regular basis.
Diamond burs are sharper and create less heat that carbide equivalents. Adequate irrigation is essential. Please see chart for options and prices.

Aesculap TPLO blades are, as you would expect, engineered to very high
standards and have a number of important features.
• Blade is slightly thicker at the cutting edge which reduces friction and
heat at the level of the blade body.

the single biggest problem associated with TPLO.
• The blade is designed to be resharpened by laser up to 3 times

TPLO Saws and Blades
Slocum TPLO blades create a patented biradial cut which means that the
tibial plateau segment fits the distal tibia section exactly with maximum
bone contact. While this is a good thing the design of the blade does not
cut very efficiently and needs regular hand sharpening if excess heat is not
to be produced. Veterinary Instrumentation has been looking at TPLO
blades for a number of years and is introducing a range of Radial blades
which cut better and are cheaper to replace than the Slocum original. They
have the same triangular stryker connection.

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

The theoretical benefits of a bi-radial blade are well known. However, in
practice the bi-radial blade is not very efficient at cutting bone even when new. 001770

Electric Flexidrive Bur System

Surgery of the spine
Introduction
For the occasional spinal surgeon, this budget system performs very well.
The burs run at 0 - 15,000 rpm controlled via a foot pedal and the flexidrive
is easy to use. Now supplied with removable, autoclavable handpiece. Use
sterile autoclavable film to shroud the flexible shaft. Supplied as a complete
kit including burs and instructions. When you are cutting more than one

Veterinary Instrumentation has assembled a range of hand instruments
and surgical power tools which will enable the veterinary surgeon to
perform most spinal procedures.
The range is such that if you do not know exactly what you require ask for
a selection on a sale or return basis. Simon Wheeler's book is an excellent
guide. The new edition is now available which is even better.

Self-Tapping Cortical Screws

After many years of being advised by AO that self-tapping screws were
unacceptable, it now seems that they are fine and are supplied as self-
tapping cortical screws. The pull out resistance is unaffected provided the
self-tapping flutes sit outside the bone. In our view long holes in hard bone
should be pre-tapped e.g. a trans-condylar screw in the mature humerus or 2.0 Equipment/Screw Box

3.5mm Heavy Duty Plate Round Holes

Although looked down upon by some orthopaedic surgeons, the 9/64" (12mm wide 4mm thick)
Sherman bone screw has a very similar pull out resistance to 3.5mm cortical
screws. The main problem with this screw has been the lack of suitable bone
plates. Our range of 3.5mm round hole bone plates widens the scope of these
self tapping screws considerably. Use flat screwdriver SDF350 or cruciate
screwdriver SDC3500. The head of this screw is conical. It cannot be used in
DCPs to create inter-fragmentary compression.

Compression Plates and Cortical Screws By carefully positioning screws within the special holes of compression
(AO/ASIF type) plates, compression can be exerted at the reduced fracture site as the
screw is tightened. As the spherical head of the screw strikes the rear
edge of the hole in the plate, the screw, (and the attached bone) are forced
away from the edge of the hole and towards the fracture site.
The object of compression is to provide for primary bone union. A special
guide must be used to position accurately the screw hole within the plate.
The oval shaped holes in DCP’s allow a greater range of screw
angulations than round hole plates. Cortical screws are available in both
tapped and self tapping formats.

The description cortical means that the pilot hole must be pre-tapped prior
to screw placement. Cortical Self Tapping means that the screw itself hasa
self tapping tip and cuts its own thread. Self tappers work very well in all
but the hardest cortical bone. It recommended that surgeons using self
tappers keep a tap ‘just in case’.

Taps Adjustable Drill Guide

A tap is essentially a cutting tool designed
to pre-cut screw threads into the pilot hole
prior to screw placement. The profile is
similar to the screw in question but has
long flutes to allow bone debris to be
cleared. Taps are available as stand
alone ‘T’ bar configuration or as a quick
release version which require a separate handle. 2.7, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5 and
6.5mm quick release taps require Synthes type quick release handle. 1.5
and 2.0mm quick release taps require a small dental fit handle.

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

be placed after the lag screw. Before tightening the screw it is a simple
matter to fit the protecting plate over the head of the screw. The screw

trauma. Reducing surgery time will reduce morbidity. Pull out

Self tapping screws are less effective in dense cortical bone. e.g.

Locking Plates Titanium Screws
The head of the locking screw locks into the matching threaded hole in the
plate. The plate is not attached to the bone by being trapped between
screw and bone. Rather the plate and screws form an external fixator
construct just above the bone under the soft tissues. Less stress is placed
on the screw bone interface making this construct ideal where bone stock
is poor. In addition contouring of the plate is much less important. As the

2.0/2.4/2.7 Veterinary Cuttable Plate

Our 3.5/2.7 Hybrid Pantarsal plate has proved very popular. Based on our
7.1mm wide 1.2mm thick
database of manufacturing custom plates for small dogs and cats we are
now in a position to offer two further plates as standard. Surgeons are
encouraged to check the patient’s radiograph against our Pantarsal
Arthrodesis profile sheet on page 248 of this catalogue or as a download
from www.vetinst.com Both are designed for medial application. Lateral This is a familiar plate with a curved 1/4 tubular profile. 300mm long with a
application is acceptable if circumstances dictate. However, you must hole every 6mm. The following screws 2.0mm, 2.2mm, 2.4mm, 2.7mm,

Pancarpal Arthrodesis Plate (Hybrid Plates) Orthopaedic Wire
Cerclage wire is an extremely useful method of fragment fixation. Use as

thick a wire as seems possible. Twist evenly under tension. The best
instrument is our wire twister/cutter 001260 see page 45. Minimise wire
movement on periosteum. Tension wire banding should be performed
where muscular forces must be transferred beyond a fracture or
osteotomy, e.g. Tibial crest avulsion or trochanteric osteotomy. 1.0mm wire
is the most useful. All are supplied in 10 metre rolls.

automatically produces an angle of around 5 degrees. (See page 247 for

Some surgeons prefer greater coverage of the metacarpals than is offered
by our standard plates. We now offer an extra long plate which is designed
to give over 50% coverage of the metacarpal segment.

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

Foreign Body Retrieval Forceps
“One day you will need one of these”

Our family of foreign body retrieval forceps has grown! We now offer a
range of forceps to cover every eventuality from a bone in the
oesophagus of a large dog to a grass seed in a cat trachea.
The forceps may be guided by rigid or flexible endoscopes or

fluoroscopy. In exceptional cases retrieval may be achieved by ‘feel’. It is
helpful to inflate the oesophagus prior to withdrawal of spiky objects.
Video of Alasdair Hotson-Moore of Bristol University locating and
retrieving a bone body may be viewed at www.vetinst.com/videos
The teeth face backwards for maximum grip. When closed the jaws are
atraumatic for minimal damage to the oesophagus or trachea.
The “One day you will need these” reflects our experience of desperate
phone calls which end in us sending a pair of foreign body forceps by
same day courier at great expense.

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

VI Binocular Loupes German optics are the best. Being able to see exactly what you are doing
is half the battle with micro-surgery. Each eyepiece contains a number of
lenses which means that a high magnification of the operating field is
possible while maintaining normal position of the head relative to the

Piezo Scaler with Detachable, Autoclavable Handpiece

Introduction
It is possible to scale and polish using only hand instruments. It is,
however, extremely time consuming. Teeth must be polished after
scaling or plaque and tartar will quickly reform.
Simple scaling and polishing can be accomplished using electrically driven

systems.
A wider range of procedures including tooth sectioning will require an air
driven unit capable of delivering compressed air and water to the
handpieces.
Ultrasonic Scalers
Ultrasonic scalers work by delivering high frequency vibrations to a metal
tip. The vibration may be generated by a variety of mechanisms:
• Sonic. The tip is vibrated using air from the compressor. The action is
very gentle but very slow with cost and anaesthesia implications.
• Magneto restrictive (cavitron type). The tip is vibrated by multiple layered
metal strips and a magnetic field. Typically their type generates a lot of
heat which requires a lot of cooling water. 35-38000Hz.
• Piezo. The movement at the tip is generated by applying a current across
a crystal. Typically uses less water.
• Ferrite Rod. The tip movement is generated by an electrical field around a
ferrite rod. This system is capable of producing higher frequencies up to
42,000Hz.
Veterinary Instrumentation stock Piezo and Ferrite Rod types (iM3 42-12).
We think these are most appropriate for veterinary use.
Please note that all ultrasonic scalers should be used with care as
inappropriate use will result in damage to enamel.
Piezo Scaler
This top of the range piezo unit has a handpiece which is detachable for
cleaning and autoclaving . Separate handpieces may be set up with
different tips. The controls are simple with an LED power readout. Supplied
with 5 different replaceable, scaling tips. This unit is supplied with its own
integrated pressurised water supply system. Alternatively the
USD-L may be plumbed into your dental unit. Automatic frequency
tracking.

Plaque Disclosing Solution
The 42-12 is unlike any other ultrasonic scaler. All other ultrasonic scalers
work on the ‘jack hammer' or scraping movement of the scaler tip. They
need to remain sharp and scrape the tooth
through the movement of the tip. They also
generate a lot of heat and in many
instances are unsuitable for subgingival
scaling because of this. The 42-12 works in
a similar fashion to a water bath instrument
cleaner, where the high frequency
ultrasonic sound lifts the plaque and
calculus, the circular motion of the tip
moves and dislodges loosened debris, which is washed away by the water.
The extremely high frequency, 42,000Hz, and the small tip amplitude
(0.02mm) all contribute to safer, quicker, less traumatic and more effective
scaling.
The shaft of the tip is totally round, made from titanium and has no fixed
scaling position; it scales anywhere within 360 degrees. The shaft touches
the tooth with as much of its length on the tooth as possible and is wiped
back and forth without pressure, as though you are painting the tooth with
a paint brush. More pressure does not improve the scaling. The 42-12 Many owners are very aware of the need for scaling and polishing on a

iM3 Ultra Automatic Handpiece Activators

As soon as you remove the Handpiece from the holder it becomes active
via the foot control. No need to fiddle with switches. Whichever handpiece
you have in your hand will work when you press the foot control.
Suction
Highspeeds and ultrasonics produce a lot of fluid. Removal of fluid
especially from the back of the mouth is desirable to minimise inhalation or
ingestion. The integral suction of the Ultra is there when you need it. Strips
down for easy cleaning and the tips are autoclavable.
CLS High Speed Flush
The coolant system on the iM3 Ultra can be switched between distilled
water and CLS. CLS is used to freshen and disinfect the mouth and as a
cutting aid for high speed burs. In addition the CLS system can be used to
flush the high speed turbine thereby killing any FELV which may have been
sucked in. Flushing is an alternative to handpiece autoclaving which
significantly shortens turbine life.
Corian Topped Storage
The top of an iM3 unit is made from white Corian which is good to look at
and easy to clean. On the Ultra the top lifts up to reveal a large storage area
for handpieces, burs etc. A magnetic zone at the front ‘captures’ burs and
prevents them from falling onto the floor.

Cochran Bisecting Angle Dental X-Ray Positioner Features and Benefits

Suitable for all teeth but especially:
Canine teeth
Maxillary premolars and molars
Incisors, particularly maxillary
No more film taped to tongue depressors or forceps which have to be hand

held or propped.
Once set the operator can leave the radiation zone.
Minimises elongation, shortening, overlapping of teeth on the x-ray.
May be used with beam limiting devices (cones) or standard collimators.
Accomodates standard film, computed (CR) film and digital (DDR) film.
Lightweight aluminium construction.
Small animal dental radiography is vital to the successful diagnosis and

treatment of dental disease. Obtaining accurate intra-operative films can
be a challenge without the correct technique.
Bisecting Angle Imaging is a well established technique in both human and
veterinary dentistry. With this approach even difficult to reach teeth may be
correctly radiographed. The patented Cochran Bisecting Angle Positioner
ensures correct postioning of the film every time.
What is the Bisecting Angle?
In any 90 degree arc there is one angle at which the x-ray beam will
accurately shadow the tooth on the film (see illustration below). This is the
bisecting angle: the bisection of angle between the long axis of the tooth
and the film. The X-ray beam is positioned at 90 degrees to the bisecting
angle for an undistorted image.

Three burs have been selected by David Crossley as being suitable for the
reduction of rabbit and chinchilla molar teeth. Our rabbit bur kit includes
two of each bur in a stainless steel autoclavable block. All are HP fitting to
fit into the straight nose cone (not included). When using the long bur
(HL563) use the soft tissue protector to shield tongue and cheek. The
diamond version of the very long cross cut bur cuts with less trauma and
less heat than the carbide equivalent.

Management of chronic local infections may benefit from the insertion of

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

The limbs of small animal veterinary patients are typically much smaller
than their human counterparts. Most bandage scissors are designed for
the human limb. Veterinary bandage scissors should be lower in profile to Strabismus Scissors
get between bandage and skin and, for ease of use, need to be slightly
straighter than standard human bandage scissors.

Surgical Scissor Supercut

Surgical Scissors
Surgical scissors are typically either one of two designs. The Mayo is the
general purpose surgical scissor in which the blade occupies
approximately one third of the length of the scissor. The 14cm straight
Mayo is the standard veterinary surgical scissor. The Metzenbaum is a
finer lighter scissor in which the blade occupies approximately one
quarter of the scissor length. Using a 14.5cm metzenbaum rather than a
14cm Mayo will give you a finer scissor but a similar working distance.
Each style of scissor is available in four different qualities which vary
according to blade construction and cutting characteristics. They can be
identified by handle colour.
• Standard Stainless
• Supercut Black
• Tunsten Carbide Gold
• Supercut T.C. Black & Gold
Surgical Scissor - Standard One blade is sharpened to a tapered edge which greatly enhances the
ability of the scissor to slice through tissues. The standard scissor has
much more of a crushing action. Identified by having black handles.

17 INSTRUMENT CARE
Introduction Automatic Instrument Washer

Stainless steel instruments are not made from the same material as bone
plates and pins. In order to take an edge and be hardened stainless type
420 has a high carbon content. Instruments will rust and stain under
adverse conditions.
With appropriate care your surgical instruments will last a lifetime. The key
elements are cleaning, lubrication and dry storage. Baked on biological
residues will cause rusting, breakage and invalidation of warranties. Our
recommended programme of surgical instrument care is available at the
following website address: www.vetinst.com/instrumentcare.htm
Veterinary Instrumentation has a network of specialists who can repair any
surgical instrument. Send the damaged item to us and we will advise if it is
worth repairing.
Routine sharpening and setting of scissors is performed quickly and
professionally in our own workshop by Len Richardson, instrument maker
with over 55 years of experience.
‘No more manual cleaning.’

Simply load your surgical
instruments and press start.

Instrument Cleaning Brush
Used regularly, ultrasonic cleaning will keep your instruments looking good,
and more importantly, working well. Ultrasonic action can clean out those
nooks and crannies, including wide box joints, which normal cleaning cannot
penetrate. Accumulations of blood in instrument joints cause corrosion and
stiffening. Available in a range of sizes to suit your circumstances.
All units include timer and heater, both of which are essential. We
recommend the use of Rapidex and Rapizyme as ultrasonic cleaning agents.
Stainless steel instruments are protected from corrosion by a very thin
ULTRASONIC CLEANERS layer of chromium oxide. This should not be damaged by regular wire
brushes. This brush has firm nylon bristles on one side and stainless

MELAG Class B
Autoclaves. Vakuklav 23-B
Melag Autoclaves
After a lot of research and discussions with users we have selected the
MELAG Vakuklav 23-B as representing the best combination of
specification, ease of use and value. MELAG is a family run concern with
decades of experience in designing and producing autoclaves. Melag
autoclaves are backed up by a UK wide network of engineers. For extra
rapid cycle times consider the Melag Cheeta class autoclave.
Little Sister type autoclaves are designed to sterilise non wrapped solid
items on open trays. This type of autoclave is classified as type N and in
human practice it is not permitted for sterilisation of wrapped instruments
(even in autoclave bags) or hollow instruments for fear that the steam will
not fully penetrate.
To ensure full penetration of steam a vacuum cycle must first remove the
air from the chamber. Type B autoclaves are the highest specification
machines and are suitable for the sterilisation of all wrapped or non-
wrapped, solid, hollow and porous products. In addition the Type B
autoclaves produce dry packs and instruments, which minimises staining
and corrosion of instruments.

Why MELAG?
Conformation - International regulation prEN13060/1-4 categorises Simple Choice of Programs
autoclaves as types N, S and B according to their operational parameters
and intended applications. All Melag autoclaves conform.
Independent Validation - Melag Type B autoclaves have been
independently validated by a leading German University and have
exceeded the requirements of prEN13060/1-4 for Class B Autoclaves.
Water Purity - Only the best quality demineralised or sterile water should
be used to avoid autoclave malfunction and possible long term damage.
Melag type B machines automatically check water quality before each melag prog 1

Apalert Respiration Monitor
Increasing sophistication of monitors leads nurses to monitor the

instruments rather than the patient. Simple respiratory monitoring plus a
competent nurse offers the most reliable patient monitoring.
For emergency artificial respiration. The device is ideal for administering

either pure oxygen or room air to oxygen deprived patients. A special valve
allows lung inflation on compression of the bag and passive exhalation of
CO2 whilst fresh air refills the bag. Can be used with a standard
endotracheal tube or an airtight mask.

Electrosurgery
Electrosurgery BiPolar
HF 122 is a complete innovation in the electrosurgery field. It is a high

frequency-electronic scalpel suitable for microcoagulation, small and
medium MonoPolar surgery and BiPolar coagulation. The following
MonoPolar modes of operation are available via the control panel: pure
cutting (CUT), coagulated cutting (COAG), MonoPolar coagulation and Electrosurgery MonoPolar
microcoagulation (BLEND). Additionally with BiPolar forceps, bipolar
coagulation and microcoagulation are available.
Safety Alarm
Open Circuit (OC) Alarm warns the user that connection into the neutral
plate has not been made or that the cable is disconnected. The alarm is
signalled with an intermittent beep together with a flashing red light on the
front panel. In this condition HF emission for cut and coagulation operation
is switched off. Meets all EC standards for this type of equipment
Overheat Alarm
Should the final module in the HF generator overheat, the unit incorporates
an internal circuit protection which cuts off operation. In this condition the
red OVH warning light illuminates and the user must wait until the
generator cools down, about 20 sec, before recommencing. The module
will not go into protection mode as long as the instruction for operation as
described in the manual are followed.
Kit includes:
• Two button MonoPolar handle • Foot control
This new HF 106 electrosurgery unit is particularly suitable for small
• Flat neutral plate • 6 short MonoPolar electrodes procedures. The 50 watt unit offers precision of cut with immediate

from the distal hind limb with disastrous results. Removal of the ring
without causing additional damage and pain to the limb is very difficult
without these purpose designed cutters. Once the notched jaws are
engaged on the ring, firm pressure may be applied to cut the ring without
fear of the ring "flipping over". Also functions as a general purpose canine
