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

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

Adjustable Bone Saw
Hard Backed Orthopaedic Saw
140mm long 23mm deep
0.4mm cut.
In the style of the XACTO saw blade but is stiffer
and has slightly bigger teeth, more suitable for
bone. It is made from stainless steel and can be
autoclaved. The stiff back helps to guide the saw
compared with hack saw type blades which
often deviate.
Useful for many bone procedures, this saw comes complete with five, fine
chrome plated blades. Blade length is adjustable from 40 mm to 100 mm.
Procedures include trochleaplasty, tibial crest transplants, amputations,
trochanteric osteotomy and excision arthroplasty. Also useful for splitting
multi-rooted teeth prior to extraction.
Use for wedge sulcoplasty and osteotomies up
to 23mm deep.

Although not stainless, this hard backed fine saw is ideal for wedge
trochleaplasty. Provided the blade is kept absolutely dry, apart from the
actual procedure, you will get several procedures from it before it needs
replacing. Handle is aluminium. Consider also the Hard Backed
Orthopaedic Saw (001004).
Designed specifically to remove any bone spurs following excision
arthroplasty. Failure to remove bone spurs is the most common cause of
problems with this procedure. Teeth cut on the back stroke.

£10.59
A rectangular sulcoplasty retains the maximum articular cartilage.
Creation of the sulcoplasty can be a challenge in that most osteotomes
are too thick and the block tends to break up. Our super slim 8mm
osteotome minimises breakup. The rectangular rasp is designed to tidy
up the corners of the sulcoplasty to maximise ‘fit’.

Combination Bone Rasp Set
Hohman Retractors with short tip
001041
001042
The three interchangeable rasp blades offer a range of cutting surfaces, flat,
round and ‘putti’ style. The handle has an ergonomic design which is easy to
grip even when wet.
A deceptively useful instrument, this style of Hohman is useful in:
1. retraction of facia lata during CCL repair
2. elevation of femoral head and neck
3. muscle retraction during many joint and fracture procedures.
COMBINATION BONE RASP SET
If you intend to buy just one Hohman, the one you need is 001041, 18 mm
with a short tip. This is usually the one described in texts as ‘Hohman’.

HOHMAN RETRACTORS with short tip
Trochlea Rasp
Designed for deepening the trochlea
groove, the trochlea rasp has a range of
diameters to suit breeds from
chihuahuas to bull terriers. For larger
breeds perform a wedge trochleaplasty
using a hard backed saw. An accurately
contoured trochlea is essential for a
successful trochleaplasty. Articular
cartilage is removed to be replaced by fibrocartilage.

retract muscles during plating and cerclage procedures.
Loose flaps of cartilage at the OCD lesion must be removed. The double
ended OCD curette is designed to perform this task within the limited space
available. Healthy fibrocartilage within the lesion should not be disturbed.

Mini Hohman 6mm & 8mm short tip
Curved Graft Passer
Manipulation of small bone fragments during repair requires careful
retraction of soft tissues to minimise devascularisation. The blade of the
Hohman retracts the soft tissue as the tip effectively elevates and exposes
the bone fragment.
Exact anatomical repair of the bones will not result in satisfactory healing
without adequate blood supply.
Mini Hohmans allow delicate, precise retraction of the vital soft tissues,
allowing placement of screws or wires.
An assistant to hold these instruments is a distinct advantage.

Straight Graft Passer
Designed to pass through a 2.7 mm hole, the straight graft passer is useful
for pulling graft and nylon through bone tunnels.
The repair of the cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) by the 'Over the Top'
technique requires a curved graft passer to pull the graft through the stifle
joint. This design of graft passer has been developed over many years to:

2. feel right in use. The handle is comfortable

Bennett Type Graft Passer & Aneurism Needles
This design is used by most recognised orthopaedic surgeons. Please see
our free CD rom ‘Surgical Management of Canine Cranial Cruciate Disease’
for details and video of the technique.
The small eyed graft passers are appropriate for placement of lateral suture
wire or monofilament nylon as described by M. L. Olmstead.

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

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

Loop Tension Devices
Prior to crimping it is suggested that the loop be tensioned sufficiently to
eliminate the anterior draw, but not enough to create an outward rotation.
This may be achieved by a number of methods:
a) Partial crimp - see video, does not require additional instrumentation.
b) Simple tension device requiring a pair of gelpis 091132

A special FiberWire™ lateral suture has been developed by Arthrex in
conjunction with James L. Cook, DVM, PhD, at the Comparative
Orthopaedic Laboratory, University of Missouri, consisting of a swaged on
curved needle for fabella placement and a straight needle at the other end
for easy passage through the proximal tibia. The #5 FiberWire™ (7 metric)
is for use in dogs 15kg to 50kg. A #2 FiberWire™ will be available shortly.

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

The tibial plateau levelling operation (TPLO) alters the anatomy of the stifle
to moderate the effect of the loss of the cranial cruciate ligament (CCL).
The stifle remains unstable to manipulation but is stable as the dog bears
weight. It is claimed that following TPLO, degenerative joint disease
changes are minimal compared with other CCL procedures. These plates
are widely used to repair the tibia following removal of the bone wedge. The
shaft holes are compression. The holes in the head are round but large to
give a good range of screw angle. Particularly useful in large dogs and dogs
with tibial plateau deformation. See page 231 for TPLO plate profiles. Our
free CD rom illustrates and describes the technique.
The wedge gauges simplify the marking and
cutting of the appropriate wedge.
The parallel marks on each gauge allow
the surgeon to mark and cut
a wedge having equal
borders proximally
and distally.
WEDGE ANGLE FINDER OVERLAY - FREE
A simple acetate overlay to help you calculate the tibial plateau angle, from
which you can easily calculate the size of the wedge to remove. Includes
lines to indicate the normal tibial plateau angle and a 5º line which is
regarded as the most appropriate post-op angle. Also included on the
acetate are actual size outlines of our range of TPLO plates to help you
select the most appropriate plate. See page 231 for actual size profiles.
With both borders the same length
the resulting closure is better, both

Triple Tibial Osteotomy
Some instrumentation is required to make the procedure easier and to
minimise errors. The set comprises a saw guide, measuring/marking gauge
(osteometer) and a bone manipulation device (wedgie). The saw guide
works with flat oscillating blades with a maximum cut thickness of 1mm
(thickness at the teeth). See Chapter 5.
A new cruciate management
technique combining tibial
plateau levelling and tibial
tubercle advancement.
FREE INSTRUCTIONAL DVD
Phone 0845 130 9596 or email [email protected]
Based on the work of Slocum, Tepic and Montavon, the Triple Tibial
Osteotomy has been developed by Dr Warrick Bruce to overcome some of
the problems encountered in the Slocum TPLO technique, the Montavon
TTA (Tibial Tubercle Advancement) and the closing wedge TPLO
technique.
The technique uses the well established range of closing wedge
osteotomy plates.
90º
Some of the problems include:Work by Tepic suggests that the tibial plateau should be perpendicular to
the patella ligament to minimise shear strain at the CrCL. The Slocum
technique does not always address this issue.
The bi-radial Slocum blade is inefficient and difficult to resharpen resulting
in the generation of significant amounts of heat which leads to delayed
healing and other complications.
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
osteotomy in the caudal tibia which when closed creates a small tibial
tubercle advancement. A free instructional DVD is available which fully
describes and explains the procedure through video, stills and text files.
The DVD also includes an instrument check list.

The cast Slocum plate meets neither the current metallurgical specification
nor the manufacturing process requirements for stainless steel implants.
While we are allowed to use our judgement regarding implants it would be
relatively hard to defend the use of a non–standard implant should
anything go wrong.
Once the radial cut is made in the proximal tibia the two parts are
essentially unstable. The proximal segment has to be rotated while
maintaining alignment. The jig is placed prior to the cut and keeps the two
segments under control until the rotation is complete and the two parts
fixed internally.
In view of the above we have produced a Slocum style plate, machined
from 316LVM. The only clear advantage of the cast Slocum plate was its
malleability. Our plate has been modified in the head region to make
contouring easier, while retaining the stiffness of 316LVM elsewhere for
stability and rapid healing. The lower profile makes closure easier.

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

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

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

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

Fat Pad Retractor
Visualisation of the medial meniscus is maximised by retraction of the fat
pad. Previously this has been achieved by use of a Senn ("cats paw")
retractor. The fat pad retractor has the same clawed foot but has a much
more practical means of holding the instrument.
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.

The stifle distractor is designed to separate the femoral component of the
stifle from the tibia. Ideally the two joint surfaces should move away from
each other in a parallel fashion so that the meniscus is exposed in its
natural state and minimally distorted by the examination. One tip is placed
in the intercondylar notch and the other on the cranial intercondylar area.
Neither tip should involve articular cartilage. Test distractions (by squeezing
the handles) will allow the surgeon to find the exact point at which a full
distraction will expose the medial (usually) meniscus. The spin lock is then
engaged to powerfully open up the stifle joint. The distractor is
self-retaining leaving the surgeon with two free hands to examine the
meniscus and deal with any pathology.
The working tips of our spinlock stifle distractors are just the same as the
ratchet version. The spin lock offers a more secure distraction as it is
impossible for the distractor to slip. In addition the spin lock variant allows
the surgeon to ‘crank’ open the joint is the manner of the larger versions of
this instrument. Many of our Gelpi self retaining retractors are also available
with a spinlock. See page 44.
When closed the tips overlap making the points atraumatic as they enter
the joint. Additionally the overlapping feature reduces the profile of the tips
as they enter the joint.

Plate Bending Pliers
These pliers will contour 2.7mm and 3.5mm narrow plates. 3.5 DCPs are at
the absolute limit and will require multiple small bends. Also useful for
bending guide pins in the Slocum TPLO technique. Available elsewhere for
£1000 or more.
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.
PLATE BENDING PLIERS
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).
Available in 6, 8 & 10mm diameters.
Other applications:
Work by Noel Fitzpatrick suggests that placing a bone core(harvested by
the OATS system) across IOHC lesion together with implant support can
lead to resolution.

notch at the tip of the instrument engages and ruptures the round ligament.
The disarticulator is also particulary useful in manipulation of the humeral
head in OCD lesions, investigation of elbow lesions and as a general tissue
retractor. If you cannot see the cut end of the round ligament you
probably have not resected it.
The staple introducer holds the staple to facilitate the initial insertion and
alignment whilst being struck by a mallet. In case of difficulty starting the
staple, pre-drill with 2.0mm pin or drill bit. Accepts all sizes of CCL staple.

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

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

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

H150-5-2
During recent years, as arthroscopy in small animals has developed,
researchers realized the necessity of a specific puncture system to create
an instrument portal in the larger joints. Due to the dense muscle mass in
shoulder joints, creating a puncture for a working cannula is often quite
difficult. If a clean puncture allowing access directly to the joint is not
achieved the first time, the risk of a subsynovial oedema increases greatly,
thus decreasing the time frame to complete the surgery with each failed
puncture. The shoulder puncture system has been specifically designed to
help eliminate this risk. The system allows you to align your arthroscope
accurately in the joint space. Simply attach the puncture system to the
arthroscopic sheaths and maintain your arthroscopic vision in a parallel
direction to the shoulder joint rim. At this point you will find the working
triangulation portal in an ideal position. After a puncture is created with the
desired trochar, simply replace the trochar with a working cannula and start
working with your instruments. Useful for both cranial and caudal
approaches.

ARTHROSCOPY
Cameras & Monitors
Monitor
Arthroscopy
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.
Professional monitors offer a better image than domestic screens as they
have a better resolution. Some pre-owned units are always available. Ring
for details.
The connection of the camera head to the eyepiece of the arthroscope is
also variable. To maximise the choice and longevity of the instrumentation it
is advised that a clip on camera head compatible with DIN standard
eyepieces be selected. The camera heads are fully immersible.
Image Capture
Good practice dictates that a record is made of any arthroscopic
procedure. Subsequent investigations can be compared to earlier ones and
images can be shared and compared with colleagues or tutors as part of a
training programme. Domestic video recorders will create a permanent
record of a procedure. However the data is relatively crude and difficult to
manipulate . Still video printers capture an image from a video stream
which can then be printed onto photographic paper.
Eco Camera
Digital video and data storage technology now allows the surgeon to record
and store very large amounts of data in a digital format. The digital
information can subsequently be manipulated by appropriate computer
software to create both still and moving images in a variety of formats for
storage or display. If clinical presentations are anticipated then a digital
system is very desirable. Domestic DVD or combined DVD/Hard drive
recorders offer huge storage capacities at reasonable prices.
761-113V
1/2" CCD Video Camera
The data is stored as Digital Video (DV) which can be converted into many
other formats. The major arthroscopy companies offer sophisticated data
storage systems which are able to capture and store still and movie files via
sterile touch screens or camera finger controls. Permanent records are
maintained on DVD discs or computer hard drives.

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.
NEW
Provided the surgeon is prepared to commit to the purchase of 100 patient
infusion sets per year Arthrex is prepared to offer its Continuous Wave
Arthroscopy Pump (AR-6450) (value £3675) on free loan. This pump has
been in use in the human sector for some 15 years and is very reliable. Line
pressure and flow rate are user defined. This means that the fluid pressure
does not have to be continually monitored and adjusted by nursing staff. In
addition, if the tube pressure is correct, any problems with fluid flow can
be immediately localised to the arthroscope. This is not the case with
inflated cuffs where only the pressure within the bag is known.
The bag of fluid to be infused is placed into a pressure bag, which is
inflated using a hand or machine pump. Without careful monitoring hand
inflation systems offer erratic pressure levels and use of a regulated pump
offers much better control. A carbon dioxide powered pump may be used
to pressurize a compression bag or infuse carbon dioxide directly into the
To create fluid flow through the joint, appropriate fluid outflow or egress
must be maintained. In the smaller joints (elbow, hock and hip), a large
bore hypodermic needle may be sufficient. In the larger joints (shoulder,
stifle) where greater volumes of fluid are involved, dedicated multi
fenestrated egress cannulae may be necessary, the waste fluid may be
collected by either bag systems or suction devices.
If you are performing 3 or more procedures per day it is cheaper to buy the
separate Machine (one per day) and Patient Tube Sets
Use of direct CO2 infusion is indicated in some inflamed joints where
inflammatory synovial villae obstruct the visual field, the villae being
flattened under gas pressure rather than floating free in infused fluid. In
addition, use of CO2 increases the field of view and image clarity of the
arthroscope. CO2 is usually used intermittently with fluid to allow for
flushing.

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

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

Positioning Aids
2
Sterility
Arthroscopes
Manipulation of arthroscopes and instrumentation inside a joint via an
image on a monitor screen can be very demanding. Careful positioning of
the patient and the surgeon is essential.
Distilled water and an enzymatic cleaner are used to remove gross
contamination from arthroscopes, sheaths and trochars. Arthroscopes are
available which can be autoclaved. However, repeated autoclaving of even
these arthroscopes will significantly reduce their working life, this being
particularly true of the smaller sizes. Sterility is more commonly achieved by
soaking in an anti-microbial solution. Historically glutaraldehyde based
solutions were the norm but health and safety concerns have led to the
development of safer chemicals based on oxidation. The manufacturer’s
instructions should be followed carefully. Ethylene oxide, if available, is
another option.
An operating table, fully adjustable for height and tilt is a prerequisite for
good arthroscopy. Once fully draped, orientation around a canine limb can
be difficult. Full use should be made of channels, ties and sand bags to fix
the overall position of the dog. Sandbags may also be necessary to act as a
fulcrum to open a joint maximally for investigation. e.g., elbow.
To provide multiple fixed positioning during an investigation a multi arm
positioning device is available which when attached between the distal limb
and the table may be locked into an infinite range of positions. An optional
accessory allows the stifle to be accurately positioned for an investigation.
Instruments.
All surgical instruments for intra articular use should be autoclaved.
Forceps and rongeurs should be thoroughly cleaned by ultrasonics.
Irrigation systems will drive debris up into the spring mechanism.
Camera systems
Most cameras used for veterinary arthroscopy cannot be autoclaved but the
head and cable can usually be soaked in the same solution as the
arthroscope. Care should be exercised to avoid contact of the sterilizing
fluid with the electrical contacts at the end of the cable. (Some camera
leads have sealing caps). An assistant outside the sterile area should plug
the camera into the controller prior to use. An alternative is the use of a
sterile disposable camera sleeve to separate the camera head and cable
from the sterile arthroscope eyepiece. Again should ethylene oxide be
available it may be used to sterilise the camera head and cable.

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
very expensive.
The veterinary pattern reflects the special requirements of veterinary
anatomy i.e. the handles typically have to stand up from the bone compared
with the human situation where the limbs are effectively cylinders and the
handles can drop away from the bone.

plate causing minimal interference elsewhere in the operation site. Also
useful as reduction forceps in soft, young bone as the balls prevent over

Implant Cutters Surgical Finish
Cutting orthopaedic implants with a hack saw is hard work and very time
consuming. Stainless steel has the unfortunate property of work hardening
i.e. the harder you try to cut it, the harder it becomes.
The surgical finish cutters are made from stainless steel with tungsten
carbide cutting inserts. As with all tungsten carbide instruments avoid
cutting at the tips of the inserts as this will fracture the hard-wearing but
brittle insert.
001234
The close-cut models are designed to cut pins and wires close to the bone
surface. It is particularly useful where wires are to be left in situ, e.g. repair
of the fracture of the distal femur and tibial crest transplants.

In situations where pins and wires are inserted for temporary fixation,
removal can be performed with a minimum of trauma using pin grips. The
jaws are especially designed to be inserted through a small skin incision. A
groove in the jaw of the stainless version locates the pin and the device can
be locked in position for easy withdrawal - especially useful where threaded
pins have been used.
Use to contour both soft and hard wires. The jaw design has multiple anvil
shapes and a pair of soft wire cutters.

Cerclage wire can be a very useful means of fragment fixation. However,
inappropriate use can lead to devitalisation and wires are often to be found
in the middle of delayed and non-unions. If the fracture reduction is not
stable it would be better to take the wire out. Multiple wires may stabilise a
situation where a single wire will not. Wires must be tight. Typically one in
five wires will break if you are making the loops tight enough. Cerclage
wire is tightened by either twisting or tensioning a wire loop.

Bone plates appropriate for the repair of load bearing long bones are very
stiff. Accurate contouring of plates is essential for precise fracture reduction,
however, MARKING OF PLATES DURING THE BENDING PROCESS WILL
LEAD TO REDUCED FATIGUE STRENGTH. Contoured plates should be
placed with adequate support to minimise cyclical loading. Bone plate
benders used in pairs are the most economic method of plate contouring.
Used to tension eyed wires very tightly. The cerclage is finished by kinking
the wire back against the eye. See page 94 for wire loops.

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

Bending and twisting 3.5mm and 4.5mm plates using standard benders is a
challenge. Most TPLO plates require careful contouring and are much
stiffer than the original cast Slocum plates.

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

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

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

Should scuffing continue we recommend the use of Therapaws

Single KE Clamp
Fixator Systems
This clamp remains the industry standard in veterinary orthopaedics. Most
criticisms levelled at KE are usually attributable to pilot error. Used
correctly KE is very effective. Used to attach fixation pin to connecting bar,
the single clamp is the key element of any external fixation frame. Its size
will dictate the size of the fixation pin and the size of the connecting bar.
The greater the diameter of the connecting bar and the greater the number
of connecting bars, the stronger the apparatus.
KE Plus 'The Second Generation'
KE equipment is a very versatile system which has stood the test of time
and remains the industry standard. However, one major limitation is that
positive threaded pins cannot be inserted through the standard clamp.
Most authorities are recommending the use of at least some positive
threaded pins in any construct.
As a guide, we would suggest small clamps for up to 5kgs, medium clamps
for 5 - 30kgs, and large clamps or multiple medium frames for over 30kgs.
Veterinary Instrumentation has developed KE Plus specifically to increase
the range of pins which may be used including positive threaded pins. For
any given size of clamp it is now possible to use both larger and smaller
diameter pins than standard KE systems. KE Plus is fully compatible with
your existing KE set up. KE Plus clamps have a matt finish compared with
the polished standard KE clamps.
WHICH PINS?
LARGE SINGLE

Each clamp will accept a variety of pins. The pin size indicated is the
largest possible. Smaller pins will also work although the fixation is not
quite as rigid. e.g. the proximal radius may need a slightly smaller pin than
the distal radius.

EXTERNAL FIXATION
External Fixation
Double Clamps
Extra Large Clamps and Bars
Used to attach a connecting bar to another connecting bar. If possible, the
fixation pins in the proximal fragment should be linked to the pins in the
distal fragment via single clamps and a single connecting bar. This is not
always possible because of the shape of the bones or the angle of
placement of the pins.
Standard KE clamps made very much larger. Bars are 1/2" 12.5mm in
diameter.
Clamps will accept up to 5/16" 8mm pins. Suitable for foals and calves.
It may be necessary to connect the pins in the proximal fragment to a short
connecting bar and the pins in the distal segment to another short
connecting bar. Finally the two short connecting bars are joined by a long
connecting bar using double clamps. The frame is not as rigid as the single
connecting bar frame. Double clamps may be used to connect long bars
proximally and distally, as in type III frames.

Connecting Bars
Connecting bars are available in 5/16" for large clamps, 3/16" for medium
clamps and 1/8" for small clamps. The thicker the bar, the stronger the
frame. The shorter the bar between bone fragments, the stronger the
frame.
Rigidity is important early in fracture healing. When significant callus is
present, it is often helpful to introduce some slight axial motion by either
removing some pins or moving the clamps further away from the bone. This
is known as staging down or dynamising.
Bars are available in a variety of lengths.
Specials to order including angled bars. Allow 7 days.

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

The small linear fixator is designed for use in the stabilisation of fractures
requiring pins with thread diameters ranging from 1.5mm to 4mm.
The clamps are of two types. The ‘slide on’ type is fed onto the end of the
bar. The ‘hook on’ type may be fitted into the middle of an existing frame.
Each type of clamp is available as two variants, the 4.0mm variant and the
2.5mm variant. The 4.0mm variant is used to connect bars to each other
and for pin thread diameters 4.0mm, 3.5mm and 3.0mm. The 2.5 variant is
used for pins with thread diameters 2.5mm, 2.0mm and 1.5mm.
Double Pin clamp
The clamps are of two types. The ‘Slide on’ type is fed onto the end of the
bar. The ‘Clip on’ type may be fitted into the middle of an existing frame.
The clip on clamp is springloaded and clips onto the bar in a semi- retained
fashion pending tightening. Additionally the pin clamp is springloaded, the
pins clip in and are retained pending insertion and tightening. The
tightening of the clamp to the bar and the clamp to the pins are separate
operations. There is minimal slipping and sliding during assembly. The
clamp offers multi-point fixation to pins 3.00mm to 6.0mm. A feature of all
the clamps is a system of internal locking grooves which interlock when
tightened giving very rigid angular fixation (c.f. KE type systems)
The clamps may be used with either Stainless Steel or Carbon Fibre bars of
4.0mm in diameter. This is a beautifully engineered system which costs
little more than KE.
Available as a set including clamps, wrenches, stainless bars, carbon bars
and pins of all sizes saving 20% on component costs.

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

Cortical Negative Threaded Pins(Ellis type)
Cortical
Designed specifically to maintain reduction of luxated hips by means of a
simple frame on the pelvis, the ESF hinge is also useful in transarticular
frames where continued mobility is desirable, e.g. hock and elbow.
The drilling tip of this type of pin is the long Trochar. Immediately behind
the Trochar is a short fine thread designed to engage the far cortex. The
smooth shank engages the near cortex. The thread/shank junction (the
weakest part of the pin) is positioned in the medullary cavity and is
therefore protected.
Attaches to standard KE equipment. Relatively weak in abduction.
Supplied with instructions for use.

Ellis type pins have improved pull out resistance over Trochar pins and the
angle of placement is not as critical. Ellis pins should be placed at right
angles to the bone if possible.
CORTICAL NEGATIVE THREADED PINS (ELLIS TYPE)
Pin Choice
There are some rules:
1. Threaded pins have a higher pull out resistance and may be placed at
right angles to the bone surface c.f. smooth pins. It is therefore possible to
place more pins per bone fragment using threaded pins.
2. Try to place at least 3 pins in each fragment. If only 2 pins are possible
use as large a diameter as seems safe. The bone holding power of a pin is
proportional to the bone/pin interface it creates. 1/3 fragment diameter is
the usual guideline.

Negative bicortical pins have had a bad reputation for early failure at the
thread pin junction. Where selection of pin and frame are appropriate
failure of negative threaded pins is rare.
5 The longer your frame needs to stay in situ (based on fracture type and
patient factors), the greater the stability and bone/pin interface you will
require. If in doubt, go for a modified type II, fully threaded.

3. As far as end thread pins are concerned, do not worry too much about
the positive/negative profile. Select your pins based on thread diameter not
shaft diameter. Your fixator system (old KE) may impose positive profile
pins on you to obtain a given thread diameter.
info
001530
The important criterion is thread diameter not shaft diameter. For any
given thread diameter both positive and negative threaded pins are equally
strong. Virtually all human pins are negative threaded!

Coarse Negative Threaded Pins

Pearson Positive Threaded Pins
The thread on this pin is similar to a self-tapping cortical screw. The drilling tip
is, again, the long Trochar. In young bone, use without pre-drilling; in older,
hardened bone, use smaller pilot hole.
The much improved pull out resistance means that these pins can be placed
parallel within the same bone fragment; useful when fragment is smaller or
when aligning proximal and distal fragments. More prone to pin fracture than
Ellis pins. Always use three pins on either side of the fracture if possible.
The benefits of positive threaded pins in long term ESF frames are well
known. However, there is evidence that impaction of bone debris causes
problems at the bone pin interface. The special fluting of the Pearson Pin
addresses these problems. The special tip DOES NOT require predrilling
thereby reducing time and soft tissue morbidity.

Mid Thread
The fine threads of these pins are proud of the shank eliminating the weak
point where the thread ends in other pins. The major benefit of positive
pins is that the additional thread diameter creates a larger bone pin
interface for a given shaft diameter. This style of pin is useful where a good
pull out resistance is required and where it is anticipated that the frames
will be left in situ for long periods - 6 weeks plus. Use KE Plus clamps if
available. Place at right angles to the bone.

Positive Threaded Pins - Cancellous
The coarser threads of these pins are appropriate for use in the proximal
tibia and occasionally in the distal radius.
Used almost exclusively in the management of complex humeral fractures
involving a variant on the ‘Y’ or ‘T’ fracture. The olive, positioned at the end
of the threaded portion of the pin, acts as the screw head in a lag screw.
Bone fragments may be compressed and incorporated into the external
fixator frame. The bone fragment involved is usually the lateral condyle.

Pin Cutters
Pin Insertion
See page 36
Safety Pin Cutter to 4mm
Standard Cutters
Correct pin insertion requires slow axial rotation under pressure. A Jacobs
hand chuck can be used particularly where bone is young and soft. There is
a tendency when using a hand chuck to produce a hole which is not
circular, this will reduce the pin/bone interface resulting in premature pin
loosening. The small Jacobs hand chuck gives better control and is big
enough for 2, 3 and 4mm pins.
Safety Cutter
The ideal instrument in my experience, is the Variable Speed Orthopaedic
Drill which offers maximum control and minimal wobble. It delivers pure
axial rotation. It is a low speed, high torque device and, of course, useful
elsewhere in veterinary orthopaedics.

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

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

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.

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

Slocum Blade Adaptor
NEW
The Multi saw is a multi-function oscillating saw which may be used as a
cast cutter and a surgical oscillating saw. The standard rechargeable saw is
supplied as a kit including charger, battery and gypsum type saw blade.
Our stainless attachment converts the multi saw into a surgical saw in a
similar fashion to our orthopaedic drill. With the converter and shroud in
place, all exposed surfaces are sterile. Excellent for total femoral head and
neck excision and TPLO by Tibial Wedge Osteotomy. A wide range of
blades fit the multi saw. We recommend either the Desoutter S82 series or
the Halls 5071 series. The latter offers a slimmer cut 0.8mm c.f. 1.2mm.
This adaptor converts our standard Multi Saw into a radial/biradial blade
driver. The mount is in fact the old Stryker triangular mount. Please bear
in mind the following, once mounted the saw sits at right angles to the
long axis of the saw c.f. standard Slocum type saws. Additionally the cut
is less aggressive in that the oscillation is 4º rather than the 6º of
standard saws. The cut will, therefore, be slower. Ideal as a budget
alternative or as a back up to your air saw.

3M’s Orthopaedic Equipment
Reattachment of osteotomies or small
bone fragments is often best achieved
using "K" or arthrodesis wires.
3M's equipment remains the first choice for top referral practices and
university departments. The equipment is very reliable and relatively easy
to maintain. There is also a place for 3M equipment in general practice for
veterinary orthopaedic surgeons who enjoy their surgery and who wish to
provide their clients and patients with the best possible care.
Driving long wires often results in
bending. Driving short wires
in a Jacobs chuck
requires time
consuming and
repeated adjustments.
Unfortunately 3M equipment is no longer available new. Our experience
with 3M is such that we have obtained good quality pre-owned supplies
which will provide many years of quality service at a reasonable price.
We can service all 3M equipment. Call for details.
Mini Driver K200 Hand Piece
The 3M Mini Driver is a
modular system comprising a
handpiece plus a range of
quick fit attachments. Where
we offer a set for sale it will
include: handpiece, drill,
wiredriver, saw, AO quick fit
attachment, hose and
autoclave case.
The wire driver is designed to drive "K"
and arthrodesis wires 0.9mm to 2.0mm
accurately with finger tip advancement
of the wires.
Sagittal Saw K220
For osteotomies in confined areas, e.g. excision arthroplasty, radial
osteotomy, triple pelvic osteotomy. A large range of saws and blades are
available. See overleaf for blades.
The Mark II K220 saw attachment (illustrated) is stronger and takes longer
blades than the earlier K120.

Minos A200
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
operator. Usually available pre-owned. Further details and trials are
available on request. A set will include the A200 motor, bur guard and a
hose.

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

Bur Guards
Bur Brush
Burs and bur guards are common to both the Minos and the Surgairtome II.
A bur guard should always be used when driving burs. Spinning at 100,000
rpm the shaft needs support.
When burs stop cutting mid procedure the reason is usually clogging of the
cutting flutes. High speeds (100,000 rpm) minimise the problem. Dremel
type flexdrive units are particularly prone. Our bur brush is used to clean
the bur without damaging it. It may be more convenient to change the bur
and clean them up afterwards.

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.

UK MA7
TPLO Saws and Blades
US Schrader
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).
Currently the stainless steel radius saw is only available in 24mm. A multi
blade hub is under development due for release in April 2007.
Phone for an update.
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).

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

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

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

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

remove the layer of deep cortical bone overlying the spinal cord once the
superficial cortex and cancellous bone have been removed using power
tools; this is particularly true of the medium and large dog.

40º Bone Punch Forceps (Low Profile)
This instrument is designed for use with
high speed bur systems. The bur is used
to remove the outer cortical layer and
the underlying cancellous layer, leaving
only the inner cortical bone
(appoximately egg shell thickness).
Access to the neural canal is achieved
using the bur or a small mobiliser
(001420). The powerful nibbling action
allows the final layer of bone to be
removed in a very controlled manner.
This is a traditional design with a 40 degree
upward cutting jaw. Robust spine forceps.
Good quality and excellent value.

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

Gelfoam is absorbable gelatin which is
water insoluble, non elastic, porous and
pliable. It is used for its haemostatic
properties particularly in an around the
spine. It is also thought to act as a barrier
to minimise scar tissue ingrowth at
laminectomy sites. Simon Wheeler thinks
that it is ‘marvellous’
At the present time distraction fusion techniques seem to offer the best
chances of success. The rapid improvement following surgery encourages
the owners to persevere to long term stabilisation. The Mckee washer has
been shown to give a relatively high success rate for this most difficult
condition. Each size washer has its own distractor to facilitate insertion.
The washer is maintained in situ by a 3.5mm position screw.

Stainless Equipment Boxes
BX2735CS
Implant Designs and Specifications
For many years, veterinary orthopaedics have been complicated by the use
of two incompatible plating systems: AO/ASIF type cortical screws plus
compression type plates, and Sherman type screws plus Sherman and
Venables type plates. The two systems differed both in their metallurgy and
their strength.
All our implants are now made from stainless steel of the latest human
specification, exceeding DIN 17443 and ISO 5832/1 (all are versions of
stainless 316LV). This is the same specification material used by other
manufacturers. In addition where international standards have been applied
to screw threads e.g. 3.5 cortical screws (DIN 58812) our implants meet
these standards. It is now safe to use implants from a variety of sources
provided they meet the above specifications. All implants made in Europe
must be compatible with each other.
Round hole plates may be used with cortical screws. Only corticocancellous
screws with spherical heads can be used to achieve compression using
compression plates.
The design of this stainless lidded box is such that steam can circulate freely
to ensure complete sterility. The standard size is 250 x 150 x 55mm, which
fits all typical veterinary autoclaves. A range of boxes has been developed to
house plating equipment and implants for each screw size system.
Self-Tapping Cortical Screws
Suffix CS is for AO type cortical screw equipment. Suffix ST is for
self-tapping (Sherman) type equipment. Equipment not included.
After many years of being advised by AO that self-tapping screws were
unacceptable, it now seems that they are fine and are supplied as selftapping cortical screws. The pull out resistance is unaffected provided the
self-tapping flutes sit outside the bone. In our view long holes in hard bone
should be pre-tapped e.g. a trans-condylar screw in the mature humerus or
a position screw through the calcaneus. Veterinary Instrumentation's
cortical kits are now available with self-tapping cortical screws or regular
cortical screws which require a tap.
Implant Codes
BX20CS
To minimise confusion regarding ordering, we have given our implants codes
which accurately describe the item in question. For example: C2706052 is a
compression plate for 2.7 screws which has 6 holes and is 52mm long.

templates for use during fracture planning with radiographs are available

Accurate measurement of hole depth is essential in order to select the
appropriate screw size. A range of gauges is available for various screw
sizes. Hole depth is read from the instrument. Add extra to allow for over

compatible with cortical and Sherman screws. If compression is
unnecessary or undesirable use a round hole plate. The plate profile is the
same as a 3.5mm DCP.

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

The heavy duty plate is stronger than either 3.5mm compression plate or
our 3.5mm standard round hole plate. Use of this plate makes 3.5mm
cortical or 9/64" Sherman screws appropriate in even the largest canine
breed. The plate profile is the same as a 3.5mm broad DCP.

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

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

The working tip of this instrument is a quick release chuck of the Synthes
type which accepts drills, taps and screwdriver attachments. Inclusion of
this handle would mean that you would not require separate tap handles
and screwdriver. The rotating cap which sits in the palm allows the tip to be
spun with the fingers.
Our adjustable Drill Guide allows accurate placement of drill holes by
predetermination of drill entry and exit points. Locks onto bone to minimise
errors.
• The swivelling point allows use of the guide where access is limited.
• Supplied with 2.0, 2.5 and 3.5 drill sleeves. Use the appropriate sleeve
for the drill in use.

T Bar Taps
Use of an appropriate sized drill guide enables the surgeon to control
exactly the entry and exit points of drills. This ability is extremely important
in lag screwing.
These taps require no additional handle.
Various insert sleeves are available for each drill size, with an accurate
guidance system, and provide exact positioning of holes for lag screwing,
(e.g. for a 3.5mm cortical screw, drill 3.5 lag hole in proximal cortex, insert
SL3525 and drill through it into the trans cortex. Finally tap and insert
screw.)

screw without disengaging it.
Triple drill guides are used to accurately position drills and K or arthrodesis
wires. The three holes in the head allow for the placement of parallel

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

Depth Gauge
Bending Templates
To avoid repeated entry into the operation site when contouring plates, an
'aluminium' bending template is contoured to the bone. The steel plate is
then bent to match the template using irons or a bone plate press.
Accurate measurement of hole depth is essential in order to select the
appropriate screw size. A range of gauges is available for various screw
sizes. Hole depth is read from the instrument. Add extra to allow for over
penetration. Use in self-tapping or cortical systems.

1.5mm Screws
To exert compression at the fracture site, the cortical screw must be
positioned precisely within the slot in the compression plate. The
load/neutral drill guide has two tips, one for compression (load) and one
where no compression is exerted (neutral). There is one combination for
each screw/plate size. Each guide is marked with the drill size to be used.
1.5mm Cortical Screws
Available 6mm to 34mm length. Use 1.1mm pilot drill and 1.5mm hex
screwdriver. Use extreme care when tightening as the threads have a very
fine pitch. Use in combination with 2.0 plates. The head is slightly smaller
than the 2.0 cortical screw.

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.

Use with 2.0mm cortical screws if compression is required.
This type of screw is becoming increasingly popular in both human and
veterinary orthopaedics. Self tapping flutes at the tip obviate the need for
pre-tapping which saves time and reduces time related complications. Pull
out strength is not affected provided the self-tapping flutes lie outside the
bone cortex. Allow an extra 1mm when assessing screw length. Drill data;
pilot drill 1.5mm, clearance drill 2.0mm.

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

Locking screws
5.5/6.5mm Screws
This cortical screw is suitable for equines. Nearly twice as strong as 4.5mm
cortical screws. Use with 4.5mm plates. Drill data: Pilot 4.0mm, Clear 5.5mm.
Compatible with standard locking plates our screws require a standard 2.5
hex screwdriver (the same as cortical screws). The threads are finer than
cortical screws as they do not need to grip bone as well as cortical and
cancellous screws. Using locking screws and plates, the bone is attached to
the screw and the screw is then locked onto the plate. DCPs rely on being
trapped between the head of the screw and the bone. The implications of
this are that less stress is placed on the interface between screw and bone.
In addition the plate does not have to be contoured as accurately. It is
rather like an internal external fixation in that the locking plate and screws
holds the bone fragments in a fixed position relative to one another. To
ensure that the fine thread of the screw aligns exactly with the threads in
the plate it is essential to use the dedicated drill guide which screws into
the plate prior to the drilling of the pilot hole.

LOCKING SCREW 2.7mm USE 2.0 PILOT PLUS DRILL SLEEVE
This very large screw has an application in the closing wedge TPLO
procedure in very large dogs. Bone stock is poor in the proximal tibia. The
6.5mm self-tapping, fully threaded cancellous screw gives maximum pull
out resistance. Pilot drill 3.2mm, screwdriver SDH3500 and tap TT00065
or TS00065. Only use the tap for the fibular head screw. Drill data: Pilot

Titanium Screws
NEW
The head of the locking screw locks into the matching threaded hole in the
plate. The plate is not attached to the bone by being trapped between
screw and bone. Rather the plate and screws form an external fixator
construct just above the bone under the soft tissues. Less stress is placed
on the screw bone interface making this construct ideal where bone stock
is poor. In addition contouring of the plate is much less important. As the
screw tightens into the plate the bone fragments are held in reduction
rather than being pulled up to the plate and possibly out of alignment.
NEW
Titanium Screws and plates are very commonly used in man particularly for
facio maxillary repairs. The most important benefit in this application is that
Titanium does not interfere with MRI scans. Compared to stainless steel
Titanium is lighter and much more osteo compatible.
Holes will accept either standard screws or locking screws. Relieving
grooves facilitate contouring. Use locking plug to minimise hole
deformation.
The major application in veterinary orthopaedics is in conjunction with the
TTA cruciate procedure.
The dual hole allows compression to be applied at the fracture side if
necessary.

Reconstruction Plates
Washers
Reconstruction plates are designed for easy contouring. Notching between
holes facilitates multiplanar bending. Useful for reconstruction of non-load
bearing bone. Especially useful in the pelvis. The round hole 2.7mm and
2.0mm plates are particularly good value. Use reconstruction plate pliers to
bend 2.7 and 3.5mm plates respectively. See page 40.
Use to spread load or retain wire or sutures. Use with cortical or selftapping screws. Spikey washers are used to reattach ligaments or secure
grafts to the femur in the OTT technique of CrCL repair.

Hybrid ‘T’ Plates
‘T’ Plates
Available for 4.0, 3.5, 2.7 and 2.0mm screws, either cortical or self tapping.
‘T’ plates are used almost exclusively for the repair of fractures of the distal
radius. In addition they may also be used in a partial carpal arthrodesis. See
page 212 for full range of profiles including TPLO plates which offer three
holes in the head.
62mm long
Actual Size
T273562
T202032
Actual Size
32mm long
The problem with many distal radius fractures is that the distal segment is
so small that it is difficult to place sufficient screws. T plates help but often
the head portion is too bulky. Hybrid ‘T’ plates provide a solution.
The screwholes in the head are smaller and closer together than those
in the shaft.
Two sizes are available 2.7/3.5 and 1.5/2.0
Both plates will accept the same screw in the head as in the shaft but with
reduced range of screw angle.
The longer plate is useful for complex distal radius fractures and
corrective osteotomies.

Biological Healing Plates
Supracondylar Plates
NEW
Supracondylar femoral fractures in mature animals can be very difficult to
repair. Small fragment size makes placement of sufficient implants a
challenge. In medium and large dogs there are often multiple small
fragments in the supracondylar area. The forces acting on the distal femur
are complex requiring a special plate to neutralise them. The 2.7 and
3.5mm plates were developed by Mark Glyde using finite element analysis.
BHP2008065
These plates are designed to bridge a section of shattered long bone. It
effectively acts as a buttress plate. No attempt is made to reconstruct. The
fracture site is not disturbed to minimise de-vitalisation and contamination.
The plate maintains length and permits weight bearing. Use of these plates
avoids leaving empty screw holes over the fracture site which significantly
weakens the construct. Plates are available in 7 or 8 hole versions. Each
type of plate is available in a range of lengths.
Available in a range of sizes and lengths. 2.0, 2.7, 3.5 narrow and 3.5 broad
(two lengths). Use bending templates to pre-contour plates.
SUPRACONDYLAR PLATES
BHP2008065 the cat femur plate is contoured for the average cat femur.
Use when proximal and distal sections are intact and the body of the femur
is un-reconstructable. If it cannot be reconstructed it is better not to try.

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

Pancarpal Arthrodesis Plate (Hybrid Plates)
Hybrid Plates
Pantarsal Arthrodesis Plate (medial)
‘Off the shelf’ we have a 3.5mm plate bent at 135 degrees tapering to
2.7mm holes distally. This plate applied to the medial aspect of the joint fits
in most cases. The plate was developed using our experience of producing
custom plates. The plate is especially strengthened at the stress point
around the talus screw. If this plate is not suitable please send a radiograph
or tracing and we will design and make a plate for you. If you are faxing a
drawing please draw a line 100mm long prior to transmission. See page
234 for an actual size profile of the 2.7/3.5mm plate. Use a tibio
calcaneous position screw to maximise stability.
NEW
Pancarpal arthrodesis is a regular procedure in veterinary orthopaedics.
Standard plates tend to be either too big for the metacarpal or too small for
the radius. Our range of hybrid carpal arthrodesis plates tries to give you
the best of both worlds.
The taper on the distal part of the plate makes closure easier and
automatically produces an angle of around 5 degrees. (See page 233 for
plate profiles.)
Our 3.5/2.7 Hybrid Pantarsal plate has proved very popular. Based on our
database of manufacturing custom plates for small dogs and cats we are
now in a position to offer two further plates as standard. Surgeons are
encouraged to check the patient’s radiograph against our Pantarsal
Arthrodesis profile sheet on page 234 of this catalogue or as a download
from www.vetinst.com. Both are designed for medial application. Lateral
application is acceptable if circumstances dictate. However, you must order
the ‘wrong’ side.
Some surgeons prefer greater coverage of the metacarpals than is offered
by our standard plates. We now offer an extra long plate which is designed
to give over 50% coverage of the metacarpal segment.
For partial carpal arthrodesis try our TPLO plates (see page 231). Also
useful for pantarsal arthrodesis, intertarsal arthrodesis, distal tibial fracture
and distal humerus fractures.
Small Dog 135 degrees 2.7/2.0mm. This plate will fit most patients
requiring 2.7mm screws in the tibia and 2.0mm screws in the metatarsals.
PANCARPAL ARTHRODESIS PLATES DCP STYLE
Cat 120 degrees 2.7/2.0(1.5)mm. This plate is designed to perform
arthrodesis to the compromised calcanoquartal (hock) joint which is
commonly subject to shearing injuries or fracture dislocations. Proximally
the plate will accept 2.7mm screws. Distally the plate will accept either
2.0mm and 1.5mm screws.

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 33. 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.

The free end of the wire is threaded through the eye. The cerclage is
tightened using the special tightener. Requires 001262 wire tightener or for
wire twisting instruments see pages 38 and 39.
Occasionally tapped threads strip and a larger screw is appropriate. Lag
screws are particularly vulnerable as only one cortex is available.
A cortical nut manufactured from implant grade nylon gives the screw
purchase allowing normal tightening. The thread form is designed to grip
the screw to minimise 'backing out'. Available in 2.7mm, 3.5mm and 4.5mm
cortical thread forms. Supplied as a single sterile pack. The 4.5 nut is also

Bone Pin Storage
Bone Pin Roll
Bone pin storage and sterilisation
is difficult. Pins are long and
sharp. The bone pin roll stores at
least one of each pin.
BONE PIN ROLL
090038
£27.55
Bone Pin Roll
Bone Pin Tubes
Simple, cheap and often the best technique for the repair of long bones.
I/M pinning does not resist compression and rotation very effectively. It
may be helpful to add an external fixator for two weeks if in any doubt.
Smooth pins are most likely to migrate. The threaded pins are negatively
cut and do reduce backing out particularly if the distal fragment is small.
Our Trochar tips are designed to cut bone but care must be exercised to
avoid heat necrosis during insertion. Can be cut in half to produce cheap
ESF pins. Most pins chucks will only take 1/4" pins.* Do not purchase a
5/16” pin unless you have a chuck to insert it. Use 1.0mm wire minimum as
a cerclage.

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

Interlocking Nail Bolts
Trilam Nails
Unicortical and self tapping. Use of these bolts shortens operative time
considerably. Bolts come as a standard length and are cut to size
(recommended IN Bolt Cutter, 001229). Pilot drill is same as the bolt
diameter.
Traditional intra-medullary pins and nails have
poor resistance to rotational forces.
The tri-finned TRILAM NAIL is very effective in
dealing with this problem. Available in a range
of sizes, requires dedicated instrumentation.
There is a set available including nails, drivers
and cutters in a box.

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

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

Pre Evacuated Bottle Drains
Supplied sterile with a passive drainage reservoir the pigtail catheter is
stiffened by a sharp insertion stylet. The drain is guided into postion by
either direct palpation or by ultrasound. Once the tip of the catheter is in
position the stylet is withdrawn allowing the tip to coil into the
characteristic ‘pigtail’ shape. The pigtail shape makes the catheter self
retaining and minimises obstruction of the drain holes by soft tissues.
The drain holes sit on the inside of the coil.
Cavities which may be drained using the pigtail catheter include:
obstructed bladders, prostatic cysts, abcesses and the chest. The
standard luer lock connector connects either to the passive drainage
reservoir (supplied) or a pre-evacuated container.
The 400ml bottle is supplied pre-evacuated complete with perforated drain
and introducing needle. The bottle creates a much higher vacuum more
appropriate for chest drains.

Spay Clamps
Angiotribes
Used exclusively in the surgical treatment of hepatic shunts the ameroid
constrictor gradually occludes the blood vessel in question allowing the
circulation to make adjustments. The clay layer expands as it absorbs water
constricting the blood vessel within. Supplied sterile. Insertion of metal
locking key prevents constrictor from slipping from blood vessel.
Angiotribes. The jaws of this instrument are designed for maximum crushing

Polyester Mesh
Removal of diseased anal sacs can be quite difficult as it can be hard to
distinguish the sac from the surrounding tissues. Filling the sac with a light
coloured wax makes the dissection much easier. The gel pack is warmed to
liquefy the contents which are then injected into the anal gland via the duct
using the blunt ended needle provided.
Spare gel packs and needles are available, please ask for details.
ANAL SAC KIT
Use polyester mesh to repair soft tissue defects where alternative
autografts are not available. For example perineal hernia (illustrated),

Tracheostomy Tube
Airway Surgery
Soft Palate Clamp
Where temporary or permanent upper airway obstruction occurs
placement of a tracheostomy tube is a life saving procedure. Our tubes are
silver plated with a removable lining for easier cleaning.
An overlong palate is a common cause of dyspnoea in the brachiocephalic
dog. Shortening the soft palate in an atraumatic manner provides almost
immediate relief.
Metal tubes have a much thinner wall than plastic tubes. This becomes
particularly critical in smaller patients.
The Soft Palate Clamp was designed by Geoff Lane F.R.C.V.S.
TRACHEOSTOMY TUBE
The jaws have a special atraumatic grip to hold the very slippery soft palate.

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.

The sclerotic bone around the auditory meatus of the diseased ear is some
of the hardest found in the body. Total canal ablation (TCA) requires that
the rim of the meatus is nibbled away to ensure that all skin is removed.
The bulla rongeurs have a small bite (3mm) but are relatively heavy in
construction. The compound action allows the appropriate force to be
applied without undue effort on the part of the surgeon.

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

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.
PIEZO SCALER WITH DETACHABLE, AUTOCLAVABLE HANDPIECE
1020
Supplied with 5 tips this is a reliable unit at a very reasonable price. If you
cannot afford the 42-12 this is the best scaler for you. It will require a water
source. Either plug straight into your iM3 unit or purchase our pump up
water bottle. CE marked.

iM3 is an exclusively veterinary dental equipment company. iM3
understands the special requirements of veterinary dentists and has
produced a range of products to meet these requirements. Reliability and
quality of construction are key features. iM3 units are designed to last and
last. Older units can be upgraded to current specification. Most specialist
teachers recommend iM3.
Freshens mouth
Disinfects mouth & machine
Improves bur cutting
Minimises cross contamination with Felv FIX
Used in the water system of dental units CLS
freshens and sterilises the mouth. When used as
coolant for high speed handpieces cutting
efficiency is improved . It prevents transfer of
FeLV and it can also be flushed through the air
turbines to sterilise and lubricate them using the
iM3 CLS flushing system.
iM3 42-12 Ultrasonic Scaler
The unique composition of CLS allows use of
chlorhexidine in all dental equipment. Standard
chlorhexidine crystallises out from solution and
will damage your equipment. Do not use regular
chlorhexidine in dental units as it will crystallise
out in the handpieces rendering them inoperative.
Purchase of the larger pack sizes gives significant
savings.

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

Air Driven Dental Units
All of the Ultra options are available for the GS, apart from suction and
automatic handpieces. An air driven unit at an affordable price. If you don't
require suction this unit has all you need. Being less demanding in its air
requirements the GS can be run from a mid-priced quiet compressor.
To obtain the truly high speeds required for drilling and burring an air
driven dental unit is necessary. Veterinary Instrumentation can supply three
levels of air driven dental machines. The iM3 Ultra is state of the art, the
iM3 GS is a midrange unit built to the same standards as the Ultra. The
Veterinary Instrumentation Minicart is a straightforward unit containing all
the essentials of an air driven dental machine. All are offered as a complete
set up for cutting and polishing but all can be modified by the addition of
further handpieces and accessories.
Listed below is a typical set up but many other options are possible We
would be happy to run through the various possibilities. The main choice is
between the non- Fibre Optic version and the Fibre Optic version. Details
of both are shown below.
The GS is supplied with the following handpieces: Push button Highspeed,
low speed motor, 4:1 straight nose cone and a starter pack of oscillating
prophy cups. Many other handpiece options are available.
iM3 GS
Consider also the Rabbit option and the Diamond saw option (see page

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 iM3 units is made from white Corian which is good to look at and
easy to clean. On the Ultra the top lifts up to reveal a large storage area for
handpieces burs etc. A magnetic zone at the front ‘captures’ burs and
prevents them from falling onto the floor.
Handpieces
The iM3 Ultra is supplied complete with the following handpieces. MidWest

VI Mini Cart
Options
Rabbit Option
Rasping is a very inefficient method of levelling rabbit and rodent molars.
The best method is the use of side cutting burs. Our rabbit bur kit includes
2 of each of the most useful handpiece burs which fit the 1:1 straight nose
cone. They are housed in a custom made stainless block which also has
holes for your favourite friction grip burs for the high speed. To minimise
damage to the cheek and tongue, a soft tissue protector is highly
recommended. The soft tissue protector and burs were developed by David
Crossley. See our rodent dentistry section page 153 for further details.
Supplied as a complete package the Veterinary Instrumentation Mini Cart
includes all the essential elements for a veterinary air unit. Made in the UK
to our specification.
The Mini Cart is supplied with the following handpieces: Push button
highspeed, low speed motor, polishing attachment and pack of prophy
cups. Many other handpiece options are available to fit the standard
outlets.
Consider also the Rabbit option and the Diamond saw option. Any scaler
will work with the Mini Cart without the requirement for a pump up water
bottle.

1:1 Attachment and Contra Angle (Latch) Head
Handpieces
High Speed Handpiece
iM3 Pushbutton
The 1:1 attachment pushes directly onto the low speed motor and
transmits actual motor speed to the head fitting (it has a blue band). The
head may be either a prophy head or a contra angle (right angle) head.
Midwest Leverlock
The contra angle head offers a higher torque than the high speed. The
speed is limited to 24,000rpm. A range of contra burs is available as bur kit
D752.
Running with high speed and low torque this handpiece is designed to
remove tooth or bone as part of extraction or repair techniques. Use of
Roto Pro burs (see page 142) allows the high speed to be used as an
ultrasonic scaler for tartar removal. Only Friction Grip burs fit the high
speed. Fine water jets cool the bur. The fibre optic version illuminates the
operative area with a brilliant cold light. Available as push button or
leverlock. The leverlock action of Midwest is very reliable and makes bur
tightening virtually foolproof in that no judgement is required

Running with low speed (24.000 rpm) and high torque, this motor is used
to drive several dental accessories e.g. straight nose cone, prophy heads
and the latch head. The motor has forward and reverse, controlled by a
collar near the motor base. The accessories listed will also fit directly onto
electric drive micromotors such as the Nouvag NM300 see page 144.
The 4:1 attachment gears down the low speed to around 6000rpm with
very high torque which is the best speed for polishing teeth. It has a green
band and is used to drive prophy heads. We recommend the screw-on type
prophy cups.
LOW SPEED MOTOR
L698
Lynx Low Speed Motor Only
Prophy cups are used in conjunction with abrasive prophy paste to polish
teeth following scaling. Failure to polish will result in a rapid build up of new
plaque.
£301.72
Straight Nose Cone
Screw On Prophy Head
This accessory pushes directly onto
the low speed motor and drives a
range of handpiece (HP) burs and the
diamond disc. This combination is
used to cut rabbit teeth and drill holes
in bone. In addition HP burs may be
used in the straight nose in spinal
procedures. 6,000rpm is the
recommended maximum speed for
prophy cups. If using an air driven unit
we advise the 4:1 reduction straight
nose cone (green/green band). If using
an electric micromotor the 1:1 may be
used but turn the maximum speed
down to 6000rpm.
Far fewer problems with hair and prophy paste.
Snap On Prophy Head
Widely used but has some problems in veterinary dentistry. Muzzle hair
becomes caught behind the ‘button’ and when combined with prophy
paste quickly degrades the head.

Oscillating Prophy Head
Dental Machines
Roto-Pro Burs
Developed for human dentistry to combat the risk of HIV the disposable
prophy head is surprisingly cheap and minimises the risk of FeLV and FIV
transmission. The oscillating action means there is no heat build-up on the
tooth surface and ‘snagging’ on muzzle hair is minimal. Available in packs of
25 or 100. The oscillating disposable prophy fits onto the straight nose cone
to achieve the correct running speed. Use 4:1 nose cone with air equipment
which takes the speed down to a maximum of 6,000rpm. Electrical
micromotors can use the 1:1 nose cone provided the maximum speed is
adjusted down to 6,000rpm. Use coarse prophy paste for best results.
When run in a high speed handpiece roto-pro burs produce vibrations at
20,000 cycles per second. These burs are very effective for removing
calculus. The action is quite aggressive so care must be exercised.

Prophy Paste
Useful Burs
Prophy paste is an abrasive
polishing compound used in
conjunction with prophy cups
and brushes to create a highly
polished enamel surface which is
resistant to tartar build up. Use
regular paste for rotating cups
and coarse paste for oscillating
prophy heads.
Each dental bur has its own unique code which is made up of the shaft type
followed by the head number followed by the material it is made of, e.g. FG
702 D is a Friction Grip Bur (for the high speed hand piece), the 702 head
is a taper fissure cross cut and is made of Diamond.
Diamond burs create less heat and last longer.

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

Explorer / Measuring Probe
Jaquette Supragingival Scaler
A detailed examination of the patient's mouth is the starting point of any
dental care programme. This double-ended instrument is all you need.
The shepherd’s crook explorer is used to test tooth stability and the
condition of the gum margins. Tartar and gum disease cause detachment of
the gingivae exposing the tooth root.
This scaler is used to remove tartar from above the gum margin. The tip
and back of the instrument is sharp to scrape between teeth. Do not use
below the gum margin. Double-ended with a balanced grip handle for ease
of use and comfort.
The depth of these sulci are measured using the measuring probe. Details
are recorded for subsequent treatment and comparisons.

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

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

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

Small Incisor Forceps
The tips of these forceps are ideal for the removal of single rooted, usually
incisor teeth. Cross-hatched thumb area for extra control. Tips meet.
SMALL INCISOR FORCEPS
Our spring loaded tartar forceps are designed to sit comfortably in the hand
to enable the veterinary dentist to remove quickly bulky deposits from teeth.

Tartar Forceps
These tartar forceps are designed specifically for the removal of bulky tartar
prior to scaling and polishing. One jaw is cup shaped to locate onto the
tooth tip and act as a fulcrum for the other jaw. The other jaw is a sharp
hook to engage the tartar at the gum margin. The jaws are designed to
remove tartar from both flat surfaces and between teeth.
Removal of fragmented roots can be a challenge particularly if the roots
themselves are healthy. A combination of elevation and forcep work is
usually required. The set of three forceps with differing jaw angles covers all
situations. The handles are anatomical and ergonomic.

Hawksbill Forceps
The multi-rooted teeth of the dog and cat should be loose before extraction
by forceps. The loosening may be due to dental disease or careful elevation.
As well as firmly gripping the tooth to be extracted appropriate dental
forceps should support the tooth structure. None of the several hundred
human forceps available suit the teeth of our patients. The Hawksbill
forceps are designed specifically for the extraction of multi-rooted teeth in
the dog and cat.

Biopsy Needles - Bone
Bone Marrow Biopsy - Jamshidi Type
VI Type biopsy needle - BMBJV11
BMBJV18A
In the Jamshidi type needle the integral stylet locks into the lumen of the
needle preventing obstruction by debris. When the needle tip is in the
desired location the stylet is removed and the sample aspirated.
Designed as a cost effective version of the Baxter needles (below left),
takes both marrow and core samples. Drive into a suitable site (wing of
ilium, tuber ischium, proximal femur), pull back a little, withdraw stylet and
aspirate. If there is no aspirate, replace stylet, push in further and repeat.
Manufactured to our specification, these needles represent excellent value.
The 11gauge needle with the stylet removed may be used to take a 1.5mm
approx. core of bone from tumours for typing. (see also bone trephines).

Rabbit Lachrymal Duct Cannulae
Biopsy Needles Soft Tissue
Tru-Cut Style
Treatment of chronic eye infections in the rabbit can be very unrewarding
with topical ophthalmic preparations alone. It is now accepted that flushing
the large nasolachrymal duct punctum to remove accumulations of pus is
an essential adjunct to the topical therapy.
This procedure is usually well tolerated by the rabbit under sedation and
local anaesthetic eye drops. The angle and lengths of standard ophthalmic
cannula are incorrect for this procedure.
Used to sample liver, kidney and other soft tissues with minimal trauma.
Takes just a small sliver of tissue. Disposable but will withstand boiling.
Needle is”locked” and when released spring loaded cutting needle takes
the biopsy.
Veterinary Instrumentation’s Rabbit Lachrymal Duct Cannula is designed
especially for this procedure and is available in two sizes, 19 gauge and 21
gauge.

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

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

Introduction

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

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.

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.
melag type23 B
In human hospitals it is a requirement that printed records are created and
kept of each cycle. Now that MRSA infections are also appearing in
veterinary practice it would seem reasonable that we should do the same.
Highest specification Class B Bench top vacuum autoclave conforming to
prEN13060/1-4 Fractionated Pre-Vacuum, with sub atmospheric pulsing.
Why MELAG?
Simple Choice of Programs
Conformation - International regulation prEN13060/1-4 categorises
autoclaves as types N, S and B according to their operational parameters
and intended applications. All Melag autoclaves conform.
Independent Validation - Melag Type B autoclaves have been
independently validated by a leading German University and have exceeded
the requirements of prEN13060/1-4 for Class B Autoclaves.
Water Purity - Only the best quality demineralised or sterile water should
be used to avoid autoclave malfunction and possible long term damage.
Melag type B machines automatically check water quality before each
cycle. If the sterilising water contains impurities the autoclave will inform
the operator and prevent use of the contaminated water. This feature is
unique to Melag and significantly contributes to Melag’s enviable
reputation for long term reliability and longevity.

Water Cycle - Melag type B autoclaves allow the user a choice of either
one-way or water recirculation. With either system the autoclave will
inform the user when refilling or draining is required
Simplicity - Simple push button operation. With its large back lit
alphanumeric display Melag informs the user of the cycle chosen and
stages reached within the cycle.
melag prog 2
Comprehensive cycles - The user has a wide choice of cycles for different
load types.
Quick Cycle, 134c 2.1 bar, suitable for unwrapped instruments only which
are required for rapid re-use. Rapid sterilization in approx. 15 minutes.
Documentation - For security every Melag Type B machine includes a
printer which comprehensively documents every cycle and sterilizing event.
Alternatively each Melag B can be supplied with MelaWin software which
runs unobtrusively in the background. This programme archives every
cycle. These are available for printing and examination.
Reliability and longevity - All Melag autoclaves are manufactured from the
highest quality materials available. Pressure chambers and doors are
manufactured from stainless steel, pressure lines and pipes from Teflon
and all other parts in contact with water from bronze. Door seals are
manufactured from long life silicon. Lifetime chamber guarantee. Melag

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

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

Conventional ‘Tec’ Vapouriser Systems
Although based on a circle system, the internal resistance to breathing of
this circuit is very low. This is due to the extremely lightweight valves used
in the uni-directional assembly. These valves are not spring loaded as is the
case with many circle systems. Any animal which can be intubated may be
safely anaesthetised using the Stephens system. Miniature dogs and cats
do particularly well.
Circuit dead space is also very low. Fresh gas is available at the "Y" mount.
Rebreathing is minimal.
The anaesthetic circuit is of the circle type, with the vapouriser placed
within the circuit on the inspiratory side. Most anaesthetic systems in use
in the UK today have the vapouriser out of circuit. A video illustrating the
use of the Stephens with various species and Isoflurane is available on free
loan.
In an apparatus of this type the animal inhales gas from the reservoir bag.
Some or all of the inhaled gas can be caused to flow over the volatile liquid
anaesthetic agent contained within the vapouriser. After leaving the
vapouriser, the gas mixture passes along the inspiratory side of the circle to
a mask or endotracheal tube and then to the animal's lungs. On exhalation
the gas is directed along the expiratory side of the circle, through the two
soda lime canisters and then into the reservoir bag by means of a set of
unidirectional valves.
Anaesthetic machines using calibrated "TEC" type vapourisers deliver into
the circuit a gas mixture containing a specified percentage of volatile. In
non-rebreathing circuits the patient will breathe this exact mixture. In
circuits where some rebreathing occurs, the gas mix will not be the same as
dialed on the vapouriser.
Veterinary Instrumentation's vapourisers are serviced
and re-calibrated prior to sale.

iM3 masks are designed for rapid induction of anaesthesia with a minimum
of fuss and minimum pollution. They all have the following features.
• Very low dead space, important when masking down using circle systems
• Removeable rubber diaphragm which minimises gas leaks and permits
cleaning.
• Made from virtually indestructable pvc which will not degrade like the
latex rubber type.

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

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

Doppler Ultrasonic Blood Flow Monitor
Medifusion MP-1000
Non-invasive blood pressure monitoring. Hypertension is often overlooked
during diagnosis, treatment and routine physical examinations in small
animals. In addition many hypotensive patients, such as those suffering from
shock, benefit greatly from Doppler measurement of blood pressure when
knowing the pressure can mean effective and timely treatment.
Combining Doppler with an appropriate sized 'cuff' for small animals,
provides the veterinarian with the same non-invasive method for testing
blood pressure as is available in human medicine. A small probe is placed
over a peripheral artery (e.g digital or coccygeal). An ultrasonic crystal in the
probe transmits pulse wave sound back to the amplifier. The pressure cuff
is inflated until the pulse sound is no longer audible. The cuff is slowly
deflated, using the manometer, until pulse sounds are audible once more, at
which point the manometer displays a numeric value of the animal's systolic
pressure.
The Medifusion MP-1000 is a high performance easy-to-use infusion pump.
• Compatible with the majority of IV sets (programmable)
• Flow rate 0.1 to 999ml
• Volume 0.1 to 9999ml

Examination of the ears of dogs and cats is part of the daily routine in small
animal practice. Owner and surgeon can view the same monitor screen, the
explanation of clinical findings is made very much easier. At any time it is
possible to introduce a biopsy or a grasping forceps through the working
channel.
Mutual, real time observation (with freeze frame option) of the ear canal
can demonstrate to the owner a serious problem not normally visible . Poor
owner compliance is recognised as a common reason for treatment failure.
Viewing the problem together leads to much more committment by the
owner.
The Video Diagnostic System is a new generation of endoscopic video
camera system. Both video camera and cold light source are combined
within one unit. Similarly, both cold light and camera electronics are
integrated into one cable. The camera head is fitted with the TWIN Lock
connection which allows the use of multiple diagnostic heads, including:
Cleaning and disinfection is much more convenient and faster, compared
with conventional otoscopes.

Electrosurgery
Electrosurgery BiPolar
Clinical Furniture
HF 122 is a complete innovation in the electrosurgery field. It is a high
frequency-electronic scalpel suitable for microcoagulation, small and
medium MonoPolar surgery and BiPolar coagulation. The following
MonoPolar modes of operation are available via the control panel: pure
cutting (CUT), coagulated cutting (COAG), MonoPolar coagulation and
microcoagulation (BLEND). Additionally with BiPolar forceps, bipolar
coagulation and microcoagulation are available.
Electrosurgery MonoPolar
Safety Alarm
Open Circuit (OC) Alarm warns the user that connection into the neutral
plate has not been made or that the cable is disconnected. The alarm is
signalled with an intermittent beep together with a flashing red light on the
front panel. In this condition HF emission for cut and coagulation operation
is switched off. Meets all EC standards for this type of equipment
Overheat Alarm
Should the final module in the HF generator overheat, the unit incorporates
an internal circuit protection which cuts off operation. In this condition the
red OVH warning light illuminates and the user must wait until the
generator cools down, about 20 sec, before recommencing. The module
will not go into protection mode as long as the instruction for operation as
described in the manual are followed.
Kit includes:
• Two button MonoPolar handle
• Foot control
• Flat neutral plate
• 6 short MonoPolar electrodes
This new HF 106 electrosurgery unit is particularly suitable for small
procedures. The 50 watt unit offers precision of cut with immediate
coagulation. There is a choice of 10 electrodes. The three modes of
operation, CUT, COAG and BLEND, can be easily selected through a switch
on the front panel. Meets all EC standards for this type of equipment. The
package includes HF 106 with all accessories including electrode handle,
flat neutral plate, foot switch and a kit of 6 electrodes 5 cm long.
• BiPolar cable and forceps

K9 Float Coat
The use of water treadmills and/or swimming as non weight bearing
exercise are becoming increasingly popular in canine rehabilitation.
Necessary precautions should include the use of a quality life preserver
with the means of rapid removal from the water.
Can be used by either two people with one at each end or by a single
person utilising the wheels at one end.
The Float Coat has a durable nylon shell with an ergonomic fit. The coat
has high buoyancy and a low profile assistance handle. The handle and coat
are strong enough to support and lift the dog from the water. Secured by
quick release buckles the Float Coat is supplied in yellow and black. Also
useful for dogs who love the water but are not as strong a swimmer as they
used to be.
The frame is lightweight coated steel. The stretcher is made from heavy
duty re-inforced nylon. Three 2” (50mm) straps are provided for patient
security. 24”(600mm) x 48”(1200mm)

The safe use of hydrotherapy should include either a float coat or, for
experienced swimmers, a safety harness. Patients should not be swimming
with a simple collar. The Web Master Harness is comfortable and
cushioned in all the right areas but strong enough to lift the dog from
the water.
Manufactured from heavy duty nylon with quick release buckle. Designed
with hydrotherapy in mind but also useful as a mobility assist in any dog
unsure of its footing into cars or up steps etc.
Colour is black and red.

Compound Action Nail Clippers
Aluminium and plastic rings frequently prevent venous return from the
distal limb of small birds. Oedema and necrosis quickly follow unless the
ring is removed. Removal of the ring without fracturing the leg is not easy
without this special cutting tool.

Rabbit Ring Cutters
Nail Clippers Standard

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

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

The limited availability of cadaver training programs means that basic
orthopaedic techniques must be practiced on plastic bones. Our plastic
