Featured 2024-2025 Equine Instruments & Packs at Booth No. # 2411

The equine instruments and surgical packs are designed for the evolving needs of veterinarians. Every instrument is crafted with precision, durability, and usability in mind. Key offerings include:

Equine Offset Wolf Tooth Elevator Set

The Equine Offset Wolf Tooth Elevator Set is designed to facilitate precise and efficient wolf tooth removal in horses. This set features a sturdy offset handle for improved leverage and ergonomic control, along with interchangeable small tips in 4mm, 6mm, and 8mm sizes to suit various tooth conditions.

Manufactured from high-quality stainless steel, the product is extremely durable, strong, and assures long performance life in equine dental applications. Ideal for veterinarians who need ease and precision in extractions.

Gingival Elevator

A gingival elevator is a dental instrument used to extract equine teeth. It is designed to help loosen the tooth from the gingiva during procedures. It has left and right variations to accommodate the horse's buccal and lingual curvatures. 

This dental instrument is available in multiple variations, including round tip (right and left) and pointed tip (right and left). Therefore, veterinary professionals can choose one accordingly based on the equine teeth’s needs and requirements. 

Esophageal Grasping Forceps 30" 1x2 Teeth 4.5mm Right Jaw

Esophageal Grasping Forceps 30" 1x2 Teeth 4.5mm Right Jaw is a malleable surgical instrument helpful in equine procedures. It assists veterinary professionals in grasping delicate structures in the thoracic area of the horse, passing through the esophagus. Besides the right jaw, this equine instrument is also available in the left and straight jaw.

Roaring Burr 41 1/2" Left Virginia 104cm Long

Roaring Burr 41 1/2" Left Virginia 104cm Long is an equine special surgical instrument. The name Virginia comes from the resemblance of its shape to the state of Virginia on a map. It helps veterinary practitioners during the resection of the saccule and the treatment of equine laryngeal hemiplegia (roaring).

Equine Dental Root Fragment Forceps - Delicate 45°

Equine Dental Root Fragment Forceps - Delicate 45° is specifically designed to meet the needs of veterinary dentists. It features pointed and angled tips for easy removal of dental root fragments left after the extraction procedure.

Dental Explorer Equine

The Dental Explorer Equine is used to probe the equine tooth surfaces for decay. It is also helpful to check the degree of sensitivity of the teeth by tapping on them. The curved, pointed tip, combined with the long, slim shank, can access the narrow areas of the animal’s tooth cavities.

The round, knurled handle of our Dental Explorer Equine ensures a firm grip, maximizing control during the probing. In addition, this dental instrument for equines is made from German stainless steel, reusable, delicate, and precision-made.

Equine Dental Elevator 90 Degree Angle Right 14"

Equine Dental Elevator 90 Degree Angle Right 14" is used to remove tooth fragments of molars from sockets during advanced equine extraction procedures. It features a 90-degree thin, sharp tip with a T-shaped handle to ensure a more straightforward extraction procedure. Besides angle right, this equine instrument is also available in angle up, angle left, and angle right.

Trephine Set with 3 Attachments

The trephine set, which comes with three attachments, is another reliable option for complex procedures. Surgeons employ the set during surgical procedures for removing the bones from the skull. The main counterpart is the round-shaped saw with a pin that positions on a metallic shaft that consists of a robust handle. 

The intricate structural design of the Trephine set enables the user to perform successful procedures.

Serra Modified Emasculator 13.5"

Serra Modified Emasculator 13.5" is a surgical instrument used during castration procedures to cut the spermatic cord and surrounding structures. This instrument prevents postoperative bleeding while detaching the male animal's testicles. Serrra Modified Emasculator is also available with a ratchet. 

Equine Hoof Tester

An equine hoof tester is a handy instrument for vets. This instrument is used to determine the location and intensity of pain in a horse's hoof. It is widely used to locate bruises and puncture areas on the hoof. It is also commonly used for diagnosing foot bone diseases and injuries. 

The end of one jaw is placed on the suspected site of the problem, and the other is placed on the outside of the hoof wall. The horse will try to pull away its foot if there is any pain or disease by exerting pressure. 

There are many varieties of hoof testers, each for its intended purpose. Veterinary professionals can choose the one that may be ideal for their needs.

Why Buy Instruments Directly from the Manufacturer?

Choosing the instruments directly from the manufacturer guarantees unequalled quality and accuracy. These products are tested for real-world performance, making surgeries safer, faster, and more reliable.

When it comes to GerVetUSA, especially, most veterinary professionals wonder why they should buy from us. The answer is: “We Not Only Sell But Also Manufacture Our Surgical Instruments.” When instruments are made with skill and attentiveness, they can last for a long time and serve their purpose exactly as intended.
