The 2-Blade Teat Slitter is a highly specialized veterinary instrument designed to surgically correct obstructions within the teat canal of dairy cows and other lactating animals. Made from high-grade stainless steel, this instrument features two finely ground blades that are deployed to cut and clear blockages. By restoring proper milk flow, the teat slitter helps to prevent conditions like mastitis and ensures the productivity and well-being of the animal. This tool is essential for dairy farmers and veterinarians who manage the health of their milking herds.
 
How To Use:
Diagnosis: The veterinarian first diagnoses the presence of an obstruction in the teat canal through palpation and examination.
Preparation: The animal is restrained, and the udder and teat are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. Local anesthetic is typically administered to the teat to minimize pain.
Insertion: The sterilized teat slitter is carefully inserted into the teat canal.
Deployment & Incision: The blades are then deployed and the instrument is gently pulled outward, creating a small, controlled incision to cut through the obstruction. This may be done multiple times if necessary.
Aftercare: After the procedure, the teat is disinfected again, and the veterinarian provides instructions for post-operative care, which may include antibiotic treatment to prevent infection.
