Uses
-
Treatment of Teat Strictures and Stenosis: It is used to gradually widen a teat canal that has become abnormally narrow due to injury, scar tissue, or congenital conditions.
-
Addressing "Hard Milkers": Animals that are difficult to milk due to a tight teat sphincter can be treated with this dilator to ease milk flow and reduce milking time.
-
Post-Surgical Dilation: Following surgery on the teat (e.g., tumor removal), a dilator is often used to prevent the canal from healing shut and to maintain a functional diameter.
-
Maintenance of Teat Patency: For animals with chronic issues, periodic dilation can be performed to maintain the patency of the teat canal and prevent recurring obstructions

How To Use
Using the Teat Dilator with Screw requires a sterile environment and a gentle approach to avoid causing pain or injury to the animal.
-
Preparation: The instrument must be thoroughly cleaned and sterilized. The animal’s teat should also be prepped with a veterinary antiseptic solution.
-
Insertion: The closed, blunt tips of the dilator are carefully and gently inserted into the teat canal.
-
Dilation: Once the tips are in place, the screw mechanism is slowly turned. This gradually separates the jaws, gently expanding the teat canal. The practitioner should use a steady, slow motion to avoid causing trauma.
-
Removal: Once the desired dilation is achieved, the screw is turned in the reverse direction to close the jaws, and the instrument is carefully removed.
-
Post-Procedure Care: The teat should be disinfected again, and appropriate post-procedure care should be followed to prevent infection.
