Calf Pulling Chains 45 inch OB Apparatus with 2 Handle Puller Hooks | SAG Surgical

Description

The calf pulling chains 45 inch OB apparatus with 2 handle puller hooks is an essential set of veterinary instruments designed for aiding in the delivery of a calf when assistance is required during birth . The SAG Surgical calf pulling chains include two high-quality 45-inch chains and two ergonomic handle puller hooks, engineered for controlled, safe traction during bovine dystocia (difficult calving) procedures.

This calf pulling chains 45 inch set is uniquely crafted from smooth, nickel-plated steel with a twisted link design that provides a good grip on the calf without causing injury . The 45-inch length of these calf pulling chains provides ample material to create a double-loop or half-hitch placement around the calf’s legs, which is the recommended practice to prevent fractures and distribute pressure . The heavy-duty construction of these calf pulling chains 45 inch has been tested to a minimum of 1,200 pounds of pull, ensuring strength and durability in critical moments .

The calf pulling apparatus includes two sturdy handle puller hooks that provide a secure, ergonomic grip for manual traction. These OB handles also serve as a connection point for a mechanical calf puller if additional force is required . Including two handles allows for the recommended practice of applying traction alternately to each leg, a crucial technique for preventing shoulder lock .

Calf pulling chains 45 inch are an indispensable part of any calving or dystocia kit . They are preferred over ropes because they are more sanitary and can be easily disinfected after each use . Properly used with a smooth, well-lubricated, and clean technique, these calf pulling chains 45 inch minimize the risk of injury to both the cow and calf .
