Calves Elastrator | Bloodless Castration Tool for Calves | SAG Surgical

Description

The calves elastrator is a specialized veterinary instrument designed for the bloodless, non-surgical castration of young male livestock . The SAG Surgical calf bander is an efficient and humane tool that applies a strong elastic band (rubber ring) around the scrotum, restricting blood flow to the testicles until they wither and detach .

This bloodless castrator is ideal for use on calves, lambs, kids, and piglets . The process is quick, reduces the risk of infection associated with open wounds, and requires minimal restraint . The castration bander is particularly effective when performed on calves under 2 days to 6 weeks of age . For best results, it is recommended to wait until both testicles have fully descended into the scrotum before applying the band .
