STONE'S HENDERSON CASTRATING INSTRUMENTS
EQUINE AND BOVINE
PATENTED, DESIGNED, AND MANUFACTURED EXCLUSIVELY BY STONE.
The new Henderson Equine Castrating Instrument is a redesigned version of the Henderson Castration Tool that was introduced in 1994 for castrating bulls. The Henderson Tool has been used by veterinarians and livestock producers on thousands of bulls in the last eight years and has proven to be safe, easy, fast, and cost effective. Castration with the Henderson method results in little or no blood loss, less stress, swelling, infection and trauma.
The major design difference between the Henderson Equine Castrating Instrument and the Henderson Castrating Tool for cattle is a wider opening in the plier jaws to accommodate the larger cords in stallions. Because of this, we recommend that you use the Henderson Castrating Instrument on stallions only.
- Used with a standard 14.4 volt variable speed hand drill with a neutral switch, preferably a cordless unit for convenience and safety.
- Utilizes twisting action which effectively closes the severed cord.
- Minimizes blood loss and risk of hemorrhage through the severed cord
- Reduces risk of post-castration swelling, infection and trauma
- Less chance for infection to enter the abdominal cavity.
- Appears to be less pain post surgery
- Easy to use and faster than many other forms of castration
- The Henderson Equine Castration Instrument may be used on stallions one week of age or older. Castration is usually completed at one or two years of age.
- Field tested by veterinarians.
- Heavy duty stainless steel construction for years of service.
