Welcome Dear Colleague The 2010 catalogue now has 290 pages and many chapters have been significantly changed. Orthopaedics and Joint Surgery see the greatest number of additions but in all there are over 100 new product lines spread throughout the 23 sections. Despite the large numbers of cruciate surgeries performed annually there is still little concensus as to the technique of choice. As always we support all surgeons in which ever technique they choose. While DCPs and screws will continue to be the standard bone repair system for the immediate future, locking plates and screws are becoming more popular. The need for minimal contouring is a major attraction particularly in the various TPLO procedures. The Fixin section of the catalogue has been expanded to reflect the growing interest in this locking system which requires fewer screws and relatively flexible plates.

John Lapish BSc., BVetMed., MRCVS. Chairman

The Helica hip system illustrated on this year’s cover is non cemented and rather than being ‘push fit’ like most other systems it has the additional security of being screwed into position. We are pleased to have been appointed the UK’s Midmark distributor. You may not be familiar with the name but you will recognise their products which include Matrx anaesthesia and Cardell monitors.

In 2003 John was awarded the BSAVA ‘Simon Award’ in recognition of the welfare benefits of the range of instruments he has developed for use in small animal surgery.

Best regards…..

The Company Veterinary Instrumentation was founded by John Lapish BSc., BVetMed., MRCVS. in 1986. Working in Sheffield as a small animal orthopaedic surgeon John was frustrated by the lack of appropriate instrumentation for veterinary surgical procedures. Most of the available instruments at that time were simply the smaller variants of products designed for use in human surgery. Living in Sheffield, centre of the UK Surgical Trades, John was ideally placed to try and develop one or two ideas of his own. So, working with skilled local instrument makers, John began to develop a range of instruments (initially for his own use) designed specifically for veterinary surgery. Requests for these products and suggestions for new items began to trickle in from colleagues and this reinforced the conclusion that a need existed for a specialist instrumentation service to meet the needs of the profession, and small animal orthopaedics in particular. Today the Veterinary Instrumentation range of implants and instruments includes over 4,000 items which are stocked for immediate despatch. Innovation remains a key part of our activity and John works with leading veterinary specialists from all over the world to turn new ideas into practical working instruments. Our products have the professional backup of veterinary and nursing personnel to advise on the selection and use of both instruments and implants. We are always happy to discuss any aspect of instrumentation and can help locate almost any item.

Our Veterinary Team – Here to help you: John Lapish BSC., BVetMed., MRCVS. Over 30 years experience as a veterinary surgeon with an interest in Orthopaedics and trauma. In 2003 John was awarded the BSAVA ‘Simon Award’ in recognition of the welfare benefits of the range of instruments he has developed for use in small animal surgery.

Quality Veterinary Instrumentation’s strap line is Designed by Vets for Vets and we fully understand how important it is that all instruments and implants are of the highest quality. We work exclusively with a number of manufacturers to ensure that all our products are not only exclusive to us but are of the highest quality, in terms of design, manufacture and materials. For example, there are over 200 different variants of stainless steel, thus a stainless steel screw from one manufacturer may be very different from another. Although quality standards are not mandatory within the veterinary market, we work to British and European human standards whenever they apply. For example, all our screws are manufactured in the UK by a human orthopaedic company to comply with BS 3531 and ISO 5835, so you can have complete confidence that you are buying the best. We have also designed them to work with all other manufacturers’ products, even those where there is not a published specification (e.g. S.O.P™) to allow you the freedom to choose your supplier. If you are interested in seeing plates or screws being manufactured, please contact info@vetinst.com and we will organise a visit.

Life Time Warranty Veterinary Instrumentation has been offering a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defect on its surgical instruments for over 25 years and we are delighted that many of our instruments are still providing good service after decades of use. We seek to minimise problems by offering the highest quality products but if you purchase an instrument that either fails or does not perform, we will gladly repair or replace the instrument free of charge.

Returns Veterinary Instrumentation has always operated a flexible approach to product returns, particularly regarding orthopaedic plates and screws. We fully understand that some procedures may require a range of plate options and screw sizes to be available as it may not be possible for the surgeon to make an informed decision until the operation is underway. To access this service, please mention that you may be returning products when you place the order and return all unwanted products/sizes in or with their original packaging. This is necessary to comply with our “sale or return” policy in our Terms and Conditions. Your order will then be invoiced as normal and a credit raised when the goods are returned. Postage costs for returned products are always the responsibility of the customer. Any returns after more than 30 days may be declined.

Website During 2009 the website has been developed and now has over 3000 pages of useful information. The website has many training materials including procedural instructions, training aids, technical papers and free video downloads. In addition the on-line shop now allows you to purchase any of our products on your account or by credit card. Also during 2009 a new website www.vetinst.eu has been launched for customers based in Germany and Austria . Delivery to Germany and Austria on orders over €125 is free for orders placed through the website. Additional products and information will be added throughout 2010.

Cruciate Training

Management of Cranial Cruciate Disease

The best training in any of the available techniques is by attending an organised training course ideally followed by hands on training in the company of an experienced surgeon. Veterinary Instrumentation run some labs as do our training partners. Please check our training page on the website www.vetinst.com for available courses. BSAVA, ECVS, ESVOT and other bodies also run cruciate labs.

Rupture of the Canine Cruciate Ligament (CrCL) remains, by a significant margin, the most commonly encountered veterinary orthopaedic condition in both general and referral practice. It is now generally agreed that most ruptures of the Cranial Cruciate Ligament (CrCL) in the dog are part of a degenerative process rather than a purely traumatic condition. Trauma may be involved at the point of rupture but the ligament is largely degenerate at this stage. This is particularly true of young large and giant breeds. This is a very different situation to cruciate ligament rupture in man and how things used to be in veterinary surgery 30 years ago when a cruciate rupture was something which occurred when a dog caught its hind leg in a hole whilst running.

However, we do appreciate that access to courses is not always possible and we do therefore offer a training DVD free of cost to provide guidance. Included on each technique is: Video. A colour pictoral Step by Step Guide. Frequently asked questions on the technique. Instrument and implant check lists.

Early, partial CrCL ruptures may be recognised and if managed appropriately, complete rupture may be avoided.

All are very much a personal view but may be of interest. In addition hard paper copy guides are also available for most techniques. Again see below for availability. Most videos are also available via the web at www.vetinst.com but the quality will be lower than the disc version.

This change in circumstance makes it difficult for us to compare outcomes of the various techniques which have been practiced for the past 50 years. The choice of techniques is huge, suggesting that none are perfect. They may be divided broadly into two groups. Those which attempt to replace the anatomy or function of the original ligament and those which seek to moderate the effects of a cruciate deficient stifle.

It is recommended that cadaver work or further observation is carried prior to performing any new technique on clinical cases. If we have updates they will be posted on www.vetinst.com

Techniques which replace either the physical ligament or its function include: Patsaama Over the Top Technique DeAngelis lateral suture and derivatives TightRope and similar techniques. All of the above attempt to stabilise the stifle by replacing the ligament or its function. Techniques which moderate the effects of the cruciate deficient stifle by altering the dynamics of the forces acting on it include: Tibial Plateau Levelling Osteotomy (TPLO) Radial cut Tibial Plateau Levelling Osteotomy (TPLO) Wedge cut Tibial Tubercle Advancement (TTA) Triple Tibial Osteotomy (TTO) All of the above alter the forces acting on the stifle to make it stable under ‘load’. Normal canine activity creates a huge variety of loads and these techniques do not create stability in all circumstances leaving the meniscus vulnerable. Which is the best? On the basis of published work to date, there are few scientific grounds, in terms of outcome, to choose between any of the available techniques. In the hands of a competant surgeon the likely outcome is ‘good’. It seems that the differences between surgeons is as great as the difference between techniques. However, there are many difference between the various techniques in terms of expertise required, equipment necessary and cost. Without the relevant data many surgeons elect to have ‘faith with the theory’ pending definitive results. There seems to be concensus on certain points. Small dogs appear to respond well to extra-capsular techniques whereas some kind of tibial geometry altering technique is perhaps preferable to a lateral suture in large and working dogs. This appears to be backed up by the experience of physiotherapists working to rehabilitate dogs. Having said that the techniques are not mutually exclusive. A common indication for a tibial plateau technique is a failed lateral suture. The reverse is not true. A failed tibial plateau technique is unlikely to respond to a lateral suture. Currently there are no published techniques which combine a tibial plateau altering procedure with one which stabilises the stifle. Late meniscal injuries are always a risk in an unstable stifle.

The use of monofilament nylon as a lateral suture (De Angelis style) is accepted as a method of repair of the cranial cruciate ligament (CCL). Heavy gauge monofilament nylon (100lb, 80lb and 50lb breaking strain) is difficult to tie without making a large knot, which tends to stretch and irritate the soft tissues causing pain and seromas. In addition it is difficult to sterilise. Autoclaving reduces the strength and increases the elasticity of nylon. Veterinary Instrumentation's Lateral Suture System uses nylon sterilized by Ethylene Oxide together with a crimp tube, a method of joining the nylon already well established in other industries. For procedure details see www.vetinst.com or request our free DVD ‘Surgical Management of Canine Cranial Cruciate Disease’.

Double Leader Line + Needle + Crimps For the application of double lines with the single pass of a needle DOUBLE LEADER LINE + NEEDLE + CRIMPS

Some CCL deficient patients benefit from the use of double sutures. This is particularly true of very large dogs and 100lb line. Passing a second needle behind the fabella risks damaging both the first line and the peri-fabellar structures which ultimately will hold the nylon sutures. Double line, swaged on sutures allows the placement of two lines with one pass of the needle. Available as single sterile pack. The double line is available swaged on as a loop without crimps and will, therefore, be of interest to those surgeons using the self-locking McKee/Miller knot (VCOT 1999;12:78-80).

However, if you wish to sterilise your own nylon we offer appropriate needles. They are shown below approximately actual size.

Loop Tension Devices Prior to crimping it is suggested that the loop be tensioned sufficiently to eliminate the anterior draw, but not enough to create an outward rotation. This may be achieved by a number of methods:

The compound action crimper delivers a more powerful and controlled crimp than our simple action device. The angle of the jaws gives the surgeon a better view than straight variants. The handles sit almost parallel to the table surface which is more comfortable. In the relaxed postion the compound action crimper sits more easily in the hand than market alternatives.

Bone Tunnel Borer

091132A-CCL Loop-Tensioner

Leader line gripped by thumbscrew.

Does not require use of extra crimps. Bone tunnels are required in many procedures, e.g. tension wire banding, hip toggling and embrocation techniques. The bone tunnel borer is a simple hand instrument which causes minimal soft tissue damage and minimal fuss in setting up compared with orthopaedic drills. Can be used to pre-drill for screws and suture screws.

Speed lock type action gives more ‘feel’ than ratchet type. Jaws designed specifically for crimping system. The literature tells us little about the correct tension. We recommend that the anterior draw is eliminated but that an outward rotation of the tibia is not created.

Mason Hard Leader Line and Crimps

LigaFiba LigaFiba is a new, extremely strong surgical suture material. It is composed entirely of Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene, the same hard wearing material from which we make acetabular cups. Until now it has not been possible to spin it fine enough to produce flexible tieable strands. Weight for weight it is 15 x stronger than steel and 2.5 x stronger than nylon. Importantly it has very good abrasion characteristics which is important when used in hostile environments such as lateral sutures and hip toggles.

Mason ‘Hard Type’ leader line has been the preferred choice of lateral suture material for many surgeons. It is stiffer and thicker than ‘Ande’ line for any given breaking strain. For example Ande 80lb line is 0.9mm in diameter whereas the 80lb Mason line is 1.1mm in diameter.

LigaFiba is available in three breaking strains. 150lb (70kg) 0.6mm in diameter 250lb (113kg) 1.0mm in diameter 500lb (230kg) 1.6mm in diameter

We are pleased to be able to offer Mason line in all the standard line and needle combinations. Crimps are supplied separately.

LigaFiba has a number of applications in veterinary orthopaedics and is available in a range of sterile presentations.

It should be noted that there is no evidence that there is any difference in clinical outcome whether using Ande or Mason line.

LigaFiba IsoToggle Locking Interference Screw

Instruments

The Iso Toggle suture is an extra-capsular suture placed isometrically through bone tunnels. Placement of the tunnels is illustrated on a free CD. The LigaFiba knots very well but there is now an alternative. The locking interference screw offers a secure, low profile alternative to tying over a button. The screw has a tapered, soft profile thread which jams the LigaFiba into the bone tunnel without damaging the suture. The screw may be partially introduced as a temporary measure to assess joint stability and range of movement. Once the surgeon is satisfied, the screw is driven home to lock the suture.

Cannulated Drills For maximum control over the alignment of bone tunnels use of cannulated drills is preferred. A fine guide wire is drilled through where the bone tunnel or screw hole is required. Only when the surgeon is satisfied that the guide wire is correctly positioned is the drill driven along the wire to create the hole. The guide wire can be repositioned if necessary without causing undue trauma to the bone. Available for Jacobs chuck or AO Quickfit.

The strength and flexibility of LigaFiba makes it an ideal material for extracapsular sutures. The Iso Toggle suture is placed via bone tunnels across the stifle at isometric points. The use of isometric points maximises the range of movement of the stifle and protects the suture from repeated stretching and abrasion. The suture is anchored over buttons on the medial side.

Passing soft suture materials such as FiberWire™ or LigaFiba through bone tunnels can be a challenge likened to pushing a piece of string. Historically a pulling device was fashioned from suture wire. The PushPull Suture Passer hooks onto the suture material and may then be either pushed through a bone tunnel or pulled back through one. Diameter is 2.0mm therefore minimum bone tunnel size is 2.0 when pulling and 2.0 plus twice the suture diameter when pushing. PUSHPULL SUTURE PASSER 001050PP 13

Arthrex FiberWire™ Canine Cruciate Lateral Suture

Arthrex is a highly innovative global surgical company specialising in joint surgery and arthroscopy products. Their veterinary division Arthrex Vet Systems is introducing the most appropriate of the human products to the veterinary market. In addition Arthrex Veterinary Systems is working with leading veterinary surgeons, such as Jimi Cook, to develop innovative solutions to veterinary joint surgery problems. Veterinary Instrumentation is very pleased to have been appointed UK distributor for Arthrex joint surgery products.

FiberWire™ Many Arthrex product are based around FiberWire™, a new composite material consisting of a multi-stranded long chain ultra high molecular weight polyethylene core with a polyester braided jacket. Compared to monofilament nylon, FiberWire™ is stronger, and does not stretch. In addition and very importantly FiberWire™ has much better wear characteristics. Most lateral suture loops fail by abrasion, usually at the fabella. Use of FibreWire™ extends the working life of the lateral suture. FiberWire™ is five times more resistant to abrasion than standard polyester suture. FiberWire™ ties very well with a creep free soft knot which again compares very well with nylon. FiberWire is available in various presentations, as free strands, swaged onto needles or attached to suture anchors. FiberTape is as the name suggests a broader, immensley strong version of FiberWire and forms the basis of the TightRope cruciate technique. FIBERWIRE™ AR-7200

Nitinol Suture Passers Nitinol is a highly sprung material used in stents and other intravascular structures. Attached to a needle the loop springs open making threading very easy and when pulled through causes less damage to the soft tissues than regular eyed needles.

Nitinol Looped Needles

A special FiberWire™ lateral suture has been developed by Arthrex in conjunction with James L. Cook, DVM, PhD, at the Comparative Orthopaedic Laboratory, University of Missouri, consisting of a swaged on curved needle for fabella placement and a straight needle at the other end for easy passage through the proximal tibia. The #5 FiberWire™ (7 metric) is for use in dogs 15kg to 50kg. The #2 FiberWire (5 metric) is used for smaller patients. A step by step guide on how to use the new suture can be viewed or downloaded as a pdf by visiting our web site www.vetinst.com. A video of the technique may also be viewed on the web site. Alternatively ask our vet tech team for a free training pack which includes a step by step brochure, video and sample. If your suture tying technique needs revision we can send you a free CD rom on Arthroscopic Suture techniques.

Nitinol Flexible Suture passer Passing soft flexible sutures through bone tunnels can be a challenge. The Arthrex suture passer is 600mm long stiff yet flexible with a nitinol loop at the tip which expands for easy passage of the suture c.f. suture wire loops.

Arthrex Isometric Lateral Suture Anchor System

Arthrex TightRope Technique

The lateral fabella and the proximal tibial crest are not the ideal isometric points to substitute for the cranial cruciate liagament. They are used because they are the nearest convenient points to pass a suture using a needle. Using Arthrex FiberWire™ and Arthrex suture anchors it is possible to place a lateral suture at the most isometric points. As the stifle flexes and extends the distance between the isometric points does not change.

The TightRope CrCL device seeks to optimise the lateral suture stabilization technique by employing a number of benefits such as bone-to-bone fixation, superior construct strength and stiffness, and a method for consistent isometric implant placement. These benefits have allowed the TightRope CCL to counteract cranial tibial thrust, drawer, and internal rotation, while providing optimal joint range of motion. The components of TightRope CCL consist of a stainless steel toggle button, a round suture button and 4 strands of FiberTape. FiberTape is an ultra-high strength tape utilizing a structure similar to FiberWire suture. The weave of the FiberTape allows for smooth, atraumatic passing through tissue and bone, and desirable tying characteristics. Testing has shown FiberTape to have an ultimate load of 225 lbs. and high stiffness characteristics. The TightRope suture passes between two isometric points. One isometric point is found just cranial to and distal to the lateral fabella, very close to the caudal edge of the femoral condyle. The second isometric point is found on the cranial lip of the LDE sulcus. Bone tunnels are created from these two points running medially using a guide wire followed by a cannulated drill. The femoral bone tunnel exits through cortical bone on the medial femur. The tibial bone tunnel exits the medial tibia. The toggle and FiberTape is drawn through the tibia from the medial tunnel entrance, out of the lip of the LDE sulcus, back through the femoral bone tunnel. As the toggle exits the medial femur it is flipped so that it cannot go back down the tunnel and effectively anchors the FiberTape at the femoral cortex. The loose FiberTape strands are drawn through to the medial tibia and tied over the TightRope button. In a comparison of outcomes for the first 24 consecutive patients receiving TightRope CCL were assessed by James (Jimi) L. Cook, DVM, PhD, Diplomate ACVS. TightRope (TR) patients were prospectively compared to a cohort of patients undergoing TPLO (n=23) performed by the same surgeon in the same time period and with the same postoperative instructions. The study endpoint was six months postoperatively. The TightRope CCL technique was determined to be minimally invasive, relatively easy to perform, and cost-effective in comparison to TPLO. The complication rates (12.5% TR vs 17.4% TPLO), including secondary meniscal tears (8.3% TR vs 8.4% TPLO), were similar between techniques. The data suggest that TightRope can be successfully performed in medium, large, and giant breed dogs with CCL deficiency and result in 6-month outcomes which are as good as or better than TPLO in terms of function and radiographic progression of osteoarthritis. We do not recommend TightRope in dogs which may have compromised connective tissue healing. A detailed surgical technique guide and video has been published and is available from the usual contacts. Hands-on labs have been scheduled to teach the TightRope CCL technique, please check vetinst.com for training details.

F1(lateral fabella) is isometric with T3 (posterior wall of LDE sulcus). F2 (posteroventral femoral condyle) is isometric with T2. In large dogs a suture may be placed at both pairs of positions. A step by step guide is available by post or can be downloaded from www.vetinst.com from the documents download page.

Suture Anchor Materials Ideally the material selected should be strong with a high resistance to abrasion. FiberWire™ and braided polyethylene have these qualities but are braided and must, therefore, be used with care. Monofilament materials cause less problems in infected areas (e.g. shearing injuries). Make sure that the material selected fits the anchor you have in mind.

The Push Lock is suitable as an isometric anchor point F2 (see previous page) in the management of cranial cruciate rupture by isometric suture anchors.

Suture Anchor Pin

Straight Graft Passer

Designed to pass through a 2.7mm hole, the straight graft passer is useful for pulling graft and nylon through bone tunnels. STRAIGHT GRAFT PASSER

A threaded suture anchor is machined into the tip of a 3mm trochar pin. Immediately proximal to the suture anchor is a narrow break off point. The construct is stable during axial drilling of the pin into bone. Once in position with the hole of the anchor just above the surface of the bone the shaft of the pin is rocked to and fro. The stainless steel undergoes work hardening and becomes very brittle, ultimately breaking off leaving the anchor in postion ready for placement of sutures up to 1.0mm in diameter. The suture anchor pin is extremely easy to postion and place without pre-drilling.

The repair of the cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) by the ‘Over the Top' technique requires a curved graft passer to pull the graft through the stifle joint. This design of graft passer has been developed over many years to: 1. minimise damage to intra - articular structures 2. feel right in use. The handle is comfortable 3. for graft insertion anterior to posterior or vice versa

Locking Plates

JOINT SURGERY

TPLO Plates with Locking Screw Holes

fine threads lock head into plate large core to resist bending coarser threads than head but still finer than cortical screw for max bone screw interface

Standard DCP or round hole plates are held into position by being trapped between the head of the screw and the bone. Tightening the screw pulls the bone up to the plate. When the screw is tight the threads of the screw pull against the bone holding the plate in position. The situation with locking screws and plates is very different. Although the threads of the screw shaft engage the bone, the interface between bone and screw is not related to attachment of the plate. In locking plates and screws it is the interface between the screw head and the plate which attaches the plate to the screw. As the screw is tightened the bone maintains its position relative to the plate, it is not drawn up to it. The screw head engages with the plate. This has a number of implications: Contouring of plates With standard DCPs the plate must be contoured exactly. When the screws are tightened the bone fragments will be pulled towards the plate and assume the contour of the plate. If the plate is not contoured correctly the screws will pull the fragments out of alignment. Using a locking plate and screws once the plate is applied the bone fragments will be held in position relative to one another as is the case with external fixation. Indeed locking plates are sometimes referred to as ‘internal, external fixation’. Locking plates do not therefore require contouring in the same way as DCP type plates. This has particular relevance in the TPLO procedure where contouring the plate is very important and very time consuming. If a standard locking TPLO plate fits all TPLO osteotomies there are significant savings in terms of time and morbidity.

= DCP hole

= locking hole Screw Angulation and Numbers In order to fit and lock into the plate the screw must be inserted at a fixed angle relative to the hole in the plate. Drill guides are provided which screw into the locking holes to ensure that this happens. It is not always desirable that the screws are at 90 degrees to the plate, particularly close to joints. The angle of the screw is dictated by the plate not the surgeon. The rigid attachment of the screw to the plate gives any locking construct a high degree of angular rigidity relative to a DCP construct where a spherical screw head in an oval hole results in a relative flexibility. This means in any given situation that to achieve the same rigidity as a DCP construct a locking construct needs less screws. Again this has particular implications in terms of time and morbidity. It also offsets, to a degree, the higher costs of locking screws and plates.

All holes accept regular 3.5 cortical screws

Use of locking screws offers an internal/external fixation construct across the osteotomy site. The plate is attached to the screw and the screw is attached to the bone. Rigidity does not depend on the plate being trapped between screw head and bone as in non-locking plates. Our new plate is osteotomy centered and maximises the interface around the osteotomy circumference. A novel angled DCP hole distally allows for additional compression of the cranial osteotomy if necessary.

Screw Diameter and Strength The increased angular rigidity places greater stresses onto the screw. Because we are not relying on the threads of the screw in the bone to pull the plate to the bone they do not need to be as coarse as standard cortical screws. They need, only, to hold their position in the bone. Thus for the same outside diameter of screw we can increase the core diameter without increasing the likelyhood of bone/screw interface failure. Increasing the diameter of the core hugely affects the AMI (resistance to bending) of the screw. The AMI of standard 3.5 cortical screws as used in SOP™ is 1.6, the AMI of standard locking screw is 2.6. A SOP™ screw is far more likely to fail than is a standard locking screw. Screw failure is the typical mode of failure of SOP™ constructs. Standard cortical screws are not designed for use as locking screws.

Plates are supplied pre-contoured to minimise the risk of screw hole distortion and stress riser marks. A dedicated drill guide is, however, necessary to place the pilot hole exactly at the correct angle to the plate. Holes accept both standard cortical screws and locking screws. TPLO PLATES WITH LOCKING SCREW TECHNOLOGY

Minimally Invasive Plate Osteosynthesis (MIPO) MIPO aims to interfere with the patient’s natural respone to fracture as little as possible while establishing and maintaining stabilisation of the fracture. Locking plates do not need close contouring to the bone, indeed it is not necessary to have contact between the plate and the bone. The periosteum is therefore preserved and the fracture is not disturbed. Additionally the angular stability of locking screws coupled with the need for fewer screws are desirable features in any MIPO procedure. Locking screws were developed for osteoporitic bone where standard DCPs and screws tend to strip out. The bone screw interface is under far less stress using locking technology. This is an important quality in juvenile bone also. Veterinary MIPO candidates tend to be young.

Locking Plates and Screws Locking mechanism

The Fixin range includes two series of internal fixators. The mini system is designed for patients up to 10kg and uses screws of 1.9 and 2.5mm in diameter. Both screws lock into the silver bushing insert which links the screw head to the support (plate).

Fixin offers the benefits of locking plate system as described on page 129 . In addition the Fixin system subscribes to a more flexible system of fixation utilising relatively thin flexible plates together with relatively few points of fixation.

The medium system uses screws of 3.0 and 3.5mm diameter for dogs up to 60kg+. Both screws lock into the blue bushing insert which links the screw head to the support (plate). The plates (supports) are made from 316LVM stainless steel. The screws and the bushings are made from Titanium.

Instrumentation Each system requires a small number of dedicated instruments. The Instrumentation sets start at £350.00. A dedicated drill guide is required to ensure that the pilot hole is drilled in exactly the right place and at the correct angle relative to the plate. Instrumentation is required to insert and remove the bushing inserts.

The system relies on a novel lock between screw and plate. Rather than using threads to link the screw to the plate, the FIXIN system used the well established ‘morse taper’ effect. A tapering cylinder when pushed into an opening having slightly less taper effectively jams very securely. Engineers have used this effect for decades to attach tools to cutting machines. The same principle locks the heads of modular total hip replacement systems onto the femoral shaft. In addition to providing a very secure lock the morse offers an 360 degree pick up for the locking mechanism. Standard locking screws having a twin start thread may have to wait for 180 degrees of rotation before the threads engage in the plate. More primitive systems with a single start thread may not engage for 360 degrees. The Fixin system will lock regardless of the position of the screw relative to the plate. Usually, placing a screw hole in a plate creates a stress riser which may lead to early failure. The novel screw boss feature of FIXIN plates minimises the stress riser effects which means that relatively thin, lightweight stainless steel plates may be used throughout the system. As is the case with other locking systems accurate contouring is not required which saves both time, morbidity and ultimately money. The Fixin system takes this feature a stage further by offering a large range of pre-contoured plates for special veterinary applications such as TPLO and pancarpal arthrodesis. In most circumstances the plate is applied and fixed with no futher contouring. In cases where plates are required to be ‘handed’, the bushing (screw hubs) may be reversed in the plate to create a plate for the opposite side. Should the screw require removal the bushing and screw combination is unscrewed from the support (plate).

Catalogue For those interested in further information on the Fixin system we are happy to supply a separate brochure which details all the available products together with actual size profiles of all the Fixin plates.

Special Fixin plate applications include: TPLO and TTA Osteotomies TPO and DPO procedures Pantarsal Arthrodesis Partial Carpal Arthrodesis Pancarpal Arthrodesis Partial Tarsal Arthrodesis

Developed in Italy for human use, the FIXIN system is now available to Veterinary Surgeons and is proving very popular in both the USA and Europe. Following extensive veterinary clinical applications Veterinary Instrumentation is pleased to add the FIXIN system to our range.

and Minimally Invasive Plate Osteosynthesis (MIPO)

and TPLO Conventionally at least three screws are placed on either side of the osteotomy (or fracture). FIXIN’s locking technology has sufficient screw security that only two are necessary. In a locking plate screw construct the function of the screw thread is only to maintain position in the bone, it is not additionally stressed by having to trap the plate between screw head and bone. Furthermore the AMI (resistance to bending) of the FIXIN screw is greater than the standard cortical screw. Over 1,000 cases of TPLO have been performed with the FIXIN four hole plate.

The lightweight Stainless Steel FIXIN plate has a low profile. All these features are useful in the MIPO approach to fracture management. The FIXIN locking technology means that there is no need for contact betweeen the plate and bone. Contouring is not necessary saving time and morbidity. The periosteum and fracture site is disturbed as little as possible. The requirement for less screws than might seem appropriate is a further useful feature.

Triple Tibial Osteotomy A cruciate management technique combining tibial plateau levelling and tibial tubercle advancement. Based on the work of Slocum, Tepic and Montavon, the Triple Tibial Osteotomy has been developed by Dr Warrick Bruce to overcome some of the problems encountered in the Slocum TPLO technique, the Montavon TTA (Tibial Tubercle Advancement) and the closing wedge TPLO technique.

Case Warrick Bruce Osteometer and Saw guide

90˚

Some of the problems include: Work by Tepic suggests that the tibial plateau should be perpendicular to the patella ligament to minimise shear strain at the CrCL. The Slocum technique does not always address this issue.

Three Osteotomies

TPLO + TTA

Triple Tibial Osteotomy

The bi-radial Slocum blade is inefficient and difficult to resharpen resulting in the generation of significant amounts of heat which leads to delayed healing and other complications.

Some instrumentation is required to make the procedure easier and to minimise errors. Warrck Bruce’s original instrument set comprises a saw guide, measuring/marking gauge (osteometer) and a bone manipulation device (wedgie). The saw guide works with flat oscillating blades with a maximum cut thickness of 1mm (thickness at the teeth). See Chapter 5.

The Montavon TTA technique creates a large defect in the cranial tibia which requires an expensive titanium cage and plate to prevent collapse during the healing phase.

The original set is very reasonably priced and offers the surgeon a very cost effective route to management of CrCL rupture by tibial plateau levelling surgery. Warricks new, more sophisticated designs are shown opposite.

The closing wedge TPLO shortens the tibia and creates a defect in the tibia which has to be protected from the pull of the straight patella ligament by a figure of eight wire. The TTO technique deals with all of these problems: A long osteotomy is made in the tibial crest to allow the tibial tubercle to move forward. The angle correction is made by making a small wedge osteotomy in the caudal tibia which, when closed creates a small tibial tubercle advancement. A free instructional DVD is available which fully describes and explains the procedure through video, stills and text files. The DVD also includes an instrument check list.

Multi Saw One of the advantages of the TTO (and TWO) procedure is that it uses simple flat blades which are easily replaced when they become blunt. The TTO uses a saw guide to direct the saw very accurately ensuring a ‘good fit’ once the osteotomy is complete. Surgical air or battery driven saws are ideal for the procedure but the MultiSaw with a sterile shroud and convertor works very well. Make sure that the blade selected fits through the saw guide (cut thickness less than 1.0mm) See chapter 5 for more details on saws and blades

Case Warrick Bruce

Warrick Bruce has designed two new instruments to make the TTO procedure easier and to eliminate some of the practical difficulties encountered using the original instrumenation. The new combined osteometer and saw guide interlock to become a single instrument which is much easier to manage than the original two separate instruments. The thumbscrew locks the osteometer onto the saw guide for secure accurate osteotomies. The osteometer still has holes for fixation to the tibia using 1.6 arthrodesis wires. Alternatively Warrick’s second new instrument ‘the Clasper’ may be used to lock the osteometer onto the tibia prior to cutting. The ‘Clasper’ has an additional role in that it is used to replace the kern bone holders in the original technique. The ‘Clasper’ grasps the tibia crest prior to closure and incorporates location holes for the very large fragment forceps to lock into. The ‘wedgie’, used for manipulating the three osteotomies remains unchanged.

Pre-Contoured Slocum Style TPLO plates

Tibial Plateau Levelling by Radial Osteotomy Slocum Slocum Style Plates

TPLOS35L slocum style

TPLO plates manufactured from implant specification stainless steel (ASTM F 138, ISO 5832-1) are extremely difficult to contour appropriately without leaving stress riser marks in vulnerable places. Our pre-contoured plates are pre-bent and polished to leave no stress riser. A final intraoperative ‘tweak’ may be necessary in individual cases. TPLOS27R slocum style

PRE-CONTOURED TPLO PLATES

The cast Slocum plate meets neither the current metallurgical specification nor the manufacturing process requirements for stainless steel implants. While we are allowed to use our judgement regarding implants it would be relatively hard to defend the use of a non-standard implant should anything go wrong.

In view of the above we have produced a Slocum style plate, machined from 316LVM. The only clear advantage of the cast Slocum plate was its malleability. Our plate has been modified in the head region to make contouring easier, while retaining the stiffness of 316LVM elsewhere for stability and rapid healing. The lower profile makes closure easier.

Cadmus Plates and Templates

Tibial Plateau Levelling Operation by Wedge Osteotomy The tibial plateau levelling osteotomy (TPLO) alters the anatomy of the stifle to moderate the effect of the loss of the cranial cruciate ligament (CCL). The stifle remains unstable to manipulation but is stable as the dog bears weight. It is claimed that following TPLO, degenerative joint disease changes are minimal compared with other CCL procedures. The closing wedge procedure was the technique which Slocum used to prove the science behind TPLO. Particularly useful in large dogs and dogs with tibial plateau deformation. See page 287 for TPLO plate profiles. Our free DVD illustrates and describes the technique. A simple acetate overlay to help you calculate the tibial plateau angle, from which you can easily calculate the size of the wedge to remove. Includes lines to indicate the normal tibial plateau angle and a 5˚ line which is regarded as the most appropriate post-op angle. Also included on the acetate are actual size outlines of our range of TPLO plates to help you select the most appropriate plate. See page 287 for actual size profiles.

Calvin Cadmus from Oakland California, as an early Slocum user, recognised that when the TPLO osteotomy was centred along the long axis of the tibia several advantages were seen over non-centred osteotomies. 1) Increased accuracy in achieving the desired post-op tibial plateau angle. 2) Significantly fewer tibial tubercle fractures. Decrease in screw pull out. 3) Elimination of undesirable angular deformities (genu valgum). 4) Lower long term DJD. Calvin has designed a template to ensure that your osteotomy is centred on the long axis, and a range of plates which stabilise the osteotomy along the long axis of the tibia. Ref. ‘Geometrical analysis evaluating the effect of TPLO position on post-operative tibial plateau slope’ VCOT Jan 2004. M.P. Kowaleski. et al.

Cadmus Plates Cadmus plates are surgeon friendly fitting the contour of the osteotomy and eliminating intra-articular screw placement. Pre-contoured to save time. Compression is created along the arc of the osteotomy. Hole designed improves screw security. CADMUS TPLO TPLOCAD18L

Accurate placement of the screws in the head is facilitated by use of a dedicated load and neutral guide which places the pilot hole away from the osteotomy. As the screw is tightened into the hole there is a compressing movement of the screw and bone. The spherical head of the screw then locks into the round hole giving secure full circumferential contact unlike a standard DCP hole. It is easy to create a single compressing movement around the arc of the osteotomy using round holes with the added bonus of extra screw security.

With both borders the same length the resulting closure is better, both functionally and cosmetically.

Tibial Tuberosity Advancement (TTA)

TTA Starter Kit

The TTA procedure developed by Tepic and Montavon is designed to bring the tibial plateau to sit at 90˚ to the straight patella ligament. This effectively neutralises the shear forces within the stifle, under loading, making the stifle stable. This is achieved by advancing the tibial tubercle and stabilising the created defect using a titanium cage and plate. The cage is selected for both thickness and width. The implants are secured using titanium screws. Titantium is very osteoconductive resulting in rapid healing. The use of stainless steel implants is not recommended.

TTA Procedure The Starter Kit represents a cost effective solution to setting up for TTA.

The TTA procedure is best learnt on a recognised training course. However, where this is not possible careful study of our step by step guide to TTA and the video presentation will prepare the surgeon for a surgery on plastic bones followed by cadaver surgery before finally progressing to a clinical case.

The Starter Kit contains the following: TTA Instrument set TTA Drill guide (4 Hole) TTA Drill Guide (8 hole) TTA Fork Holder TTA Spreader + inserts TTA Plate Bender TTA 2.4 Cross Head Screwdriver TTA Plate and fork overlay TTA Mallet 2.5 Hex Screwdriver and sleeve 1.8mm, 2.0mm, 2.5mm Drills hard

The free DVD includes both video footage, a step by step guide and some frequently asked questions on the TTA procedure. The free Step by Step guide is a photographic sequence of a TTA case beginning with assessment of the radiographs and following the procedure in 28 steps.

Titanium Screws

ReproBone Bone Substitutes

Titanium Screws and plates are very commonly used in man particularly for facio maxillary repairs. The most important benefit in this application is that Titanium does not interfere with MRI scans. Compared to stainless steel Titanium is lighter and much more osteo compatible.

The addition of osteoconductive bioceramic hydroxyapatite to an orthopaedic site can significantly decrease healing times. NanoPaste is available as two presentations. NanoPaste. The sterile presentation is an aqueous paste supplied in a syringe (2.5ml or 5.0ml). The paste may be injected directly into a defect where it conforms to fill the space. The paste is readily colonised by bone cells and acts as a scaffold encouraging penetration of host bone. The putty-like consistency means that the paste may be pressed onto bone where it sticks until resorbed. NanoPaste is very similar to Ostim™ which has an established clinical record. Applications include: joint arthrodesis, TTA, non unions, delayed unions and filling spine cages.

The major application in veterinary orthopaedics is in conjunction with the TTA cruciate procedure. TITANIUM SCREWS 2.4MM CRUCIATE HEAD 1.8MM PILOT TICS2410

Visualisation of the medial meniscus is maximised by retraction of the fat pad. Previously this has been achieved by use of a Senn ("cats paw") retractor. The fat pad retractor has the same clawed foot but has a much more practical means of holding the instrument. FAT PAD RETRACTOR

Examination and management of meniscal injuries is made extremely difficult by the limited access to the medial meniscus during routine approaches. Exposure of the medial meniscus is typically achieved by either use of a stifle distractor or by a Hohman retractor. Hohman retractors are not designed for levering against articular cartilage in that the blade does not ‘fit’ the trochlea. The stifle lever is designed to substitute for the Hohman.

The caudal surface of the stifle lever is contoured to fit the trochlea of large dogs. The load is dissipated over a large area minimising trauma. The ring style handle is convenient for retraction by the surgeon using the thumb. The tip atraumatically hooks behind the caudal aspect of the tibial plateau. MENISCUS KNIVES

Management of meniscal injuries has three phases all of which will require special instrumentation. • Exposure of the meniscus, particularly the caudal horn of the medial meniscus.

The 64 blade (best for meniscal release) cuts around the tip as well as the ventral surface. The 65 blade (best for trimming flaps) is essentially a scaled down No. 11 blade. The 65A blade is even smaller. Very useful in restricted areas minimising risk to articular cartilage.

• Examination of the meniscus for lesions. A visual examination is not enough. • Lesions discovered must be managed by debridement or meniscal release.

Visualisation of the caudal horns of the meniscus can be a challenge. Often the process of exposing the caudal horn can result in distortions. A normal meniscus can look damaged and occasionally a bucket handle tear can sit back and look normal. It is helpful to gently probe the meniscus to establish its true condition. Dimensions refer to length of tip. Use 1mm in dogs < 30k and for dogs >30kg use 2mm.

Stifle Distractors

001112

Damage to the medial meniscus is commonly associated with rupture of the Cranial Cruciate Ligament (C.C.L.). It is most frequently found in larger dogs with a longstanding injury. Failure to deal with meniscal damage is a serious omission in C.C.L. repair. Exposure of the medial meniscus for examination and repair is extremely difficult. For further information see our web site or request our free DVD ‘Surgical Management of Canine Cranial Cruciate Disease’.

001113VS

001112

The stifle distractor is designed to separate the femoral component of the stifle from the tibia. Ideally the two joint surfaces should move away from each other in a parallel fashion so that the meniscus is exposed in its natural state and minimally distorted by the examination. One tip is placed in the intercondylar notch and the other on the cranial intercondylar area. Neither tip should involve articular cartilage. Test distractions (by squeezing the handles) will allow the surgeon to find the exact point at which a full distraction will expose the medial (usually) meniscus. The spin lock is then engaged to powerfully open up the stifle joint. The distractor is self-retaining leaving the surgeon with two free hands to examine the meniscus and deal with any pathology.

Osteoarthritic stifles can be very ‘tight’ making examination and treatment of meniscal lesions difficult. Distraction of the articular surfaces using intra-articular instruments clutters the operative field. Originally developed for arthroscopic use the extra articular distractor works very well in open surgery. Pins are placed above and below the stifle approximately along the line of the medial collateral ligament. The standard distractor uses 2.5mm pins. For those TPLO surgeons who wish to use the proximal tibial pin as their proximal jig pin a version is available which takes 3.2mm (1/8”) pins. Turning the thumb screw distracts the joint from the medial side exposing the medial meniscus. For better view of the caudal horn the pins may be twisted relative to one another which brings the tibial plateau forward.

Hohman Retractor 20mm wide with short kinked tip This Hohman is designed for femoral neck retraction for THR after the femoral head has been removed, in order to visualise the acetabulum for acetabular reaming. The idea is that the bent tip of the hohman is engaged caudoventral to the acetabulum with the osteotomised surface of the femoral neck behind it and then the hohman is retracted to pull the femoral neck out of the way for the reamer. This is much easier than having to get a rake retractor or Meyerding on the trochanter to physically pull the femur out of the way which is knackering. The hohman does all the work for you- makes things MUCH easier for reaming!

JOINT SURGERY

Hip Toggle Procedure The hip toggle procedure is a well established technique for the management of traumatic and unstable subluxation of the the coxofemoral joint. Although somewaht invasive it does have the advantage that by replacing the round ligament the hip has, postoperatively, a full range of movement. However, the suture is placed into a very hostile abrasive environment and historically had a high failure rate. Newer materials have, to a degree, addressed this problem. LigaFiba is spun Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene. This is the same high wear material used for acetabular cups in Total Hip Replacemt. For any given weight (or diameter) LigaFiba is 2.5 x stronger than the traditional monofilament nylon. In addition the softer more flexible nature of the material allows a relatively larger implant to be passed along bone tunnels. LigaFiba has in addition better wear characteristics than nylon. Veterinary Instrumentation is pleased to offer an updated range of hip toggles based on LigaFiba. The range includes the new 2.0mm toggle for small dogs and cats. Use of a dedicated introducer facilitates the introduction of the toggle through the acetabulum into the pelvis.

Hip Toggle Introducer

The Hip Toggle is 3.0mm in diameter with an ‘eye’ to hold the suture. made from stainless steel 316LVM. Use the adjustable drill guide to accurately place the hole in the femoral neck, (see chapter 7). All sterile packs contain a nylon Ormrod button for secure fixation of the suture. Available with monofilament nylon or braided LigaFiba. LigaFiba is easier to work with, is stronger and ties better. However, it is a braided material with higher infection risks.

Notes on the use the the Hip Toggle system

LigaFiba Hip Toggles

1. Expose femoral head and floor of acetabulum via a cranio-lateral approach. Perform a trochanteric osteotomy if necessary. The text ‘An Atlas of Surgical Approaches to the Bones and Joints of the Dog and Cat’ by Piermattei is an almost essental part of any veterinary surgeons library. code BK02 see page 261. 2. Clear soft tissues (mostly shredded round ligament) from acetabulum and fovea of femoral head. 3. Drill a hole through the acetabular fossa (effectively the origin of the round ligament). Drill size required 3mm Toggle plus 250lb LigaFiba 4.5mm 3mm Toggle plus 80lb Nylon 4.8mm 2mm Toggle plus 150lb LigaFiba 2.7mm 4. Load the toggle into the insertion tool. The ‘long’ end goes into the inserter tip. The suture is retained onto the inserter shaft by sliding the silicone ring over the toggle and inserter. 5. Push projecting toggle into hole in acetabulum. Braided polyethylene is 2.5 x stronger than monofilament nylon and has the additional benefit of a high resistance to abrasion. These properties are ideal for a hip toggle suture. Additionally the braided material conforms better and will therefore pass through a smaller hole. The new 2mm toggle and 150lb (68kg) will pass through a 2.5mm bone tunnel.

6. Insert plunger and eject toggle into pelvic canal. Toggle should ‘flip’ out preventing pull out. Check toggle security. 7. Drill a bone tunnel (2.5-3.5mm) from fovea exiting from proximal lateral femur. a. Use Adjustable drill guide for best results. b. ‘eyeball’ it c. drill from fovea to femur (requires severe external rotation of femur)

HIP TOGGLE

8. Pass free suture ends down the femoral neck tunnel from fovea to femur. LigaFiba will require a suture puller or alternatively a folded loop of fine cerclage wire may be passed from lateral to medial to exit at the fovea. Pass the LigaFiba through the loop and pull back. Check there are no soft tissues (usually joint capsule) interposed between head and acetabulum.

9. Pass ends of the suture through holes in Ormrod button pull tight and tie temporarily. Check that coxo-femoral joint has a full range of movement. Tie securely over button. Over-tightening is a technical error and will result in premature failure of the suture.

HIPINT

Hip Toggle Introducer + hip toggle with 80lb nylon + Ormrod Button (sterile pack)

NOTE: The implant always breaks within a few weeks of placement regardless of technique and material. The toggle provided temporary stability only. If it becomes necessary to remove the suture, locate the Ormrod button and remove both button and suture.

ARTHROSCOPY & LAPAROSCOPY

Introduction Using fibre optics the arthroscope is able to deliver light and obtain an image from within the joint thus obviating the need for an extensive surgical approach and keeping surgical trauma to soft tissues at a minimum. However, arthroscopy is not a risk free procedure as it involves placing sharp metal objects into the joint space.

Although arthroscopy may be considered expensive in terms of both the dedicated instrumentation required and the time and money involved in training, it is recommended that sufficient resources are allocated to purchase good quality equipment at the outset. (Equipment failures being very frustrating and ultimately very expensive.)

Arthroscopes An arthroscope is a rigid endoscope consisting of a system of lenses, which collects and transmits an image from the tip of the instrument along the shaft to an eyepiece or camera. A light post close to the eyepiece allows light to be passed into the shaft and down optic fibres surrounding the lens system to illuminate the subject area at the tip. The diameter refers to the outside diameter of the unsheathed shaft of the telescope. Three sizes are commonly used in small animal arthoscopy: 2.7mm, 2.4mm and 1.9mm. Arthroscope technology has improved so much that optically the new 2.4mm arthroscope is as good as the older 2.7mm version. For this reason we now only offer 2.4mm and 1.9mm arthroscopes. Patient size and the joint to be investigated will dictate selection of the arthroscope. The 2.4mm arthroscope is fine for most procedures but can prove a little large in small elbows. As the diameter of the arthroscope becomes smaller, there is less space for optical fibres, which has implications for light transmission and image size. Recent improvements in construction such as the use of rod lens systems as opposed to optic fibres has improved the performance of the smaller arthroscopes. Additionally the smaller arthroscopes are fragile and care must therefore be exercised to avoid damage in use, cleaning and storage.

Standard Arthroscope, 2.4mm with Arthroscopic Sheath

For elbow, shoulder and knee joint. The viewing angle is the angle between the lens face and a line drawn at right angles to the long axis of the arthroscope (see above right). A 0˚ scope views straight ahead from the front of the lens, while a 90˚ scope sees an image at right angles to the long axis of the scope. Most veterinary arthroscopes have a viewing angle of 30˚, which is a compromise between field of view and distortion. The user needs to be aware which way the lens is pointing. The light post is used as a reference point and is positioned opposite the angle of view. Rotating the scope along its long axis will allow the surgeon to view a large area within the joint with minimal repositioning. An oblique viewing angle does offer the surgeon a limited ability to see ‘around corners’.

Needle Arthroscope, 1.9mm with Arthroscopic Sheath

Each arthroscope will require a dedicated sheath, which protects the arthroscope as well as delivering fluid to the tip. Sheaths offering a high rate of flow are preferable. The sheath reduces the effective working length of the 1.9mm scope to approx 8.0cm. Conversely, the sheath will increase the working diameter of the arthroscope. 1.9mm becomes 2.8mm.

For small dogs and small joints.

All scopes are now available in autoclaveable versions. Autoclaving, especially for fine scopes, will significantly reduce the working life of the instrument. Autoclavable scopes can be soaked & we recommend this method of sterilisation to preserve your scope. If your scope is not marked autoclavable, it can only be soaked.

Arthroscopic Instrumentation Irrigation and Working Cannulae, Trochar Changing System designed by VAN BREE Cannulae and portals: In order to fully examine the joint under investigation it may be necessary to manipulate some intra articular structures. The instruments used must be small and be introduced either directly through the peri-articular soft tissues or via a dedicated cannula. Where serial insertions and withdrawals or a range of instruments are required, particularly through multiple layers of soft tissue, a cannula is preferable to minimize trauma, (trying to re-find a portal can be frustrating). Sets of cannulae dedicated to the most common joints are now available. Initially a small diameter cannula is inserted using a trochar, the portal may then be enlarged by the use of a ‘switching stick’. The stick is inserted into the joint through the small cannula which is then withdrawn. Larger cannulae may be slid down the changing stick and introduced into the joint. Exchanging a small cannula for a larger one can be surprisingly difficult without such an aid. The system is colour coded for ease of use.

Shoulder Aiming Device

Light Sources & Cables

Developed and tested at the Veterinary Faculty of Vienna, Austria by Dr Lehman.

Halogen light sources are inexpensive but not as good as the xenon based systems, which are, unfortunately, significantly more expensive to purchase and maintain. Xenon light sources have a higher intensity and are essential if the unit is to be used for laparoscopic work. Thus xenon is preferable but halogen can be used successfully in most joint investigations. Both xenon and halogen bulbs have a limited life (xenon typically 500 hours, halogen typically 2000 hours) and bulb failure is at best embarrassing so always carry a spare. The light cable carries light from the source to the arthroscope by fibre optics. Each cable has dedicated connectors to couple with the light source and the arthroscope. Connections on both light source and arthroscope vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. Converters are available for both light source and arthroscope but it is wise, if possible, to purchase the appropriate cable for the system.

Due to the dense muscle mass in shoulder joints, creating a puncture for a working cannula is often quite difficult. If a clean puncture allowing access directly to the joint is not achieved the first time, the risk of a subsynovial oedema increases greatly. The shoulder puncture system has been specifically designed to help eliminate this risk. The system allows you to align your arthroscope accurately in the joint space. Simply attach the puncture system to the arthroscopic sheaths and maintain your arthroscopic vision in a parallel direction to the shoulder joint rim. At this point you will find the working triangulation portal in an ideal position. After a puncture is created with the desired trochar, simply replace the trochar with a working cannula and start working with your instruments. Useful for both cranial and caudal approaches.

Monitor

Cameras & Monitors Direct viewing of the joint through the eyepiece is possible. However, practicality and the issue of contamination dictate that a camera system is an essential part of the equipment. Arthroscopic cameras work in a very similar fashion to video cameras in common usage. The image at the eyepiece of the arthroscope is focussed on a light responsive electronic chip(s). The signal created is transferred to a camera controller, which processes the image into a signal recognized by the monitor and/or recording system. Most veterinary cameras have a single chip, which is sufficient for most users.

Flat Screeen Professional Monitor

The connection of the camera head to the eyepiece of the arthroscope is also variable. To maximise the choice and longevity of the instrumentation it is advised that a clip on camera head compatible with DIN standard eyepieces be selected. The camera heads are fully immersible.

Pre-owned cathode ray tube type monitor

Professional monitors offer a better image than domestic screens as they have a better resolution. Some pre-owned units are always available. Ring for details.

Image Capture Good practice dictates that a record is made of any arthroscopic procedure. Subsequent investigations can be compared to earlier ones and images can be shared and compared with colleagues or tutors as part of a training programme. Domestic video recorders will create a permanent record of a procedure. However the data is relatively crude and difficult to manipulate . Still video printers capture an image from a video stream which can then be printed onto photographic paper.

Arthrex Eagle Eye Cameras and Light Sources

Digital video and data storage technology now allows the surgeon to record and store very large amounts of data in a digital format. The digital information can subsequently be manipulated by appropriate computer software to create both still and moving images in a variety of formats for storage or display. If clinical presentations are anticipated then a digital system is very desirable. Domestic DVD or combined DVD/Hard drive recorders offer huge storage capacities at reasonable prices. The data is stored as Digital Video (DV) which can be converted into many other formats. The major arthroscopy companies offer sophisticated data storage systems which are able to capture and store still and movie files via sterile touch screens or camera finger controls. Permanent records are maintained on DVD discs or computer hard drives.

Top quality equipment from a major human arthroscopic company but at a discount price. It is important to obtain the best possible image. Arthroscopy is difficult enough without working with poor quality images. Buy the best ‘scope’ and camera you can afford. The Eagle Eye camera is human quality as is the matching light source.

ARTHROSCOPY & LAPAROSCOPY

Hand Pressure Infusion Cuffs

Fluid Infusion and Outflow Infusion of fluids or gas into the joint is essential to create an environment in which the arthroscope can view joint structures. The joint must be expanded and debris removed to maintain a clear field of view. To maintain an appropriate intra-articular pressure (between 40 and 100mm of mercury) (0.053 and 0.133 BAR) fluid inflow and outflow must be carefully regulated. Fluid under pressure may be obtained by either gravity feed systems or a pump. Gravity may be sufficient provided the fluid bags can be lifted high enough but greater, more controllable pressure may be obtained by use of a fluid compression bag. The bag of fluid to be infused is placed into a pressure bag, which is inflated using a hand or machine pump. Without careful monitoring hand inflation systems offer erratic pressure levels and use of a regulated pump offers much better control. A carbon dioxide powered pump may be used to pressurize a compression bag or infuse carbon dioxide directly into the joint. Dedicated roller type pumps are able to maintain a constant line pressure over extended periods but they may require dedicated tubing, are expensive to purchase and are more prone to breakdown. To create fluid flow through the joint, appropriate fluid outflow or egress must be maintained. In the smaller joints (elbow, hock and hip), a large bore hypodermic needle may be sufficient. In the larger joints (shoulder, stifle) where greater volumes of fluid are involved, dedicated multi fenestrated egress cannulae may be necessary, the waste fluid may be collected by either bag systems or suction devices. Use of direct CO2 infusion is indicated in some inflamed joints where inflammatory synovial villae obstruct the visual field, the villae being flattened under gas pressure rather than floating free in infused fluid. In addition, use of CO2 increases the field of view and image clarity of the arthroscope. CO2 is usually used intermittently with fluid to allow for flushing.

This pump has been in use in the human sector for some 15 years and is very reliable. Line pressure and flow rate are user defined. This means that the fluid pressure does not have to be continually monitored and adjusted by nursing staff. In addition, if the tube pressure is correct, any problems with fluid flow can be immediately localised to the arthroscope. This is not the case with inflated cuffs where only the pressure within the bag is known.

ARTHROSCOPY & LAPAROSCOPY

Shaver Systems

Electrocautery Arthroscopic electrocautery or radiofrequency devices focally create heat within the tissues to create haemostasis, debridement or to shrink the joint capsule in selected cases of instability. Long, fine insulated probes are available which may be powered by standard surgical electrocautery units. The tips are bathed in fluid at all times but essentially the same processes occur at the tissue level as in surgical electrosurgery.

Virtually the only powered instrument in use in Veterinary arthroscopy is the shaver. The shaver is essentially a motorized bur. It may be used to debride cartilage, bone or soft tissues. A range of tips of different designs and sizes are available to manage the different tissues. Tips designed for soft tissues are typically larger and more aggressively toothed. Suction may be applied to the cutting tip via the hand piece to remove debris. The hand piece is driven by a control box operated by finger or foot controls. The speed and direction of cut are selectable. The tips are usually designed to be disposable, however with careful use, cleaning and re-sterilisation they may be re-used. Very expensive to buy new, Veterinary Instrumentation maintains a stock of high quality ex-hospital units for sale.

Radiofrequency devices create heat by inter-molecular friction. Tips are available in both monopolar and bipolar formats and may be used to debride structures such as damaged meniscus or fat pad. Capsular shrinkage by radiofrequency may be used to tighten joint capsules following arthroscopy or injury. Radiofrequency ablation dissolves intra-articular tissues at a relatively low temperature. The resulting debris is removed by suction. The technique is therefore an alternative to the shaver for removing soft tissues. At least one manufacturer supplies combined shaver blades and ablator wands which offer both options on the same intra-articular device.

Phone for details.

Linvatec Shaver

Arthroscopic Procedure Electrosurgical System (OPES)

The Linvatec Shaver System is very interesting from a veterinary arthroscopy point of view as it is able to use 2.0mm micro burs. Other major brands have a minumum blade diameter of 2.8mm which may not seem a very big difference but is almost half as big again.

The Universal Drive Console is a Microprocessor-controlled power unit that drives and controls current Linvatec handpieces. C9820, C9824, C9828, & Micro C9840. The latter is the most useful but most difficult to find. A wide range of current blades are available. CONSOLE FUNCTIONS INCLUDE: Audio response feedback. The unit tells you which direction the bur is moving. Normal (on-off) and variable (accelerator) footswitch speed controls. Footswitch sensitivity controls. Handpiece aspirate mode. Handpiece reverse/forward/oscillate cutting modes. Speed and direction of rotation are displayed. HANDPIECES Balance, sealed and lightweight. Sealed motor assembly. Up to 6000rpm in forward or reverse. Up to 1500rpm in oscillate Suction control valve. Cutting modes are controlled by footswitch or from the drive console. Supplied as kit including console, footcontrol (exact model may vary) and micro C9840 handpiece which take the micro series of blades going down to 2mm with 6 month warranty

Ablation wands

A comprehensive orthopaedic electrosurgical system combining arthroscopic ablation, arthroscopic coagulation, open surgery monopolar and bipolar surgery from one fully digital generator. With 3 in 1 system flexibility, the OPES Electrical Generator is also capable of controlling a host of different instruments, including disposable monopolar arthroscopic electrodes, reusable and disposable monopolar open procedure pencils and tips, and reuseable bipolar forceps. The need for separate and costly systems is eliminated. Provided the surgeon is prepared to agree to an annual purchase commitment Arthrex is prepared to offer its OPES Console (AR-9600) (Value £5,500) on FREE loan.

ARTHROSCOPY & LAPAROSCOPY

Vac Pac Vacuum positioning device.

Positioning Aids Manipulation of arthroscopes and instrumentation inside a joint via an image on a monitor screen can be very demanding. Careful positioning of the patient and the surgeon is essential. An operating table, fully adjustable for height and tilt is a prerequisite for good arthroscopy. Once fully draped, orientation around a canine limb can be difficult. Full use should be made of channels, ties and sand bags to fix the overall position of the dog. Sandbags may also be necessary to act as a fulcrum to open a joint maximally for investigation, e.g. elbow. To provide multiple fixed positioning during an investigation a multi arm positioning device is available which when attached between the distal limb and the table may be locked into an infinite range of positions. An optional accessory allows the stifle to be accurately positioned for an investigation.

Thanks to Pat Ridge for the photographs

Fluid Management

Sterility

Incise drape with fluid collection pouch. Sterile

Arthroscopes Distilled water and an enzymatic cleaner are used to remove gross contamination from arthroscopes, sheaths and trochars. Arthroscopes are available which can be autoclaved. However, repeated autoclaving of even these arthroscopes will significantly reduce their working life. Sterility is more commonly achieved by soaking in an anti-microbial solution. Historically glutaraldehyde based solutions were the norm but health and safety concerns have led to the use of safer chemicals based on oxidation.

Arthroscopy is messy. Collection of fluid run off will minimise what falls to the floor. This opapaque plastic film drape has a 100mm x 100mm incise area and a 200mm x 300mm fluid collection pouch. Free sample on request.

Camera systems Most cameras used for veterinary arthroscopy cannot be autoclaved but the head and cable can usually be soaked in the same solution as the arthroscope. Care should be exercised to avoid contact of the sterilizing fluid with the electrical contacts at the end of the cable. An alternative is the use of a sterile disposable camera sleeve to separate the camera head and cable from the sterile arthroscope eyepiece.

Perasafe Perasafe is a rapid, instrument compatible, user and environmentally friendly, chemical sterilant. Supplied as a safe, space-saving powder, Perasafe is activated by simply dissolving in luke-warm tap water. Provides rapid sterilisation and re-use of endoscopy instruments. Aldehyde-free formulation gives efficacy without harm to instruments, health risks to nursing staff and avoids the need for special fume extraction or waste disposal systems.

Trochar cannulas are designed with different types of valves to reduce or to avoid CO2 loss when changing instruments and telescope during laparoscopy and thoracoscopy. Our reusable and patented magnetic valve trocar system has several advantages compared to other valve types. They are lightweight and because of the valve construction, the insertion of instruments and scopes will pass smoothly through without scratching or touching the front lens like in a so called automatic valve system. In addition there is nearly no gas loss even when changing instruments. There are no mechanical parts to clean inside except the magnetic flap itself which is a great help to your staff.

Fragment Forceps Pointed Reduction Forceps Introduction Ideal for fragment reduction, these forceps gently hold fragments in position whilst the permanent fixation is being applied. Particularly useful in the repair of fractures of the distal femur, acetabulum and distal tibia. The smaller sizes are useful in the repair of the long bones of the miniature dog and cat as well as the smaller bones of the distal limbs in large patients.

001200

For use in situations where a very wide ‘gape' is required or where the bulk of the instrument must be well away from the jaw tips. The spin lock version has been recommended for repositioning of the stifle, prior to placement of a lateral suture wire or nylon in CrCL repair.

Pointed Reduction Forceps with Spin Lock

It is often useful to place a temporary or permanent wire close to the point of forcep reduction. The reduction forceps are a familiar pattern but the addition of a wire guide enables accurate placement of wires up to 1.6mm across the fragment.

Where delicate reduction of fragments is undertaken, ratchet forceps can be frustrating in that they do not give as much ‘feel’ as is desirable. The spinlock version is used initially with the spinlock flipped out giving the surgeon maximum control. Once in place the spinlock is flipped back into position and then gently tightened.

Twin Point Fragment Forceps

Long Ratchet Schroeder Tenaculum

When lag screwing, it is often the case that the exact point where screw placement should be performed is occupied by the point of the reduction forceps. Twin point fragment forceps are designed to give secure fixation of bone fragments while allowing drilling and screwing between the jaw points. Especially useful in repairs of the fractures of the humeral condyles and the small bones distal to the carpus/hock. TWIN POINT FRAGMENT FORCEPS 001205

When using pointed reduction forceps to reduce and compress fractures the position of the jaw tip is exactly where the pilot hole for the screw should be. Use of twin point reduction forceps allows the pilot to be drilled at exactly the correct position. These large forceps are the correct size for most elbows, especially Spaniel elbows, which are most likely to be affected by IOHC.

Ikuta slotted clamps are designed to allow the passage of wires or screws at the point of maximum pressure. The Ikuta clamps are suitable for bones up to 20mm in diameter. The smaller sizes are for wires, the larger for small screws. For even larger screws use 001205 or 001206, Twin Point Fragment Forceps. Alternatively for a springier action try 001219 Long Ratchet Schroeders, a vusellum forcep. See elsewhere in this chapter for further details and pictures.

Small Serrated Bone Holding Forceps

Bone Holding Forceps Introduction Sadly there is no such instrument as a universal bone holding forcep. The range of sizes and shapes of bones and bone fragments is immense. Additionally the function required will vary also. Some applications require gentle holding others require aggressive clamping and manipulation. Select appropriate forceps for the procedure.

VI Bone Holding Forceps Manipulation of the long bones of cats and small dogs is difficult without crushing. The serrated jaws of this forcep are contoured to maximise grip and support. The tips are sharp. They may be used as small fragment forceps. SMALL SERRATED BONE HOLDING FORCEPS 001218

A general purpose bone holder for use in maintaining fracture reduction in I/M pinning. Also very useful for lag screwing and bone plating in that drills and screws can be passed through the centre of the jaw at the point of maximum compression. A very popular forcep.

A nice forcep for the manipulation of small bones or small bone fragments. You cannot have too many bone holding forceps!

Reduction Forceps Serrated Jaws Self Centering Bone Holding Forceps Some fracture reductions require that the bone forceps jaws be angled from the handles. Such forceps require: 1. A sophisticated hinge mechanism to allow the jaws to maintain alignment as they open and close. 2. A special locking device which can cope with the laxity at the hinge.

Self Centering Forceps Veterinary Pattern

The spin lock and the special jaw make the instrument very nice to use but very expensive. The veterinary pattern reflects the special requirements of veterinary anatomy i.e. the handles typically have to stand up from the bone compared with the human situation where the limbs are effectively cylinders and the handles can drop away from the bone.

Kern Bone Holding Forceps

A traditional clamp has been extensively reworked for veterinary patients to include patterns for cats and medium dogs. The human patterns are typically much too big. • Lightweight • Requires minimal exposure • Use to reduce oblique fractures

Kern bone holding forceps give a very firm controllable grip on long bones, facilitating manipulation and reduction of fragments. A quick release ratchet locks the jaws.

• Secures plate to fracture prior to screw placement

Kerns are very useful in general orthopaedics and for surgery around the hip joint, in particular:

Implant Cutters Surgical Finish Cutting orthopaedic implants with a hack saw is hard work and very time consuming. Stainless steel has the unfortunate property of work hardening i.e. the harder you try to cut it, the harder it becomes.

Dingmans Forceps

The surgical finish cutters are made from stainless steel with tungsten carbide cutting inserts. As with all tungsten carbide instruments avoid cutting at the tips of the inserts as this will fracture the hard-wearing but brittle insert. The close-cut models are designed to cut pins and wires close to the bone surface. It is particularly useful where wires are to be left in situ, e.g. repair of the fracture of the distal femur and tibial crest transplants. Useful for manipulation of bone fragments.

Cerclage Wire Twisters & Tighteners

A useful kit including wire passing and suture passing needles. The needles may be positioned in a wide variety of different angles.

Introduction Cerclage wire can be a very useful means of fragment fixation. However, inappropriate use can lead to devitalisation and wires are often to be found in the middle of delayed and non-unions. If the fracture reduction is not stable it would be better to take the wire out. Multiple wires may stabilise a situation where a single wire will not. Wires must be tight. Typically one in five wires will break if you are making the loops tight enough. Cerclage wire is tightened by either twisting or tensioning a wire loop.

The serrated tube style tip fixes the position of the drill hole, minimising ‘skate’ and providing soft tissue protection during drilling. The tube guides the cerclage wire or nylon through the hole (no more disappearing holes!). The loop on the other jaw ‘captures’ the implant and pulls it from the blind side. Applications include: • hemi-cerclage • passage of lateral sutures through tibial crest • passage of sutures for hip sling for coxo femoral subluxation • placement of lag screw holes • passage of ischial wires in TPO procedure Features “J” slots for quick capture and release. Textured handle for better grip and control. Bell shaped nut provides better leverage for tightening. Reduced threads require less turning of the nut for locking at wire and handle.

MIPO Minimally Invasive Plate Osteosynthesis Elevator

Periosteal Elevators Bone Lever/Periosteal Elevator

Hole in tip takes through suture material which is used to pull through the plate

One end of this instrument is bent for use as a hook for retrieving and manipulating bone fragments. The other end is a periosteal elevator useful for clearing soft tissue from bone prior to plating, drilling or burring.

This instrument is not so much a periosteal elevator more a dissecting probe to clear a tunnel under muscle layers for the plate. The periosteum is in fact left intact. Thanks to Andy Moores for the design and photograph.

Self Retaining Retractors Where scrubbed surgical assistance is lacking, self retaining retractors are an invaluable aid. Adequate retraction is essential for good visualisation of the fracture site or lesion. In addition retraction will minimise damage to the soft tissues. Both are key elements of successful orthopaedic surgery.

A blunt multi pronged flat retractor with a relatively wide gape, suitable for skin or large exposures.

Wests

The Gelpi is an extremely versatile self retaining retractor useful in almost any orthopaedic procedure. Veterinary Instrumentation Gelpis are different from standard Gelpis in two respects: 1.Short blunt tips give focal retraction for precise exposure of the fracture or lesion. 2. The teeth on the ratchet are smaller than usual giving finer control over the spread of the tips.

A sharp multi pronged curved retractor which can sit quite nicely on our patients without distorting the surgical site.

Gelpis are virtually an extra pair of hands and are invaluable in circumstances where the surgeon is working alone. This is the norm in general practice. The curved shape sits nicely on our patients. Useful in the following procedures and many more: • • • •

Total Head and Neck Excision Meniscal examination Fracture repairs Laminectomies

‘K’ Wire Bender

Osteotomes Light

Swedish Pattern

Use an osteotome to make a precise elective cut, e.g. trochanteric osteotomy, excision arthroplasty. OSTEOTOMES

Small wires are commonly used to re-attach bone fragments which have been produced either by trauma or electively by osteotomy. To minimise ‘backing out', the cut ends of "K" wires and arthrodesis wires should either be buried or bent sharply and cut 5-10mm from the bend. The cut ends are then rotated to the most comfortable position (see photo). Bending with fingers or pliers is difficult to control and is very likely to damage the repair. The "K" wire/small pin bender is designed to slip over the wire concentrating all the bending forces at the pin/bone interface. The instrument is double ended, the small end is for 0.9mm, 1.1mm and 1.4mm wires, the large end is for 1.6mm & 2.0mm wires. "K" WIRE/SMALL PIN BENDER 001362

DogLeggs...Adjustable.

Thermo Plastic Splinting

Management of elbow hygroma and decubital ulcers is very difficult without changing the environment or behaviour which is causing the problem. If this is not possible the use of protective dressings may be the only solution. DogLeggs are designed specifically for the purpose. They are made from comfortable machine washable materials and stay where they are needed. DogLeggs provide comfort and protection while allowing complete freedom of movement. Available in five sizes or may be custom made.

Marq-Easy Thermo Plastic Splinting Rectangular Sheets

• Post-surgical use • Easy to Use increasing client compliance. Owners want a solution. • Suitable for use 24/7 in chronic cases The wide variety of shapes and sizes of animal patients makes splinting a challenge. Thermal plastic, widely used in human medicine, is heated in hot water and moulded to a specific custom shape for the patient. The thermal plastic material is available in a variety of rectangular- sized flat sheets. White.

To determine which size is required 1. Measure around the leg at the point of the elbow. 2. Measure around the leg at a point 4” (100mm) below the point of the elbow. 3. Select chest strap. The chest strap holds the DogLeggs in the correct position. Some dogs manage without.

BIKO CANINE PHYSIO BRACE

Degenerative myelopathy (CDRM) is not uncommon, particularly in the German Shepherd, Boxer and Pembroke Corgi. It is a difficult condition to manage either medically or surgically. Whilst the progression of the degeneration can be delayed by dietary supplements, treatment options are very limited. Sooner or later the control over the hind limb deteriorates to the point where walking and particularly turning is difficult. Excoriation of the toes and dorsal surface of the foot typically follows. Affected dogs are well in themselves and owners are often highly motivated. Keeping the dog as active as possible is important to delay progression. The Biko physio brace has been developed to assist the dog in walking and turning for as long as possible. The system is based on elastic straps which run from a chest harness to the hind feet. As the the hind foot reaches the end of the stride and the weight is transferred to the opposite foot the strap helps to bring the trailing foot straight forward ready for the next stride thereby compensating for the loss of muscle tone.

K9 Float Coat The use of water treadmills and/or swimming as non weight bearing exercise are becoming increasingly popular in canine rehabilitation. Necessary precautions should include the use of a quality life preserver with the means of rapid removal from the water. The Float Coat has a durable nylon shell with an ergonomic fit. The coat has high buoyancy and a low profile assistance handle. The handle and coat are strong enough to support and lift the dog from the water. Secured by quick release buckles the Float Coat is supplied in green. Also useful for dogs who love the water but are not as strong a swimmer as they used to be.

Dogs suffering from nerological deficits, both temporary and permanent, due to disc pathology will also benefit from the Biko brace. The brace is simple to apply and is tolerated very well. Dogs resume useful levels of activity significantly improving the length and the quality of their lives. The physiotherapy occurs whenever the dog is walking which makes it more effective than sessional hydrotherapy or physiotherapy. Use of the Biko brace delays euthanasia or use of a cart. Feedback from owners is excellent.

Should scuffing continue we recommend the use of Therapaws (see page 69)

Length = distance from back of neck to the base of tail.

Web Master Harness Measurements and coding

The safe use of hydrotherapy should include either a float coat or, for experienced swimmers, a safety harness. Patients should not be swimming with a simple collar. The Web Master Harness is comfortable and cushioned in all the right areas but strong enough to lift the dog from the water.

Before the dog can be measured for the Biko device an appropriate harness must be in position. This may be supplied by the veterinary surgeon or purchased elsewhere. If there is any difficulty we can supply (see pricing section). The caudal ring of the harness should sit just behind the scapulae in the centre of the spine. If the ring is too far back it will limit the effectiveness of the Biko device. Some harnesses drop the ring too far caudally e.g. a large harness on a stocky dog.

Manufactured from heavy duty nylon with quick release buckle. Designed with hydrotherapy in mind but also useful as a mobility assist in any dog unsure of its footing into cars or up steps etc.

Measurement ‘A’ is the distance from the ring to the cranial aspect of the proximal metatarsus. Measure ‘B’ is the circumference around the foot at the level of the proximal metatarsus.

Colour is black and red.

Coding. Using the above measurements the product code becomes BIKOAABB, where AA is measurement A in cms and BB is measurement B in cms.

Single KE Clamp

This clamp remains the industry standard in veterinary orthopaedics. Most criticisms levelled at KE are usually attributable to pilot error. Used correctly KE is very effective. Used to attach fixation pin to connecting bar, the single clamp is the key element of any external fixation frame. Its size will dictate the size of the fixation pin and the size of the connecting bar. The greater the diameter of the connecting bar and the greater the number of connecting bars, the stronger the apparatus.

Fixator Systems KE Plus ‘The Second Generation'

As a guide, we would suggest small clamps for up to 5kgs, medium clamps for 5 - 30kgs, and large clamps or multiple medium frames for over 30kgs.

KE equipment is a very versatile system which has stood the test of time and remains the industry standard. However, one major limitation is that positive threaded pins cannot be inserted through the standard clamp. Most authorities are recommending the use of at least some positive threaded pins in any construct.

Each clamp will accept a variety of pins. The pin size indicated is the largest possible. Smaller pins will also work although the fixation is not quite as rigid. e.g. the proximal radius may need a slightly smaller pin than the distal radius.

Veterinary Instrumentation has developed KE Plus specifically to increase the range of pins which may be used including positive threaded pins. For any given size of clamp it is now possible to use both larger and smaller diameter pins than standard KE systems. KE Plus is fully compatible with your existing KE set up. KE Plus clamps have a matt finish compared with the polished standard KE clamps.

SINGLE KE CLAMP

Insert sleeves may be used through the KE Plus clamps to act as soft tissue protectors for pilot drills. See table on page 75 for insertion data. 73

Used to attach a connecting bar to another connecting bar. If possible, the fixation pins in the proximal fragment should be linked to the pins in the distal fragment via single clamps and a single connecting bar. This is not always possible because of the shape of the bones or the angle of placement of the pins.

Occasionally it is necessary to add a pin to a frame to improve stability. If the pin is required in the middle of a frame it will be necessary to dismantle the whole frame. The split clamp enables the surgeon to introduce additional pins without disassembly. When fully loosened the clamp slides over the connecting bar. Not as secure as a standard single clamp.

DOUBLE CLAMPS 001592

Extra Large Single Clamp

Split Clamp

It may be necessary to connect the pins in the proximal fragment to a short connecting bar and the pins in the distal segment to another short connecting bar. Finally the two short connecting bars are joined by a long connecting bar using double clamps. The frame is not as rigid as the single connecting bar frame. Double clamps may be used to connect long bars proximally and distally, as in type III frames.

Connecting bars are available in 5/16" for large clamps, 3/16" for medium clamps and 1/8" for small clamps. The thicker the bar, the stronger the frame. The shorter the bar between bone fragments, the stronger the frame. Rigidity is important early in fracture healing. When significant callus is present, it is often helpful to introduce some slight axial motion by either removing some pins or moving the clamps further away from the bone. This is known as staging down or dynamising. Bars are available in a variety of lengths. CONNECTING BARS 001595

Cortical Negative Threaded Pins (Ellis type)

Pin Choice

The drilling tip of this type of pin is the long Trochar. Immediately behind the Trochar is a short fine thread designed to engage the far cortex. The smooth shank engages the near cortex. The thread/shank junction (the weakest part of the pin) is positioned in the medullary cavity and is therefore protected.

There are some rules: 1. Threaded pins have a higher pull out resistance and may be placed at right angles to the bone surface c.f. smooth pins. It is therefore possible to place more pins per bone fragment using threaded pins. 2. Try to place at least 3 pins in each fragment. If only 2 pins are possible use as large a diameter as seems safe. The bone holding power of a pin is proportional to the bone/pin interface it creates. 1/3 fragment diameter is the usual guideline.

Ellis type pins have improved pull out resistance over Trochar pins and the angle of placement is not as critical. Ellis pins should be placed at right angles to the bone if possible. Cortical

3. As far as end thread pins are concerned, do not worry too much about the positive/negative profile. Select your pins based on thread diameter not shaft diameter. Your fixator system (old KE) may impose positive profile pins on you to obtain a given thread diameter.

Trochar

Our Trochar pins have a special long point designed to cut bone. Use of pins with short trochar tips generates heat which leads to pin loosening.

Bicortical Negative Threaded Pins Negative bicortical pins have had a bad reputation for early failure at the thread pin junction. Where selection of pin and frame are appropriate failure of negative threaded pins is rare.

The smooth shanks of the pins provide minimal pull out resistance. Trochar pins should, therefore, be placed at converging or diverging angles compared to other pins in the same bone fragment.

The important criterion is thread diameter not shaft diameter. For any given thread diameter both positive and negative threaded pins are equally strong. Virtually all human pins are negative threaded!

More prone to pin fracture than Ellis pins. Always use three pins on either side of the fracture if possible.

Positive Threaded Pins - Cortical End Thread

ESF Lag Pins with Olive

Mid Thread

The fine threads of these pins are proud of the shank eliminating the weak point where the thread ends in other pins. The major benefit of positive pins is that the additional thread diameter creates a larger bone pin interface for a given shaft diameter. This style of pin is useful where a good pull out resistance is required and where it is anticipated that the frames will be left in situ for long periods - 6 weeks plus. Use KE Plus clamps if available. Place at right angles to the bone.

Used almost exclusively in the management of complex humeral fractures involving a variant on the ‘Y’ or ‘T’ fracture. The olive, positioned at the end of the threaded portion of the pin, acts as the screw head in a lag screw. Bone fragments may be compressed and incorporated into the external fixator frame. The bone fragment involved is usually the lateral condyle. ESF LAG PINS WITH OLIVE

Pin Cutters Correct pin insertion requires slow axial rotation under pressure. A Jacobs hand chuck can be used particularly where bone is young and soft. There is a tendency when using a hand chuck to produce a hole which is not circular, this will reduce the pin/bone interface resulting in premature pin loosening. The small Jacobs hand chuck gives better control and is big enough for 2, 3 and 4mm pins.

See page 48

Safety Pin Cutter to 4mm

The ideal instrument in my experience, is the Variable Speed Orthopaedic Drill which offers maximum control and minimal wobble. It delivers pure axial rotation. It is a low speed, high torque device and, of course, useful elsewhere in veterinary orthopaedics. For further details about the drill and spare chucks see Chapter 5 - Power Tools.

Safety Cutter

ESF Tissue Protector

Most types of bolt cutter; • cause the cut end to fly off in a potentially dangerous manner Protection of soft tissue is very important when placing an ESF frame. Tissue protection whilst placing single pins is relatively straight forward. However, once a bar is in position passing a pin through a clamp into bone presents a particular difficulty. Standard tissue protectors cannot be removed. The ESF tissue protector splits along its length to allow removal. The tip has small serrations to encourage grip on the bone surface.

• create a sharp point leading to soft tissue irritation • deform the cut area which may jam in ESF clamps. The enclosed shearing action of this pin cutter addresses all these problems. The cutting range and type of action makes this cutter ideal for trimming ESF pins. The actual cut is 5mm below the surface of the cutter. SAFETY PIN CUTTER to 4mm 001229

Consists of 8 single KE Plus clamps, 2 double clamps, 2 long bars, 2 short bars. Some fractures and some patients require more elaborate frames using either more clamps or more connecting bars. The standard kit will enable you to deal with most situations.

When purchased as kits there is typically a 10% reduction in total cost. All single clamps will be KE Plus.

Type One Kit Contains a long bar and 4 or 6 KE Plus single clamps. Pins and spanners are not included. This is the minimum frame you should try to use. Two pins only in the distal fragment is more acceptable than 2 pins proximally. Pin complications are usually fewer in the distal fragment.

EXTERNAL FIXATION

Linear Fixators Large Linear Fixator (LLF) Small Linear Fixator (SLF)

The small linear fixator is designed for use in the stabilisation of fractures requiring pins with thread diameters ranging from 1.5mm to 4mm. The clamps are of two types. The ‘slide on’ type is fed onto the end of the bar. The ‘hook on’ type may be fitted into the middle of an existing frame. Each type of clamp is available as two variants, the 4.0mm variant and the 2.5mm variant. The 4.0mm variant is used to connect bars to each other and for pin thread diameters 4.0mm, 3.5mm and 3.0mm. The 2.5 variant is used for pins with thread diameters 2.5mm, 2.0mm and 1.5mm.

Double Pin clamp

The clamps are of two types. The ‘Slide on’ type is fed onto the end of the bar. The ‘Clip on’ type may be fitted into the middle of an existing frame. The clip on clamp is springloaded and clips onto the bar in a semi-retained fashion pending tightening. Additionally the pin clamp is springloaded, the pins clip in and are retained pending insertion and tightening. The tightening of the clamp to the bar and the clamp to the pins are separate operations. There is minimal slipping and sliding during assembly. The clamp offers multi-point fixation to pins 3.00mm to 6.0mm. A feature of all the clamps is a system of internal locking grooves which interlock when tightened giving very rigid angular fixation (c.f. KE type systems)

The clamps may be used with either Stainless Steel or Carbon Fibre bars of 4.0mm in diameter. This is a beautifully engineered system which costs little more than KE. Available as a set including clamps, wrenches, carbon bars and pins of all sizes saving 10% on component costs.

EXTERNAL FIXATION

Acrylic Pin External Fixation System An Acrylic Pin External Fixator (APEF) is created by replacing mechanical connecting clamps and rigid connecting bars with mouldable acrylic columns. APEF is indicated for any fracture or arthrodesis where a comparable sized bar/column fixator would be appropriate. Research has shown the acrylic columns provide equal or greater strength when compared to the traditional K-E designs in all standard configurations. The illustration shows use of frame alignment kit APFAK422. Please bear in mind that, ultimately, the acrylic has to be poured which will have implications for the repair.

APEF TIPS • Rather than wait a fixed time to pour, wait until the mix starts to thicken. The setting time will vary with ambient temperature. • Once cut, roll up the bag to minimise waste. • Use cotton wool to help clot any seepage. • Remember to orientate the tube so that the acrylic runs down the tube.

Epoxy E.S.F. putty is a simple to use, quick and convenient alternative to the standard bar and clamp system. The putty, once mixed, stiffens in 5 minutes and within 1 hour is fully cured. The putty can be applied and then the fracture reduced allowing precise manipulation of the fracture site. The versatility of the system allows the putty to be used in place of clamps, to cover sharp ends of cut pins, and many other applications.

Removing frame alignment clamps

There are two pack sizes in a bar format with the premeasured catalyst in the centre of the bar ready for mixing. The product is clean and has a long shelf life. Only mix the quantity you need, cutting the required amount off the end of the bar. If you find you don't have enough, more can be prepared in a matter of seconds. E.S.F. putty sticks to itself very well and may be used for repairs and corrections. Particularly useful in fractures in small furries where proximal and distal fragments may be attached together with ‘blobs' of putty in place of clamps regardless of fixation pin site. • Easy to use • Economical • Versatile

Typical Applications • ESF applications requiring multiple pins of various sizes placed at various angles. • ESF applications in rabbits and guinea pigs • Fractures of the jaw • Protecting sharp ends of cut pins • Joining non-standard pins and bars • Use to add a pin mid frame

APEF Pins & Frame Alignment Kit APEF pins come in either 3.2mm (1/8") diameter or 2.4mm (3/32") diameter. The threaded pins have a positive profile thread. APEF functions very well with all Vet Instrumentation ESF pins.

EXTERNAL FIXATION

Dynamic Fixators External fixation has an increasingly important place in veterinary orthopaedics including the management of fractures, non unions and growth plate abnormalities in adult dogs. In addition to the standard KE and KE Plus systems, Veterinary Instrumentation also offers a range of dynamic external fixators which are of particular use in the management of growth plate injuries in the growing dog.

Linear Distractors Uniplanar Dynamic Distractor Bone lengthening is occasionally required to substitute bone lost through growth plate abnormalities, e.g. short radius or trauma. The bilateral dynamic fixator is more user friendly than the ring fixator. N.B 1.00mm pitch means that one full turn of the adjuster moves the assembly 1.00mm. Sliding clamps are available as either single or doubles. When significant bowing of the bone involved has occurred (usually radius) some singles may be necessary.

NEW ESF PIN SIZES We get many requests for “in between” pin sizes. We have now added several new sizes to both Ellis and positive profile pins to enable the surgeon to match pin with the bone fragment.

Full ring fixator assemblies are a challenge to plan and assemble. A single distal ring attached to standard ESF linear bars can be very useful in the management of distal fractures of particularly the radius and tibia where it can be difficult to place sufficient standard pins for stability. Bars are available for use of rings with medium and large KE/KE plus clamps and the large linear fixator. Including crossed wires distally also subjects the healing fracture to micromovement which has been shown to encourage good callus. Rings of 70mm and less do not require wire tensioning. 100mm plus rings demand that the wires are tensioned.

Ellis Pins now available as follows: 1.1mm, 1.6mm, 2.0mm, 2.4mm, 2.7mm *,3.0mm, 3.2mm, 3.5mm *, 4.0mm

The well established Multi saw is also available in a mains powered (240v) version. This plug in version has the advantage of reliability of power and significantly the speed of the saw is variable allowing a slow start speed. The disadvantage is that a flex is not convenient and care should be taken to eliminate electrical hazards in theatre. The option of a slow speed is also an advantage when used as a cast saw. The surgical attachment and blades are common to both battery and mains powered saws. MULTISAW, VARIABLE SPEED MAINS POWERED 240V 001711

Slocum Blade Adaptor The Multi Saw is a multi-function oscillating saw which may be used as a cast cutter and a surgical oscillating saw. The standard rechargeable saw is supplied as a kit including charger, battery and gypsum type saw blade. Our stainless attachment converts the multi saw into a surgical saw in a similar fashion to our orthopaedic drill. With the converter and shroud in place, all exposed surfaces are sterile. Excellent for total femoral head and neck excision, TPLO by Tibial Wedge Osteotomy and TTA. A wide range of blades fit the multi saw. We recommend either the Desoutter S82 series or the Halls 5071 series. The latter offers a slimmer cut 0.8mm c.f. 1.2mm. This adaptor converts our standard Multi Saw into a radial/bi-radial blade driver. The mount is in fact the old Stryker triangular mount. Please bear in mind the following, once mounted the saw sits at right angles to the long axis of the saw c.f. standard Slocum type saws. Additionally the cut is less aggressive in that the oscillation is 4˚ rather than the 6˚ of standard saws. The cut will, therefore, be slower. Ideal as a budget alternative or as a back up to your air saw.

VI MiniDriver

K110 Small (4mm) Jacobs Chuck

The MiniDriver Is Dead!! Long Live the MiniDriver!!

Both Jacobs chuck attachments are through cannulated for driving long pins. 4mm capacity with key.

3Ms Orthopaedic was sold to Linvatec who killed off the MiniDriver and the MaxiDriver as they competed with their own product range. The MiniDriver remains in widespread use and in many ways is the ideal small animal orthopaedic power system particularly when used with the Mark II saw. Veterinary Instrumentation is pleased to announce that we are having the entire MiniDriver range re-manufactured including the K220 which takes a larger blade than the original Mark I saw. In fact we have improved on some of the accessories. New MiniDriver sets are available from £2800. Some say the torque on the MiniDriver is too low. OK then buy the high torque chuck which more than triples the torque!

Many drills and taps are available with a quick release fitting, the most common of which is to the Synthes or AO standard. Drills may be changed quickly without the use of a chuck key. The original version was made from relatively soft aluminium. The re-manufactured K114B is made from stainless steel and is easier to use than the original.

K200 MiniDriver Handpiece

K114B AO QUICK RELEASE ATTACHMENT

Fully re-furbished to the new K200 standard, the handpiece is the centre of the modular system. Handpiece has forward and reverse button plus locking trigger. Power output with Medical Air @7bar input is 0.78 Newton Meters. Speed variable 0-1100rpm.

K111 Wire Driver Re-attachment of osteotomies or small bone fragments is often best achieved using ‘K’ or arthrodesis (‘A’) wires. Driving a long pin in a chuck often results in bending and kinking making driving difficult. Incrementally advancing the wire through a chuck is fiddly and time consuming. The wire driver allows the easy incremental advancement of the wire through the handpiece via the use of a clutch arrangement.

K220 Mark II Sagittal Saw

The Mark II saw is more robust in construction than the K120 saw. Blade attachment is by use of a hex wrench. While this gave a more rigid attachment of the blade to the saw it was also the weak point of the attachment. We have re-engineered the blade holding mechanism to make it stronger and made the whole attachment from stainless steel. The Mark II saw drives a larger ranger of blades including longer ones up to 42mm useful in the TTO and TTA procedures. Much more expensive than the Mark I version.

Maxi Driver Modular System

MaxiDriver3 Modular System

The MaxiDriver remains the workhorse of very many human and veterinary orthopaedic units. It is extremely reliable and almost infinitely repairable. It’s robust construction will tolerate a good deal of abuse. Veterinary Instrumentation is remanufacturing the handpieces and attachments and has taken steps to ensure that all spares are available or can be re-made. The New MaxiDriver has a full 1 MAXL100R year warranty. The handpiece is significantly bigger than the MiniDriver (940g vs 480g). The modular system takes 15 quick release attachments. All attachments also available in new re-manufactured condition. Please phone for details. A huge range of saw blades is available making the MaxiDriver Kit an extremely good value introduction to orthopaedic power. MaxiDriver Kits are particularly good value.

The MaxiDriver Mk 3 was the final version of this industry standard air system before 3Ms were taken over by Linvatec and the MaxiDriver was killed off. The preowned price is only 25% of original list The Maxi 3 is a lovely system to work with, which we support wholeheartedly. The attachments are particularly easy to switch. The system comes with a 12 month warranty as if it was new. Amazing value compared with new equipment. Weight of the handpiece is 1065g . Set includes: Handpiece, Jacobs Chuck, Keyless Chuck, Sagittal Saw, AO Chuck, Reciprocating Saw, Pin/Wire Driver, Hose and Case. Sagittal Saw takes the standard range of MaxiDriver blades.

Halls (Linvatec) Spinal Bur System Surgairtome II

The small Jacobs stainless chuck is fitted with the standard Synthes quick release attachment. This chuck will now fit the 511 series of Synthes drill allowing it to drive round shaft drills as well as pins and wires. It will also fit all Sythes tap handles making it a useful hand driver.

This is the current replacement for the Minos A200. Available both new and pre-owned. Similar performance to the Minos but has an air brake, so the bur stops immediately the trigger is released. Not as robust as the Minos as the drive is through gears but preferred by some surgeons e.g. Simon Wheeler.

When burs stop cutting mid procedure the reason is usually clogging of the cutting flutes. High speeds (100,000 rpm) minimise the problem. Dremel type flexdrive units are particularly prone.

www.vetinst.com Burs

All surgical burs have a 2.36mm shank (HP fitting) and will fit in all high speed surgical bur machines e.g. 3M's Minos, Halls Surgairtome, Foredom. We have selected Komet burs for their high quality. All are single pack and non sterile. In human surgery burs are regarded as disposable items. In veterinary surgery the cost precludes using burs as disposables. However, use of burs which are less than sharp extends procedure time and creates heat. We do advise that burs are checked and changed on a regular basis. Diamond burs are sharper and create less heat that carbide equivalents. Adequate irrigation is essential. Please see chart for options and prices.

Aesculap Motor Systems by B Braun

Aesculap TPLO Saw Blades

Acculan Ti Modular System

Aesculap TPLO blades are, as you would expect, engineered to very high standards and have a number of important features.

• Blade is slightly thicker at the cutting edge which reduces friction and heat at the level of the blade body. • Cutouts in the blade body further reduce heat generated by friction, the single biggest problem associated with TPLO. Aesculap is known world wide for its quality and reliability. The Acculan 3Ti is their latest battery driven modular system which meets the highest standards of reliability, durability and ergonomics. The body is machined from Titanium for light weight and durability. All standard attachments are available including: drill, oscillating saw, AO quick fit & wire driver. The wire driver takes all pins up to 4.0mm and the Acculan 3Ti has the power to drive 4.0mm pins.

• The blade is designed to be resharpened by laser up to 3 times • Available in 18, 20, 24, 27 and 30mm • TPLO blade template available printed onto a clear acetate. The blade profile is a useful planning aid for radial cut TPLOs.

HAND SHARPENED

LASER SHARPENED

For maximum efficiency saw blades must be sharp, this is particularly true of radial and biradial blades which are inherently inefficient. It is not possible to sharpen a blade by hand to the same degree of sharpness as a computer controlled laser cutter. See above pictures. We are now able to offer professional laser blade sharpening for TPLO saw blades. For Aesculap blades we offer an ‘exchange service’ you send your blunt blade to us and we will send you a laser sharpened blade refurbished to as new condition. Aesculap blades can be sharpened twice.

notch

UK MA7

US Schrader

Slocum blades may also be sharpened to the same standard but not on an exchange basis. Even if you feel hand sharpening is satisfactory, blades will benefit from laser sharpening to level the teeth. Blunt blades are the biggest source of TPLO complication through thermal necrosis. All the air equipment runs on Medical Air at 7 Bar (100PSI) Drills and saws can be run from compressors as their air requirement is intermittent. High speed drills need bottled gas or a big compressor. A twin dial regulator is best to control gas pressure (001756). One dial gives bottle pressure, the other one gives line pressure (7 Bar).

The best solution is to change the probe. A cheaper alternative is to use a Schrader/MA7 adaptor (001758).

TPLO Saws and Blades

TPLO Radial Saw Blades

21, 27, Mandrel

21 Blade

Slocum TPLO blades create a patented biradial cut which means that the tibial plateau segment fits the distal tibia section exactly with maximum bone contact. While this is a good thing the design of the blade does not cut very efficiently and needs regular hand sharpening if excess heat is not to be produced. Veterinary Instrumentation has been looking at TPLO blades for a number of years and is introducing a range of Radial blades which cut better and are cheaper to replace than the Slocum original. They have the same triangular stryker connection.

We are now able to supply radial cut blades in the following sizes: 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, & 30mm.

£2,350.00 £375.00

Mandrels are available for the following sizes: 15, 18 & 24, 21 & 27 and 30mm. The theoretical benefits of a bi-radial blade are well known. However, in practice the bi-radial blade is not very efficient at cutting bone even when new. After hand sharpening the efficiency falls still further. An inefficient blade creates heat. The thermal necrosis produced by the bi-radial blade neutralises any benefit derived from the bi-radial cut.

Modular Stainless TPLO Blades

Our titanium blades are light, thin, hard and replaceable. In addition the blades have a ’set’ (the teeth are alternately offset as in all wood cutting saws) which creates a slot slightly wider than the blade. This reduces the friction and heat still further as well as preventing the blade jamming in the osteotomy. When the blade becomes worn simply replace with new sharp blade. RADIAL CUT TPLO BLADES

All the blades fit the standard hub. The 30mm blade requires a collar which is supplied with the hub. The blades have a ‘set’ which makes the teeth slighter wider at the tips which reduces friction and heat as the blade passes through the bone. For those who purchased our stainless steel hub system taking semi disposable radial cut blades we are pleased to inform you that in addition to the 24mm blade, 18 and 30mm blades are now available. The blades are long lasting with a tooth ‘set’ to reduce heat generation. When they get dull simply fit a new one.

SPINAL SURGERY

Surgery of the spine

Bur Systems

Introduction

A range of both electric and air driven Bur systems for spinal surgery are shown on page 98 in Chapter 5. The Electric Foredom Bur system is suitable for the occasional spinal surgery, whilst surgeons cutting more than one back per month may find the Minos/Surgairtome of interest. All power tools are available individually or as part of a discounted kit.

Rongeurs & Punches All rongeurs and spine forceps cut with one part of the jaw inserted into the compromised spinal canal. Our spine instruments are designed to minimise the size of the lower jaw. In many cases this will reduce the cutting strength of the instrument which should only be used on appropriate bone thickness. A selection of rongeurs will be required. Surgery of the spine in the cat and the dog can be performed in general practice provided that appropriate skills and instrumentation are available. Diagnostic skills and equipment are of course equally important. Myelography is another procedure which is not particularly difficult and can be very rewarding. However, myelography perhaps should only be performed if the means to correct the problem is available. Spinal surgery is an increasingly common topic at CPD meetings and courses. Equipped with knowledge and some instruments, practice (initially on cadavers) makes perfect.

Duck-billed Daniel Rongeurs

Actual Size

Many procedures can be performed using hand instruments only, eg. fenestration of cervical and thoraco/lumbar discs. Even hemilaminectomies and slotting can be done manually provided that the correct instruments and time are available. Access to high speed drills and burs does, however, make life easier and significantly reduces surgery time. The choice of power tools is very difficult with a wide range of options. Important criteria include drill speed, bur range, ease of sterilising and expense.

Designed by Simon Wheeler BVSc PhD, these rongeurs can remove full thickness laminal bone in small dogs. They are, however, best used to remove the layer of deep cortical bone overlying the spinal cord once the superficial cortex and cancellous bone have been removed using power tools; this is particularly true of the medium and large dog.

Veterinary Instrumentation has assembled a range of hand instruments and surgical power tools which will enable the veterinary surgeon to perform most spinal procedures.

This instrument is designed for use with high speed bur systems. The bur is used to remove the outer cortical layer and the underlying cancellous layer, leaving only the inner cortical bone (appoximately egg shell thickness). Access to the neural canal is achieved using the bur or a small mobiliser (001420). The powerful nibbling action allows the final layer of bone to be removed in a very controlled manner.

This is a traditional design with a 40 degree upward cutting jaw. Robust spine forceps. Good quality and excellent value. SMITH KERRISON PUNCH FORCEPS 001445

It will not help you if you hit a venous sinus but will control the seepage of blood from cut cancellous bone which obscures the visual field. The wax physically blocks the blood vessels.

Bone Cement An alternative is the distraction of the disc space using a small screw and filling the space with Gentamycin BC1G Bone Cement. Bone cement is also used for stabilising spinal fractures. Use screws or pins to provide ‘keying’ points. For full list of available bone cement see page 151. At the present time distraction fusion techniques seem to offer the best chances of success. The rapid improvement following surgery encourages the owners to persevere to long term stabilisation. The Mckee washer has been shown to give a relatively high success rate for this most difficult condition. Each size washer has its own distractor to facilitate insertion. The washer is maintained in situ by a 3.5mm position screw.

Implant Designs and Specifications

Instruments Sherman Self-Tapping Equipment

For many years, veterinary orthopaedics have been complicated by the use of two incompatible plating systems: AO/ASIF type cortical screws plus compression type plates, and Sherman type screws plus Sherman and Venables type plates. The two systems differed both in their metallurgy and their strength.

Kits Sherman Plating Kits Savings may be made by purchasing pre-assembled kits. The price is typically discounted by 5% less than the component price.

All our implants are now made from stainless steel of the latest human specification, exceeding DIN 17443 and ISO 5832/1 (all are versions of stainless 316LV). This is the same specification material used by other manufacturers. In addition where international standards have been applied to screw threads e.g. 3.5 cortical screws (DIN 58812) our implants meet these standards. It is now safe to use implants from a variety of sources provided they meet the above specifications. All implants made in Europe must be compatible with each other.

Each kit contains all you need including screws and implants. Full details of what the kit includes is available at www.vetinst.com/kits SHERMAN PLATING KITS STAPKIT.2.0

Sherman Equipment and Screw Boxes

Round hole plates may be used with cortical screws. Only corticocancellous screws with spherical heads can be used to achieve compression using compression plates.

Sherman Equipment & Screw Box

Self-Tapping Cortical Screws After many years of being advised by AO that self-tapping screws were unacceptable, it now seems that they are fine and are supplied as selftapping cortical screws. The pull out resistance is unaffected provided the self-tapping flutes sit outside the bone. In our view long holes in hard bone should be pre-tapped e.g. a trans-condylar screw in the mature humerus or a position screw through the calcaneus. Veterinary Instrumentation's cortical kits are now available with self-tapping cortical screws or regular cortical screws which require a tap.

2.0 Equipment/Screw Box

The Sherman equipment box includes space for the essential equipment and a screw rack.

Implant Codes To minimise confusion regarding ordering, we have given our implants codes which accurately describe the item in question. For example: C2706052 is a compression plate for 2.7 screws which has 6 holes and is 52mm long. To further assist in decision making and ordering, templates are printed on pages 278 to 288 which show the exact shape of all the plates available. Each outline is described by its own code. Acrylic overlays of these templates for use during fracture planning with radiographs are available free of charge from Veterinary Instrumentation.

www.vetinst.com 3.5mm 9/64” Self Tapping Screws (Sherman)

3.5mm Heavy Duty Plate Round Holes (12mm wide 4mm thick)

Although looked down upon by some orthopaedic surgeons, the 9/64" Sherman bone screw has a very similar pull out resistance to 3.5mm cortical screws. The main problem with this screw has been the lack of suitable bone plates. Our range of 3.5mm round hole bone plates widens the scope of these self tapping screws considerably. Use flat screwdriver SDF350 or cruciate screwdriver SDC3500. The head of this screw is conical. It cannot be used in DCPs to create inter-fragmentary compression.

The heavy duty plate is stronger than either 3.5mm compression plate or our 3.5mm standard round hole plate. Use of this plate makes 3.5mm cortical or 9/64" Sherman screws appropriate in even the largest canine breed. The plate profile is the same as a 3.5mm broad DCP.

Larger table available on page 289. By carefully positioning screws within the special holes of compression plates, compression can be exerted at the reduced fracture site as the screw is tightened. As the spherical head of the screw strikes the rear edge of the hole in the plate, the screw, (and the attached bone) are forced away from the edge of the hole and towards the fracture site.

Compression Plates and Cortical Screws (AO/ASIF type)

The object of compression is to provide for primary bone union. A special guide must be used to position accurately the screw hole within the plate. The oval shaped holes in DCP’s allow a greater range of screw angulations than round hole plates. Cortical screws are available in both tapped and self tapping formats.

AO type screws and plates have, for many years, been the human and veterinary standard implants. They were originally designed in the 1950s by the AO study group [Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Osteosynthesefragen (English: Association for the Study of Internal Fixation, AO/ASIF) ] which continues to this day to lead the world in implant design. The design of the spherical screw head and the compression hole are particularly important as, unless made to very exacting specifications, will not work properly together. The composition and design of AO type implants are laid down in very detailed international standards. The specification for plates and screws are detailed below. Provided implants are made to these exacting standards it is safe to mix and match sources. Be very wary about using implants which may not comply. Veterinary Instrumentation implants are made in the U.K. in a factory for human implants where every aspect of manufacture is closely monitored so that every product meets the specification.

SELF-TAPPING

1.5/2.0mm Cortical Self Tapping Kit (CORTSTKIT1.5/2.0)

OR NON SELF TAPPING ? There is a significant trend towards the use of self-tapping screws over the traditional pre-tapped type. This trend is occurring in both veterinary and human orthopaedics. It takes roughly twice as long to drill, tap and insert a traditional screw compared with a self tapper. Any saving in time reduces morbidity and saves money. These saving are most pronounced in long procedures involving long plates and multiple screws.

Self-tapping screws are particularly suited to the proximal tibia where cortices are thin. Most self-tapping screws are therefore used in the TPLO and TTO procedures. Self-tappers are less suitable for use in hard cortical bone or dense bone such as the calcaneous or the distal humerus. This is not surprising in that the short self tapping flutes on the screw are less efficient at cutting threads than a purpose designed tap. Once the short cutting flutes on the screw tip are full of bone debris the tapping becomes inefficient, increasing the risk of splits.

It is suggested that as a new set up, the surgeon opts for a self-tapping kit. However, taps should also be purchased and used in appropriate situations. e.g. calcaneous, distal humerus and distal 1/3 of the tibia. The thread form of both screws is identical and the self-tapping threads will follow a pre-tapped pilot hole.

The description cortical means that the pilot hole must be pre-tapped prior to screw placement. Cortical Self Tapping means that the screw itself has a self tapping tip and cuts its own thread. Self tappers work very well in all but the hardest cortical bone. It recommended that surgeons using self tappers keep a tap ‘just in case’.

Taps

AO Equipment and Screw Boxes

A tap is essentially a cutting tool designed to pre-cut screw threads into the pilot hole prior to screw placement. The profile is similar to the screw in question but has long flutes to allow bone debris to be cleared. Taps are available as stand alone ‘T’ bar configuration or as a quick release version which require a separate handle. 2.4 2.7, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5 and 6.5mm quick release taps require Synthes type quick release handle. 1.5 and 2.0mm quick release taps require a small dental fit handle.

Our adjustable Drill Guide allows accurate placement of drill holes by predetermination of drill entry and exit points. Locks onto bone to minimise errors.

The large end has an internal diameter which matches the clearance drill and tap. The small end has an internal diameter the same as the pilot drill and an external diameter which fits the clearance drill hole, ie. the same as an insert sleeve. This single instrument contains all the guides and sleeves you need to place a lag screw.

• The swivelling point allows use of the guide where access is limited. • Supplied with 2.0, 2.5 and 3.5 drill sleeves. Use the appropriate sleeve for the drill in use.

COMBINATION DRILL, TAP & INSERT SLEEVE

• A scale on the instrument measures hole depth. • Applications include condyle fractures, femoral neck tunnels and screw holes, proximal TPLO screws, ununited anconeal process. In our view this design has significant advantages over ‘CEG’ and ‘C’ guides.

Drilling to a pre-measured depth can be a challenge even with a ‘C’ arm! A more reasonably priced option is to use a drill stop which is tightened onto the drill bit at the required depth. The set includes 4 stops to cover all the standard drill sizes. 2.0, 2.5, 2.7, 3.2, 3.5 & 4.5mm The stop is tightened onto the drill bit using the hex driver provided.

Various insert sleeves are available for each drill size, with an accurate guidance system, and provide exact positioning of holes for lag screwing, (e.g. for a 3.5mm cortical screw, drill 3.5 lag hole in proximal cortex, insert SL3525 and drill through it into the trans cortex. Finally tap and insert screw.)

Tissue Protection Sleeves

Hex Screwdrivers & Screwholding Sleeves

Rotating pins, drills and taps will "pick up" soft tissues, skin, muscle, nerve and blood vessels, causing serious damage. Use of tissue protection sleeves minimises such damage. The teeth at the top of the guide locate on the bone whilst the stainless tube provides a barrier between soft tissue and implant equipment.

Screwdrivers with screw holding sleeves hold the screw until it has engaged in the threaded hole. The sleeve is slid back up the shaft to release the screw without disengaging it.

If the screw is destined to screw down onto the surface of the bone without a plate, it is helpful to contour the top of the screw hole to fit the screw head. This procedure is especially important when lag screwing relatively small fragments. Failure to countersink may lead to fracture of the bone fragment.

Load Neutral Drill Guides

To exert compression at the fracture site, the cortical screw must be positioned precisely within the slot in the compression plate. The load/neutral drill guide has two tips, one for compression (load) and one where no compression is exerted (neutral). There is one combination for each screw/plate size. Each guide is marked with the drill size to be used.

The battery drills we use as a base for our shrouded orthopaedic drills have adjustable torque settings. While it is advised that the final tightenening of the screw is performed by hand, much time and effort can saved by power driving. Risks are low, particularly in the proximal tibia. To power drive using our drill we have created two hex driver extensions to fit into a standard Jacobs chuck. Use 2.5 hex for 2.7, 3.5 and 4.0mm screws and the 3.5 hex for 4.5 and 5.5 screws.

Screw Salvage Kit

Screw Holding Forceps

A useful instrument for selecting screws with minimal handling. Can be used with any style of screw. SCREW HOLDING FORCEPS Screw Holding Forceps

SF2055

£18.50 Removal of embedded screws can be a challenge particularly when fatigue and fracture leaves a headless portion of screw in situ exactly where a replacement is necessary. Ideally the screw should be removed without creating so much damage that a replacement cannot be set. The VI screw salvage set contains all the tools you might need for all sizes of screw. A loan set is also available. The charge is for 7 days rental and includes a return collection by courier. All losses and breakages will be charged accordingly. Mainland UK only.

Once the head of a screw has become detached the shaft can be very difficult to extract, particularly when the screw has been in situ for some time. The screw extraction trephine is designed to ‘core out’ the screw shaft either in its entirety or partially to allow the screw to be grasped by extraction forceps. The internal diameter is a little larger than the screw to be extracted. The external diameter is small enough in most cases to allow the replacement of the screw by a larger one.

To avoid repeated entry into the operation site when contouring plates, an ‘aluminium' bending template is contoured to the bone. The steel plate is then bent to match the template using irons or a bone plate press.

This type of screw is becoming increasingly popular in both human and veterinary orthopaedics. Self tapping flutes at the tip obviate the need for pre-tapping which saves time and reduces time related complications. Pull out strength is not affected provided the self-tapping flutes lie outside the bone cortex. Allow an extra 1mm when assessing screw length. Drill data: pilot drill 1.5mm, clearance drill 2.0mm.

2.0 DCPs are often too small and 2.7 DCPs are often too large. The 2.4 DCP falls exactly in between the 2.0 and the 2.7 in terms of weight and hole size and spacing. Plate profile on page 278.

2 Cutting Flutes

2.0mm and 2.7mm cortical screws may be used with the 2.4 mm DCP plate.

When working with cats and other smaller patients it is often the case that 2.0mm screws and plates are too small and 2.7mm screws and plates are too large. The jump from 2.0 DCPs to 2.7 DCPs is huge. 2.4mm screws are used in veterinary surgery but until now have not been available as a full range of cortical screws and DCPs.

2.4 DCPs have a matt finish to distinguish them from 2.0 and 2.7 plates. Use LNDG24 Load Neutral Drill Guide to obtain compression with 2.4 cortical screws. Use BX24CS as an equipment box for 2.4mm screws and plates.

Currently only available in the self tapping format. A quick fit tap is also available.

Broad 3.5mm Compression Plate

4.5mm Screws & Plates 4.5mm Cortical Screws

This plate is made from the same plate profile as the standard 4.5 narrow compression plate but drilled for 3.5 screws. These plates are usually impossible to contour without a bone plate press or roller type pliers, see page 61. Plate profile on page 279.

The standard human cortical screw is suitable for very large dogs and equines. Because it is a human product made in large numbers, 4.5mm screws are relatively inexpensive.

Veterinary IF Plate (Keyhole plate)

Occasionally a lag screw has to be placed exactly where the neutralisation plate required to protect it should sit. This usually results in a compromise of one or the other being placed in a less than ideal position or a fiddle trying to feed the screw through the plate at the same time as reducing the fracture. Veterinary Instrumentation’s new keyhole plate allows the plate to be placed after the lag screw. Before tightening the screw it is a simple matter to fit the protecting plate over the head of the screw. The screw head tightens into the narrower part of the keyhole. The design of the keyhole allows a greater range of screw angle than is possible in a standard DCP. The strength of the plate is unaffected. Available as a 3.5 7 hole DCP i.e. the keyhole hole and three either side.

4.5 Shaft Screws and IOHC

Use of self tapping screws can save considerable time and trauma. Reducing surgery time will reduce morbidity. Pull out strength is not affected provided the self tapping flutes lie outside of the cortex. Add an extra 1mm when assessing screw length.

Until such time as we are able to reliably stimulate the humeral condyles to fuse together, it seems that the only practical means of managing the problem is to place a large stabilising screw. In that the incidence of fatigue failure is high it seems sensible to use the strongest screw possible. We have manufactured a small range of 4.5 shaft screws from 32mm to 40mm specifically for this procedure. The threaded portion is 13mm long in all screws.

Self tapping screws are less effective in dense cortical bone. e.g. calcaneus. It is advised that an appropriate tap be available should the need arise.

Andy Moores advises me that the 4.5 shaft screw has an AMI (bending resistance) 5 times greater than a standard 4.5 cortical screw. Placement of the screw is, however a challenge in that the gliding hole has to cross the area of IOHC to penetrate into the far condyle. This may be achieved by imaging or by careful pre-measurement and the use of drill stops.

Locking Plates

TRAUMA IMPLANTS & INSTRUMENTS

www.vetinst.com

fine threads lock head into plate

Locking Plates with Stacked Locking Holes

large core to resist bending

Locking plates with dual or combination holes are useful but typically the interval between holes is too large, limiting how many screws are possible in a fragment. The stacked locking hole allows the use of both 3.5 cortical screws with limited angulation (7 degrees) and standard locking screws having full angle security through the same round hole. While the mixing of locking and non locking screws in the same fragment is rarely indicated, it can be useful to place a screw outside the angular limitations of the locking hole.

coarser threads than head but still finer than cortical screw for max bone screw interface

Standard DCP or round hole plates are held into position by being trapped between the head of the screw and the bone. Tightening the screw pulls the bone up to the plate. When the screw is tight the threads of the screw pull against the bone holding the plate in position. The situation with locking screws and plates is very different. Although the threads of the screw shaft engage the bone, the interface between bone and screw is not related to attachment of the plate. In locking plates and screws it is the interface between the screw head and the plate which attaches the plate to the screw. As the screw is tightened the bone maintains its position relative to the plate, it is not drawn up to it. The screw head engages with the plate. This has a number of implications:

The cutaways underneath the plate are designed to offer low contact between plate and bone when using regular cortical screws. In addition they help create an even resistance to bending for easier contouring and reduced stress concentration at the screw holes. Plate profile on page 284.

Contouring of plates With standard DCPs the plate must be contoured exactly. When the screws are tightened the bone fragments will be pulled towards the plate and assume the contour of the plate. If the plate is not contoured correctly the screws will pull the fragments out of alignment. Using a locking plate and screws once the plate is applied the bone fragments will be held in position relative to one another as is the case with external fixation. Indeed locking plates are sometimes referred to as ‘internal, external fixation’. Locking plates do not therefore require contouring in the same way as DCP type plates. This has particular relevance in the TPLO procedure where contouring the plate is very important and very time consuming. If a standard locking TPLO plate fits all TPLO osteotomies there are significant savings in terms of time and morbidity.

3.5mm LOCKING PLATES

Screw Angulation and Numbers In order to fit and lock into the plate the screw must be inserted at a fixed angle relative to the hole in the plate. Drill guides are provided which screw into the locking holes to ensure that this happens. It is not always desirable that the screws are at 90 degrees to the plate, particularly close to joints. The angle of the screw is dictated by the plate not the surgeon. The rigid attachment of the screw to the plate gives any locking construct a high degree of angular rigidity relative to a DCP construct where a spherical screw head in an oval hole results in a relatively flexibility. This means in any given situation that to achieve the same rigidity as a DCP construct a locking construct needs less screws. Again this has particular implications in terms of time and morbidity. It also offsets, to a degree, the higher costs of locking screws and plates.

Locking 2.7 plates VI locking plates accept perfectly the standard 2.7mm twin start locking screw. Locking plates with combination holes have the disadvantage that the combination hole occupies a lot of space which results in hole spacing being too large. The consequence is that it may not be possible to place the desired number of screws in any bone fragment.

Screw Diameter and Strength The increased angular rigidity places greater stresses onto the screw. Because we are not relying on the threads of the screw in the bone to pull the plate to the bone they do not need to be as coarse as standard cortical screws. They need, only, to hold their position in the bone. Thus for the same outside diameter of screw we can increase the core diameter without increasing the likelyhood of bone/screw interface failure. Increasing the diameter of the core hugely affects the AMI (resistance to bending) of the screw. The AMI of standard 3.5 cortical screws as used in SOP™ is 1.6, the AMI of standard locking screw is 2.6. A SOP™ screw is far more likely to fail than is a standard locking screw. Screw failure is the typical mode of failure of SOP™ constructs. Standard cortical screws are not designed for use as locking screws.

In that situations which demand locking screws and plates rarely need DCP holes the VI locking plate offers only stacked holes which will take both locking and standard cortical screws but will not offer compression. The hole spacing is the same as that of a standard 2.7mm DCP. Plate profile on page 284. LOCKING 2.7 PLATES

Minimally Invasive Plate Osteosynthesis (MIPO) MIPO aims to interfere with the patient’s natural respone to fracture as little as possible while establishing and maintaining stabilisation of the fracture. Locking plates do not need close contouring to the bone, indeed it is not necessary to have contact between the plate and the bone. The periosteum is therefore preserved and the fracture is not disturbed. Additionally the angular stability of locking screws coupled with the need for fewer screws are desirable features in any MIPO procedure. Locking screws were developed for osteoporitic bone where standard DCPs and screws tend to strip out. The bone screw interface is under far less stress using locking technology. This is an important quality in juvenile bone also. Veterinary MIPO candidates tend to be young.

Locking Plate and Screw Set in Premium box

Locking Screws The angular security of locking plate systems depends on a rigid interface between screw and plate. This is acheived either by the use of interlocking threads or by using the morse taper phenomenon as seen in the Fixin system. Threaded systems are the most common. The modulus of bone and stainless steel differs greatly and the ideal screw thread for one will not suit the other. Stainless steel demands fine threads whereas bone needs a relatively coarse thread. If we use a fine thread in the plate and a coarse thread in the bone, when the head of screw engages the plate, the screw moving faster through the bone than the plate would have the effect of pulling the plate towards the bone. This is exactly what we do not want. Some systems compromise by using the same thread in both screw head and bone plate. At Veterinary Instrumentation and in the industry standard locking screw the problem is solved by some ingenious engineering. The threads on the head of our screws are fine as required but have a twin start. The threads taper down the head as a double helix. The pitch (the distance between the tips of the threads) of each individual fine thread is the same as the threads on the bone screw but because of the double helix the number of threads per millimeter of locking thread is double that of the bone screw giving the fine threads required for metal on metal. The screw moves through the bone at the same rate as it moves through the plate maintaining the relative positions of both bone fragment and plate.

The locking plate and screw set contains a wide selection of locking plates and screws as well all the essential instruments required. Available in both 2.7 and 3.5mm. The price is discounted by over 5% compared to the component parts.

There is an additional benefit of the double helix. As the screw head approaches the plate a single start thread may have to wait 360 degree rotation before the threads start to engage. In the 3.5 screw this might mean that the plate is pushed around one millimeter before the head of the screw engages. With a twin start thread the screw head will engage within 180 degrees of contact.

The 3.5 set contains the following: 1 of each plate from 4 to 14 hole 3 of each screw from 12mm to 20mm 4 of each screw from 22mm to 26mm

Where angular security is important and where contouring is difficult Veterinary Instrumentation is creating special plates with locking hole technology. We are starting with TPLO, carpal arthrodesis and supracondylar plates.

Locking Pancarpal Arthrodesis

Cuttable and Cuttable, Malleable (reconstruction) Plates

At the 2009 BVOA scientific meeting there was a lengthy discussion regarding the value of incorporating locking screws into pancarpal constructs. Locking screws add angular security which was generally regarded to be a good thing. The presence of compression holes was also considered to be desirable.

1.5/2.0mm 2.0mm

Aaron Moles (Perth) considers that once the cartilage has been removed the carpus effectively becomes a comminuted fracture and questions whether placing a single screw in a small fragment (the radial carpal bone) is appropriate. All good fun! Veterinary Instrumentation has produced a small number of plates which offer a variety of combinations. Feedback from surgeons is appreciated. All radial carpal bone holes are round.

VCP202427 2.7mm

Veterinary Instrumentation nows offers a comprehensive range of cuttable plates. They are available either as a standard strip of round holes or as a version with notches between the holes for easy contouring. These are described as cuttable malleable or cuttable reconstruction plates. Using standard wire cutters 001236, 001237 or 001228 (page 56) a strip with the desired number of holes can be cut from the length. With care the plate can be cut between holes, although it is easier to cut across a hole.

In this plate all holes are locking and will accept either 3.5 locking (LS35** series) or 2.7 locking with a 3.5 head(LS2735** series).

Cuttable plates may be stacked to double the strength along all or part of the construct. Plates are available in 1.5, 2.0, 2.4 and 2.7mm. Hole spacing is smaller than the equivalent DCP which may be useful where bone fragments are small. The smaller sizes are particularly useful in the repair of metacarpals and metatarsals. Plate profiles on page 286.

This plate is as above but includes two DCP holes above and below the radial carpal bone hole. The above two plates have the same dimensions and hole spacing as 152907XL (see page 285)

The malleable plates may be twisted and bent using parallel action pliers (001290 page 57) and/or wire contouring pliers (001245 page 58) CUTTABLE PLATES

This plate is effectively a double hybrid in tthat includes both locking and DCP hole of two different sizes. Proximal holes are 3.5, distal are 2.7 (2.7 or LS2724** series). LOCKING PANCARPAL ARTHRODESIS 152907XLLS Locking Pancarpal Arthrodesis - All 3.5 locking holes

Locking System Reconstruction plates are designed for easy contouring. However contouring is not easy without dedicated bending pliers. (page 61) Notching between holes facilitates multiplanar bending. Useful for reconstruction of non-load bearing bone. Especially useful in the pelvis. Plate profile on page 286.

Fixin relies on a novel lock between screw and plate. Rather than using threads to link the screw to the plate, the FIXIN system used the well established ‘morse taper’ effect. A tapering cylinder when pushed into an opening having slightly less taper effectively jams very securely. Engineers have used this effect for decades to attach tools to cutting machines. The same principle locks the heads of modular total hip replacement systems onto the femoral shaft. In addition to providing a very secure lock the “morse” offers a 360 degree pick up for the locking mechanism. Standard locking screws having a twin start thread may have to wait for 180 degrees of rotation before the threads engage in the plate. More primitive systems with a single start thread may not engage for 360 degrees. The Fixin system will lock regardless of the position of the screw relative to the plate. The novel screw boss feature of FIXIN plates minimises the stress riser effects of screw holes which means that relatively thin, lightweight plates may be used throughout the system. The Fixin system requires fewer screws and lighter plates than you would normally expect. This is particularly true of osteotomies including TPLO and TTO.

Suture Screw Set Suture screws are a versatile, economic suture anchor. Used together with LigaFiba, suture screws offer a solution to joint stabilisation. Sizes range from 2.0mm up to 4.0mm to cover the full range of patients. Suture screws are now available as a boxed set including 2 of each suture screw (16) together with the new universal introducer which fits all the screws. Applications include: shearing injuries, isometric lateral sutures, medial collateral replacement. Also included in the kit is one of each LigaFiba sterile suture packs:150lb, 250lb & 500lb.

Titanium Screws and plates are very commonly used in man particularly for facio maxillary repairs. The most important benefit in this application is that Titanium does not interfere with MRI scans. Compared to stainless steel Titanium is lighter and much more osteo compatible. The major application in veterinary orthopaedics is in conjunction with the TTA cruciate procedure.

Supracondylar Plates

LOCKING VERSIONS AVAILABLE

DURING 2010

Supracondylar femoral fractures in mature animals can be very difficult to repair. Small fragment size makes placement of sufficient implants a challenge. In medium and large dogs there are often multiple small fragments in the supracondylar area. The forces acting on the distal femur are complex requiring a special plate to neutralise them. The 2.7 and 3.5mm plates were developed by Mark Glyde using finite element analysis.

BHP2008065

Available in a range of sizes and lengths. 2.0, 2.7, 3.5 narrow and 3.5 broad (two lengths). Use bending templates to pre-contour plates.

These plates are designed to bridge a section of shattered long bone. It effectively acts as a buttress plate. No attempt is made to reconstruct. The fracture site is not disturbed to minimise de-vitalisation and contamination. The plate maintains length and permits weight bearing. Use of these plates avoids leaving empty screw holes over the fracture site which significantly weakens the construct. Plates are available in 7 or 8 hole versions. Each type of plate is available in a range of lengths.

SUPRACONDYLAR PLATES

BHP2008065 the cat femur plate is contoured for the average cat femur. Use when proximal and distal sections are intact and the body of the femur is un-reconstructable. If it cannot be reconstructed it is better not to try. See page 283 for all Biological Healing Plate profiles. All holes are round as compression is not required and there is better screw/plate contact with round holes. BIOLOGICAL HEALING PLATES

Cat Pantarsal Arthrodesis Plate (Cranial)

Hybrid Plates

Although requiring a little more dissection a cranially applied plate offers a very effective arthrodesis. Historically our pancarpal plates were bent to 120˚ but we have now developed in colaboration with Noel Fitzpatrick a dedicated cranial plate with holes placed in exaclty the correct positions and machined to allow appropriate screw angulation to secure the talus. The plate is a hybrid having smaller holes distally in a range of sizes.

Pantarsal Arthrodesis Plate (medial)

‘Off the shelf’ we have a 3.5mm plate bent at 135 degrees tapering to 2.7mm holes distally. This plate applied to the medial aspect of the joint fits in most cases. The plate was developed with Malcolm McKee using our experience of producing custom plates. (Vet Record, Vol 154, Issue 6, 165-170). The plate is especially strengthened at the stress point around the talus screw. If this plate is not suitable please send a radiograph or tracing and we will design and make a plate for you. If you are faxing a drawing please draw a line 100mm long prior to transmission. See page 286 for an actual size profile of the 2.7/3.5mm plate. Use a tibio calcaneous position screw to maximise stability.

Available in the new 2.4mm screw size.

This plate is designed to perform arthrodesis to the compromised calcanoquartal (hock) joint which is commonly subject to shearing injuries or fracture dislocations. Proximally the plate will accept 2.7mm screws. Distally the plate will accept either 2.0mm or 1.5mm screws. PANTARSAL ARTHRODESIS PLATE Although requiring more initial dissection than the medial approach, the cranial plate makes alignment easier and does not involve screwing metatarsals to each other. Stability across the talocrural joint is acheived by a screw which pass through the plate and crosses the joint into the calcaneous.

Typically the process involves a discussion with John Lapish regarding design and screw options. Once the design is agreed the manufacture usually takes 2 weeks.

Custom pantarsal arthrodesis plate incorporating a trabecular tantalum implant. Case and photos Toby Gemmill Pancarpal arthrodesis is a regular procedure in veterinary orthopaedics. Standard plates tend to be either too big for the metacarpal or too small for the radius. Our range of hybrid carpal arthrodesis plates tries to give you the best of both worlds. The taper on the distal part of the plate makes closure easier and automatically produces an angle of around 5 degrees. (See page 287 for plate profiles.) Some surgeons prefer greater coverage of the metacarpals than is offered by our standard plates. We now offer an extra long plate which is designed to give over 50% coverage of the metacarpal segment.

Cerclage wire is an extremely useful method of fragment fixation. Use as thick a wire as seems possible. Twist evenly under tension. The best instrument is our wire twister/cutter 001260 see page 59. Minimise wire movement on periosteum. Tension wire banding should be performed where muscular forces must be transferred beyond a fracture or osteotomy, e.g. Tibial crest avulsion or trochanteric osteotomy. 1.0mm wire is the most useful. All are supplied in 10 metre rolls.

Webb Bolt

Use to prevent sutures from ‘cheese wiring’ through bone, e.g. at hip toggle. Made from 1020 Medical Grade UHMWPE.

Use where lag screw strips out. Supplied as a threaded rod, two nuts and two washers. Pre-measure and cut to length or crop after procedure. Saw cut or bolt cutting will prevent loosening of the nut on the cut side. Run a fine nylon suture through the nut prior to attachment to create a locking effect.

Ruler with Radio Opaque 1.0mm scale

While digital radiography has huge benefits it can be difficult to scale images. The problem is compounded when prints are made for viewing by a third party. e.g. BVA/KC Elbow Dysplasia Scheme where accurate measurements down to 2mm are very important. The new ruler is 120mm long and graduated in 1.0mm increments. Placed at the level of the bone or joint under investigation at the time of radiography it will enable accurate scaling of lesions. Also available in 500mm length. Reduced visibility over 70 kV 16mAs.

A cortical nut manufactured from implant grade nylon gives the screw purchase allowing normal tightening. The thread form is designed to grip the screw to minimise ‘backing out'. Available in 2.7mm, 3.5mm and 4.5mm cortical thread forms. Supplied as a single sterile pack. The 4.5 nut is also available in stainless steel. CORTICAL NUTS CN27

Unless a bone drill is driven at 90 degrees to the bone surface there is a tendency for the drill to ‘skid’ over the bone surface placing the hole inappropriately. The anti-skid drill has a special tip to bite into the bone at virtually any useful angle, accurately predetermining the hole position.

Drill Bits - Soft Made from DIN 58812 stainless steel (the same as implants). The drill bits are compatible with all current plating systems. Replace drill every ten holes. Blunt drills cause heat necrosis. Cheap but do not last long.

For maximum control over the alignment of bone tunnels use of cannulated drills is preferred. A fine guide wire is drilled through where the bone tunnel or screw hole is required. Only when the surgeon is satisfied that the guide wire is correctly positioned is the drill driven along the wire to create the hole. The guide wire can be repositioned if necessary without causing undue trauma to the bone. Available for Jacobs chuck or AO Quickfit. CANNULATED DRILLS H090112CAN

Bone Pin Tubes

Simple, cheap and often the best technique for the repair of long bones. I/M pinning does not resist compression and rotation very effectively. It may be helpful to add an external fixator for two weeks if in any doubt. Smooth pins are most likely to migrate. The threaded pins are negatively cut and do reduce backing out particularly if the distal fragment is small.

BONE PIN TUBES

Our Trochar tips are designed to cut bone but care must be exercised to avoid heat necrosis during insertion. Can be cut in half to produce cheap ESF pins. Most pin chucks will only take 1/4" pins.* Do not purchase a 5/16” pin unless you have a chuck to insert it. Use 1.0mm wire minimum as a cerclage.

Threaded Pins and Wires

Arthrodesis Wire

Threaded wires have a much greater pull out resistance than smooth wires. They are very easy to insert using standard drills fitted with Jacobs chucks or wire drivers. Although having only trochar tips they will self tap in all but the hardest of cortical bone. Driven across fragments threaded wires act as mini position screws which can be cut off flush to the bone surface or buried. It may be possible to place several threaded wires at angles to each other in a relatively small area. Available in coarse or fine thread pitches. Use the coarse in cancellous or metaphyseal bone.

Coarse Threaded Small Fragment Pins

Rather like small intra-medullary pins, arthrodesis wires have trochar points at each end. They are used for the fixation of small bone fragments, produced either electively or as a result of trauma, e.g. distal femoral fractures, tibial crest transplants and femoral neck fractures. (5", 125mm). Supplied in packs of ten. ARTHRODESIS WIRE Trochar Pointed at both ends. PACK OF 10 (5”, 125mm length) 090054 090020

Interlocking Nail System Interlocking nails are a refinement of the original Kuntscher Nail. An interlocking nail is basically an intra-medullary pin secured in position by proximal and distal transfixing screws which engage the bone to the nail to provide axial, bending and torsional stability.

001362 ‘K’ Wire Bender

In comminuted long bone fractures, the Interlocking Nail System is useful due to the mechanical advantage of medullary implantation (i.e. mechanical axis) and prevention of collapse of the fracture by the interlocking effect. Ancillary cerclage wires reduce periosteal stripping and minimise disturbance to blood supply compared to plating.

ReproBone Bone Substitutes

We also maintain stocks of additional drill bits and taps - please phone for information.

The addition of osteoconductive bioceramic hydroxyapatite to an orthopaedic site can significantly decrease healing times. ReproBone is available as two presentations. NanoPaste. The sterile presentation is an aqueous paste supplied in a syringe (2.5ml or 5.0ml). The paste may be injected directly into a defect where it conforms to fill the space. The paste is readily colonised by bone cells and acts as a scaffold encouraging penetration of host bone. The putty-like consistency means that the paste may be pressed onto bone where it sticks until resorbed. NanoPaste is very similar to Ostim which has an established clinical record. Applications include: joint arthrodesis, TTA, non unions, delayed unions and filling spine cages.

IN1168SET

NanoPaste and TTA Use to save time harvesting autograft or when the quality of the autograft is poor. ReproBone will extend autograft. NanoPaste may be injected directly into the defect where it conforms to the defect shape. Nano HA paste conforms to ENISO 13779-1:200 and ASTM F1185-88 for medical grade HA.

TOTAL HIP REPLACEMENT

HELICA

CEMENTLESS HIP SYSTEM The outer surface of the acetabular cup is threaded for rapid screw in insertion. Revision cups for other systems available.

Modular, cementless, screw in total hip replacement

Both femoral and acetabular components screw into position allowing immediate loading. The surface finish of the titanium components encourages rapid osteointegration. Flexibility is achieved by: 6 stem sizes 3 neck lengths 4 acetabular cup sizes Once the implantation sites have been prepared the implants self tap into position.

Only the articular surface of the femoral head is removed, retaining the maximum amount of bone stock to support the femoral prosthesis which screws into place. Although, perhaps, counter intuitive the small stem in the proximal femur loads at least as well as long stemmed prostheses.

The Helica system of Total Hip Replacement is unique in a number of respects. Most cementless systems rely on a ‘press fit’ for at least one implant component. Creation of the site for the component is critical and technically demanding or the component will not lock into position. In addition press fit components are vulnerable until osseous integration develops or several weeks (if it happens at all). In man this is less of an issue in that the patient can strictly control the stress placed on the new hip. We have much less control over our canine patients during this critical phase.

6 stem sizes

Both Helica compents screw into position giving post operative security during the phase of oseous integration. The cup is not only fixed very rigidly but can be re-positioned intra-operatively should it be required without losing any security. The Helica cup may be used with all other leading brands of stems to create a hybrid system with maximum cup security.

4 cup sizes

The stem is a short prosthesis located entirely in the proximal femur. Only the articular surface is removed during implantation retaining the maximum bone stock.

3 neck lengths

Advantages Short surgery time Minimally invasive Cementless technique Screw in implants Immediately loadable Cost effective

The surface of both acetabular shell and femoral stem are treated to maximise osteointegration of implants.

To maximise the contact between the stem collar and the femoral neck the osteotomy is milled to bring the femoral osteotomy to 90 degrees to the axis of the femoral neck.

HELICA Surgical Technique Pre-operative assessment and planning gives the predicted size of cup, stem and head/neck.

The face milling tool consists of a milling plate and a guide pin which matches the final drill diameter.

The acetabulum is prepared by reaming with progressively larger and larger reamers finishing with the prediucted size.

The self tapping Helica stem is driven into the preprepared axial hole. Back out the stem a quarter turn for each full turn.

Using the insertion T grip and alignment aid the threaded shell for the acetabulum is positioned ready for insertion. The threads on the shell are self tapping and are firmly screwed into position. After assessment the shell may be re-positioned if necessary

Insertion is complete when the collar of the implant sits snugly on the stump of the femoral neck.

The cup inlay is a click fit into the acetabular shell. Insertion is accomplished using an insertion tool. The rim of the inlay should sit flush with the shell margin.

The resection of the femoral head is made just proximal to the bone-cartilage interface. The resection is made perpendicular to the femoral neck. The face of the osteotomy will be milled at a later stage to ensure that the bed for the femoral component is aligned correctly. The osteotomy is facilitated by use of the Helica hohman to lift the femoral head.

After trialling the appropriate femoral head is locked onto the femoral neck. The interface is a very secure morse taper.

Correct positioning of the implants is confirmed by radiography.

The femoral component must be inserted along the axis of the femoral neck. It is important to spend time establishing the correct axis. A CCD angle of 145 to 147 degrees is desireable

This surgical guide is included to give an over view of the technique. Surgeons contemplating use of the Helica system must attend a recognised training course.

The axis is determined in part by eye but aided by a goniometer. The axis is established initially by a K wire which is progressively opened using larger and larger drills. The final drill used is the pilot drill for the predicted femoral component. 147

Acetabular Cups

The modular format gives four different femur combinations. Two stem sizes are available. The taper neck is the same on both. Two ball options are available, the ball diameter is 15mm in both cases. The “short neck” ball when fitted to the standard taper neck gives a short necked prosthesis and the “long neck” ball gives a long necked prosthesis. When combined with the two acetabular cups a total of 8 combinations are possible. The most common combination is a small stem and long neck ball together with a small acetabular cup.

Two sizes are available. The internal diameter is the same, as all the heads of the femoral components are 15mm in diameter. The only difference between the cups is the wall thickness and therefore the outside diameter. All cups are marked with stainless rings to establish cup position on radiographs. Cups have very deep grooves on the external diameter to provide good cement keying. Supplied Sterile. ACETABULAR CUPS

The surgeon most familiar with the system is Hamish Denny FRCVS, who helped develop the system and has performed over 200 procedures. He also produced the instructional DVD which is available on free loan. This is not a ‘high tech’ system which requires a mass of dedicated instrumentation and jigs. It is a simple, well proven system which assumes that the surgeon has the knowledge and expertise to complete the procedure.

The aim of the femoral rasp is to produce a hole the same shape as the stem of the femoral prosthesis plus a margin for the bone cement. The femoral rasp can create seating for both stems in that both stems have a similar profile distally and differ only in the proximal area. To create a seating for the large stem simply make a deeper hole.

Our family of foreign body retrieval forceps has grown! We now offer a range of forceps to cover every eventuality from a bone in the oesophagus of a large dog to a grass seed in a cat trachea. The forceps may be guided by rigid or flexible endoscopes or fluoroscopy. In exceptional cases retrieval may be achieved by ‘feel’. It is helpful to inflate the oesophagus prior to withdrawal of spiky objects. Video of Alasdair Hotson-Moore of Bristol University locating and retrieving a bone body may be viewed at www.vetinst.com/videos The teeth face backwards for maximum grip. When closed the jaws are atraumatic for minimal damage to the oesophagus or trachea. The “One day you will need these” reflects our experience of desperate phone calls which end in us sending a pair of foreign body forceps by same day courier at great expense. • Backward facing teeth for maximum grip • Jaws are externally atraumatic

www.vetinst.com Foreign body oesophascope

The oesophascope allows the surgeon to see the foreign body and is large enough to ease the bone back out through the mouth. Without a large tube the bone traumatises the oesphagus as it is withdrawn. Two versions are available: Basic. Simply a long tube with an atraumatic lip at the mouth. Using this version either an external light source must be shone down the tube or a fiber optic or LED light source must be passed down to illuminate the foreign body. Fibre Optic. In this version the lip at the mouth of the oesophascope includes fibre optics to allow direct illumination of the problem. The oesophascope may be connected to your existing endoscopic light source by means of a fibre optic cable (Storz or Wolf fitting). Alternatively an LED light handle may be attached making the oesophascope free of cabling. Each version of the Oesophascope is available as a boxed set of three instruments plus a cleaning brush. 1. 29mm x 450mm long 2. 29mm x 300mm long 3. 20mm x 300mm long The LED light handle is supplied with a Storz fitting and may also be used to illuminate arthroscopes, laparoscopes and rhinoscopes. Adaptors are available for other light fittings. OESOPHASCOPE OESSETB

The flexible probe is taped along the length of the selected foreign body forceps leaving the LED lights and the camera lens just behind the jaws. The forceps are then directed using the image in the monitor.

Once the diagnosis of oesophageal foreign body has been made it is a challenge to see and grasp the bone prior to withdrawal or pushing into the stomach. The lining of the oesophagus is usually traumatised and friable. Repeated ‘blind’ attempts are likely to end in tragedy even if the foreign body is retrieved. The flexible camera with incorporated LED light source enables the surgeon to direct the foreign body forceps into position and grab the bone ready for retrieval. The image is viewed on a bright 50mm x 35mm monitor. Alternatively the video output may be fed into a standard monitor or computer for viewing or image capture.

The camera allows you to see exactly what you are doing so that you can lock onto the bone rather than damage the oesophageal wall.

To further minimise trauma to the oesophagus the Flexible LED Camera should be used in conjunction with the Oesophascope.

Used exclusively in the surgical treatment of hepatic shunts the ameroid constrictor gradually occludes the blood vessel in question allowing the circulation to make adjustments. The clay layer expands as it absorbs water constricting the blood vessel within. Supplied sterile. Insertion of metal locking key prevents constrictor from slipping from blood vessel. Selection of Ameroid constrictor. Once the portosystemic shunt has been identified and exposed it s suggested that a constrictor should be selected which initially encloses the vessel but does not constrict it (Tobias 2009)

Placement of an oesophagostomy tube is a regular requirement in veterinary practice. Good indications include head trauma, anorexia through illness or nutrition of trauma patients. It is not performed as often as it should because of perceived difficulties in the surgical procedure. The Aesculap Oesophagostomy Set is supplied as an instrument and instructional pack to simplify the procedure

Small Animal Nasogastric Feeding Tube

Designed and developed by Dr Von Werthern the kit simplifies the placement of an oesophagostomy tube. The probe locates the correct position for the incision. Cutting onto the probe simplifies the oesophagostomy. The channel in the probe directs the oesophagostomy tube down the oesophagus. The tube is marked to indicate depth and has a radio opaque line along its length to enable the surgeon to check positioning. The tube is 50cm long and 4.8mm/CH.15 in diameter and supplied in individual sterile packs. The cap is a two part device allowing administration of food via a cather mount syringe and other medications via a standard luer syringe. Supplied with full instructions and a procedural video. The kit comprises the introducer and 10 osophagostomy tubes. The video may be viewed at www.vetinst.com/videos

These small animal feeding tubes are useful in longer term nasogastric nutritional support. Transparent plasic. Rounded closed tip with two opposing lateral eyes. Luer syringe connector with attached plug. Supplied sterile in packs of 5.

Tracheostomy Tube

Airway Surgery Soft Palate Clamp

Where temporary or permanent upper airway obstruction occurs placement of a tracheostomy tube is a life saving procedure. Our tubes are silver plated with a removable lining for easier cleaning.

An overlong palate is a common cause of dyspnoea in the brachiocephalic dog. Shortening the soft palate in an atraumatic manner provides almost immediate relief.

Metal tubes have a much thinner wall than plastic tubes. This becomes particularly critical in smaller patients.

The Soft Palate Clamp was designed by Geoff Lane FRCVS.

AbsorbENT™ Ear Wick Ear wicks have been around for a long time in human medicine. AbsorbENT™ Ear Wick is designed as an aid in the treatment of Otitis Eterna. When liquid medication (antibiotic or corticosteroid) is applied to the sterile, compressed sponge, it gently and evenly expands to fill the ear canal, dispersing the medication and applying gentle pressure to the tissue. Available in 2 lengths, in packs of 10.

The sclerotic bone around the auditory meatus of the diseased ear is some of the hardest found in the body. Total canal ablation (TCA) requires that the rim of the meatus is nibbled away to ensure that all skin is removed. The bulla rongeurs have a small bite (3mm) but are relatively heavy in construction. The compound action allows the appropriate force to be applied without undue effort on the part of the surgeon.

It is very important to clamp and crush the optic nerve and internal opthalmic artery and vein. The curvature on standard artery forceps are not correct and if used the handles stand up in the way. The enucleation forceps are designed to slide around the rear of the globe and capture the blood vessels. The jaws are then levered against the edge of the orbit to elevate the globe for ease of tying. The handles curve out of the way. Use with eye enucleation scissors page 167. The large size is for cattle.

Heine HR-C 2.5x Binocular Loupes

German optics are the best. Being able to see exactly what you are doing is half the battle with micro-surgery. Each eyepiece contains a number of lenses which means that a high magnification of the operating field is possible while maintaining normal position of the head relative to the patient, i.e. a focal distance of between 340 to 420mm. There are a number of variables to think about.

(1)

• Magnification. 4X is as high as one should go. 2.5X is the most common. • Working Distance. Choose between 340mm and 420mm whatever is normal for you. • Spectacle type frame (you can fit your own prescription lenses) or head band.

OPHTHALMIC

Head-worn Loupe LC Loupe clip with binocular loupe component for stereoscopic near vision, for attachment to most prescription glasses. The head-worn Loupe LC is suitable for situations requiring a low magnification. The user's hands remain free to perform whatever task is required. Angled gripping surfaces make it easy for the user to attach the clip without having to remove his/her glasses. Non-slip caps on the peg prevent scratching of spectacle lenses. The height and tilt of the loupe components can be adjusted as required.

The name Carl Zeiss is synonymous with excellent optics. Carl Zeiss produce the best binoculars, camera lenses and medical loupes and magnifiers. Veterinary Instrumentation is very pleased to add Carl Zeiss products to its surgical range. Included in this section is a selection of Carl Zeiss products from simple magnifiers to sophisticated loupes which are acknowledged to be the best in the world. For those using prescription spectacles we offer an in house fitting service.

Although reasonably priced the downside of simple loupes is that as the magnification increases the working distance decreases which can be quite distracting. The head-worn Loupe LC is supplied in a plastic box and is available with the powers 4 D or 6 D. The binocular loupe components are easy to change and can also be used on the head-worn Loupe L.

Head-worn Loupe KF Titanium

Head-worn loupe with binocular loupe component for stereoscopic near vision, also suitable for spectacle wearers. The head-worn Loupe L is suitable for situations where low magnifications are sufficient. The user's hands remain free to perform whatever task is required. The vertically adjustable visor with lateral shielding prevents stray light from impairing the wearer's vision and can be easily swung out of the field of view, if required.

The head-worn Loupe KF Titanium is used for binocular, stereoscopic near vision in medicine and technology. The teleloupe system features a Kepler design and is mounted on the system carrier KF Titanium, a frame with straight sides and an elastic headband. The optical system is available in various magnifications and working distances, and the system carrier in various frame sizes. High-eyepoint eyepieces for spectacle wearers allow the system to be worn in front of the frame, which can be glazed with lenses of any prescription.

Although reasonably priced the downside of simple loupes is that as the magnification increases the working distance decreases which can be quite distracting. To enhance wearing comfort, the headband is fitted with an exchangeable textile pad. A spare pad is included with the loupe on delivery. The elastic rear headband can be set to whatever length is needed. The head-worn Loupe L is available with the powers 4 D or 6 D. The binocular loupe components are easy to change and can also be used on the head-worn Loupe LC.

The vertical positioning and inclination of the teleloupe system K relative to the eyes are performed via the connecting component of the system carrier.

Weight 110g. Available as:

The PD is set via the folding bridge of the system. If required, the teleloupe system K can be swung out of the field of view and then returned to the work position. The screw-on lens protection device - a standard component in the delivery package of the teleloupe system K - protects the optical systems from splashes.

Finhoff Transilluminator Heine For scleral transillumination.

TonoVet TonoVet is based on a new ‘induction impact principle’, where an ultra light probe touches the cornea very gently. As such, no topical anaesthetic is required. Usually the animal does not even notice so sedation is seldom needed. The clear benefit compared to the ‘pen’ type tonometer is TonoVet’s low force on the eye. The probe weight is a mere 26.5mg with a contact time of 0.3 millisecs. The ‘pen’ type probe actually bends the cornea.

FINHOFF TRANSILLUMINATOR HEINE

In practical terms this means that intra-occular pressure can be measured by the Tonovet within an hour of surgery. With ‘pen’ types you have to wait 4 to 5 hours.

DENTAL MACHINES

Air Driven Dental Units

Air Driven Dental Units

To obtain the truly high speeds required for drilling and burring an air driven dental unit is necessary. Veterinary Instrumentation can supply two levels of air driven dental machines. The Midmark VetProTM 1000 is state of the art with exclusive oil-free technology, whilst the Veterinary Instrumentation Minicart is a straightfroward unit containing all the essentials of an air driven dental machine. Both are offered as a complete set up for cutting and polishing but can be modified by the addition of further handpieces and accessories.

Veterinary Instrumentation is very pleased to have been appointed exclusive UK distributor for Midmark. The Midmark family also includes the Matrx range of Anaesthesia machines and Cardell monitors. With over 90 years of healthcare manufacturing and clinical use experience, Midmark are recognised as leaders in veterinary dentistry, anaesthesia and monitoring.

VETERINARY DENTISTRY Veterinary dentistry, in many practices remains an unglamorous cousin to ‘real’ veterinary surgery. In fact good dental health contributes hugely to any pet’s well being. Veterinary dentistry should also be making a significant contribution to the well being of any practice. Dentistry is one of the few areas where there is potential for expansion. A brief examination of the mouth of most pets will reveal teeth which need attention. Owners are very familiar with the concept of routine check ups and dental work.

VetProTM 1000

Dental equipment is not hugely expensive when compared to much other capital equipment and unlike many other practice investments dental equipment quickly pays for itself. As a minimum every practice should have an ultrasonic scaler and polisher. Scaling without polishing is generally regarded as bad practice. There is, however, more to dentistry than scaling and polishing and most practices wishing to offer a full service will want to invest in a more sophisticated machine. Until recently only air driven machines were able to offer speeds high enough to drive the high speed burs necessary for removing fractures roots and cutting teeth. On page 179 we are offering an all electric NSK machine which can do everything an air driven machine can. Within this section of the catalogue you will find a range of dental equipment from a simple piezo ultrasonic scaler to the new fully featured Midmark machine.

Some dental units are supplied with integrated suction driven by the venturi effect using compressed air. In our experience this type of suction is very hungry on air necessitating a large, expensive compressor. In addition the nature of the suction tubes of venturi type are difficult to clean and sterilise. Stand alone suction units are inexpensive and much more efficient plus they can be used elsewhere in the clinic. See chapter 21 page 249.

Low Speed Motor

1:1 Attachment and Contra Angle (Latch) Head The 1:1 attachment pushes directly onto the low speed motor and transmits actual motor speed to the head fitting (it has a blue band). The head may be either a prophy head (P465)or a contra angle (right angle) head.

Running with low speed (20,000 rpm) and high torque, this motor is used to drive several dental accessories e.g. straight nose cone, prophy heads and the latch head. The motor has forward and reverse, controlled by a collar near the motor base. The accessories listed will also fit directly onto electric drive micromotors such as the Nouvag NM300 see page 179.

The contra angle head offers a higher torque than the high speed. The speed is limited to 25,000rpm. A range of contra burs is available as bur kit D752. Use RA prefix when ordering packs of burs. See page 183

Running with high speed and low torque this handpiece is designed to remove tooth or bone as part of extraction or repair techniques. Use of Roto Pro burs (see page 182) allows the high speed to be used as an ultrasonic scaler for tartar removal. Only Friction Grip (FG) burs fit the high speed. Fine water jets cool the bur. The fibre optic version illuminates the operative area with a brilliant cold light. The Midmark handpieces have 6 month warranty. Use FG as prefix when ordering burs.

The 4:1 attachment gears down the low speed motor by 4 times, this should be set to 6000rpm. It offers very high torque which is the best speed for polishing teeth. It has a green band and is used to drive prophy heads. We recommend the screw-on type prophy cups. Prophy cups are used in conjunction with abrasive prophy paste to polish teeth following scaling. Failure to polish will result in a rapid build up of new plaque.

Widely used but has some problems in veterinary dentistry. Muzzle hair becomes caught behind the ‘button’ and when combined with prophy paste quickly degrades the head.

The LED High Speed represents a huge step forward in dental handpiece technology. Up until now illuminated handpieces have been both inefficient & unreliable. In addition they required complex, fragile wiring and power supply. The self generating LED does away with all the wiring and comes with a 12 month warranty. The low voltage power required by the LED is generated by the turbine as it spins.

Options Rabbit Option

Developed for human dentistry to combat the risk of HIV the disposable prophy head is surprisingly cheap and minimises the risk of FeLV and FIV transmission. The oscillating action means there is no heat build-up on the tooth surface and ‘snagging’ on muzzle hair is minimal. Available in packs of 25 or 100. The oscillating disposable prophy fits onto the straight nose cone to achieve the correct running speed. Use 4:1 nose cone with air equipment which takes the speed down to a maximum of 6,000rpm. Electrical micromotors can use the 1:1 nose cone provided the maximum speed is adjusted down to 6,000rpm. Use coarse prophy paste for best results. OSCILLATING PROPHY HEAD SEMI DISPOSABLE IM3L7465S

Prophy Paste Prophy paste is an abrasive polishing compound used in conjunction with prophy cups and brushes to create a highly polished enamel surface which is resistant to tartar build up. Use regular paste for rotating cups and coarse paste for oscillating prophy heads.

Rasping is a very inefficient method of levelling rabbit and rodent molars. The best method is the use of side cutting burs. Our rabbit bur kit includes two of each of the most useful handpiece burs which fit the 1:1 straight nose cone. They are housed in a custom made stainless block which also has holes for your favourite friction grip burs for the high speed. To minimise damage to the cheek and tongue, a soft tissue protector is highly recommended. The soft tissue protector and burs were developed by David Crossley.

Introduction

Piezo Scaler with detachable, autoclavable handpiece

It is possible to scale and polish using only hand instruments. It is, however, extremely time consuming. Teeth must be polished after scaling or plaque and tartar will quickly reform.

UDS-P

Ultrasonic Scalers Ultrasonic scalers work by delivering high frequency vibrations to a metal tip. The vibration may be generated by a variety of mechanisms: • Sonic. The tip is vibrated using air from the compressor. The action is very gentle but very slow with cost and anaesthesia implications. • Magneto restrictive (cavitron type). The tip is vibrated by multiple layered metal strips and a magnetic field. Typically their type generates a lot of heat which requires a lot of cooling water. 35-38000Hz.

Supplied with G1 x 2, G2, G4 & P1 tips The UDS-P scaler has a detachable autoclavable handpiece. This means that handpieces can be switched between patients or at least regularly sterilised. Alternatively different piezo tips can be fitted to different handpieces.

• Piezo. The movement at the tip is generated by applying a current across a crystal. Typically uses less water. • Ferrite Rod. The tip movement is generated by an electrical field around a ferrite rod. This system is capable of producing higher frequencies up to 42,000Hz.

This scaler also features automatic frequency tracking with an LED output display.

Veterinary Instrumentation stock Piezo and Ferrite Rod types (iM3 42-12). We think these are most appropriate for veterinary use.

CLS

iM3 Dentistry

• • • •

iM3 is an exclusively veterinary dental equipment company. iM3 understands the special requirements of veterinary dentists and has produced a range of products to meet these requirements. Reliability and quality of construction are key features. iM3 units are designed to last and last. Older units can be upgraded to current specification. Most specialist teachers recommend iM3.

Freshens mouth Disinfects mouth & machine Improves bur cutting Minimises cross contamination with FeLV & FIV

Used in the water system of dental units CLS freshens and sterilises the mouth. When used as coolant for high speed handpieces cutting efficiency is improved. It prevents transfer of FeLV and it can also be flushed through the air turbines to sterilise and lubricate them using the iM3 CLS flushing system.

iM3 42-12 Ultrasonic Scaler

The unique composition of CLS allows use of chlorhexidine in all dental equipment. Standard chlorhexidine crystallises out from solution and will damage your equipment. Do not use regular chlorhexidine in dental units as it will crystallise out in the handpieces rendering them inoperative. Purchase of the larger pack sizes gives significant savings.

Plaque Disclosing Solution

The 42-12 is unlike any other ultrasonic scaler. All other ultrasonic scalers work on the ‘jack hammer' or scraping movement of the scaler tip. They need to remain sharp and scrape the tooth through the movement of the tip. They also generate a lot of heat and in many instances are unsuitable for subgingival scaling because of this. The 42-12 works in a similar fashion to a water bath instrument cleaner, where the high frequency ultrasonic sound lifts the plaque and calculus, the circular motion of the tip moves and dislodges loosened debris, which is washed away by the water. The extremely high frequency, 42,000Hz, and the small tip amplitude (0.02mm) all contribute to safer, quicker, less traumatic and more effective scaling. The shaft of the tip is totally round, made from titanium and has no fixed scaling position; it scales anywhere within 360 degrees. The shaft touches the tooth with as much of its length on the tooth as possible and is wiped back and forth without pressure, as though you are painting the tooth with a paint brush. More pressure does not improve the scaling. The 42-12 represents the cutting edge of ultrasonic scaler technology today, giving less enamel damage and scaling taking half the time. The capsule around virus or bacteria will be shattered by the ultrasonic sound within 1-2 mm of the tip in subgingival pockets. There is no foot switch but a sliding on/off switch on the handpiece. The water supply plugs directly into any iM3 dental unit or pump-up water bottle.

Many owners are very aware of the need for scaling and polishing on a regular basis. However, should any convincing be necessary the ‘iC Plaque disclosure’ is ideal for the purpose. Simply swab around the mouth with the convenient dispenser and the plaque shows up as a vivid pink. PLAQUE DISCLOSING SOLUTION

DENTAL HAND INSTRUMENTS

www.vetinst.com Winged Elevators

Wedge Elevator Designed to remove the Upper Premolar IV (the carnassial) without the need to split the tooth. The tooth roots are elevated in the usual manner using carnivore elevators or luxators. The tip of the wedge is drilled through between rostral and posterior roots. The blade of the instrument is then worked under the tooth. As the width of the blade increases the tooth is forced from the alveolus. The triangular cross section of the blade supports the structure of the tooth during extraction.

Veterinary elevators designed by Dr Robert Wiggs. They have short winged blades with lateral edges which curve upwards further than traditional elevators, improving conformation to the root structure as well as instrument control. The narrow neck enhances visibility of the root and the shorter shaft improves handling and control, especially if the operator’s hands are not large. The design incorporates the best parts of an elevator and a luxator. Aluminium knurled handles are very comfortable in use. Flattened surface prevents rolling off the table. Available as a boxed set.

Carnivore Elevator Removal of the teeth of dogs and cats requires rupture of the periodontal ligament. In relatively healthy roots rupture is very difficult, requiring great force. Rupture (and therefore extraction) is best achieved by forcing an elevator or luxator into the periodontal space. In the dog and cat the space is very narrow, quite different to the human situation. Our carnivore elevators are thin and very sharp.

Molt Periosteal Elevator 2/4 (4mm/6mm)

Molt is a double ended periosteal elevator often recommended by dental experts. The two tips are round and dished. 4mm and 6mm diameters.

Luxators Luxators, which are in essence very slim elevators, are favoured by many veterinary dentists for the rupture of the periodontal ligament. They are, in fact, designed for the human tooth but are very good for veterinary use. A veterinary set is now available containing the most useful luxators for feline and canine teeth: 1mm straight, 2mm straight, 3mm curved, 3mm straight, 3mm contra angle plus a sharpening tool. Swedish made, these Luxators are very thin and very sharp.

Tartar Forceps These tartar forceps are designed specifically for the removal of bulky tartar prior to scaling and polishing. One jaw is cup shaped to locate onto the tooth tip and act as a fulcrum for the other jaw. The other jaw is a sharp hook to engage the tartar at the gum margin. The jaws are designed to remove tartar from both flat surfaces and between teeth.

Removal of fragmented roots can be a challenge particularly if the roots themselves are healthy. A combination of elevation and forcep work is usually required. The set of three forceps with differing jaw angles covers all situations. The handles are anatomical and ergonomic. ROOT FRAGMENT SET Root Fragment Set (3 forceps)

Hawksbill Forceps

The multi-rooted teeth of the dog and cat should be loose before extraction by forceps. The loosening may be due to dental disease or careful elevation. As well as firmly gripping the tooth to be extracted appropriate dental forceps should support the tooth structure. None of the several hundred human forceps available suit the teeth of our patients. The Hawksbill forceps are designed specifically for the extraction of multi-rooted teeth in the dog and cat. The lip retractor solves the problem of retracting the lip for clear access to the teeth. It has a new modified shape to prevent pinching the lip and the tips of the instrument are plastic coated to minimise trauma. It can be adjusted by lightly bending. 6.5" long and autoclavable.

Feline Model Canine Model

These new clear dental models take the guesswork out of veterinary dentistry! By allowing you to observe the tooth and root patterns of a typical feline jaw, these hinged models let you demonstrate to your clients why a procedure is necessary and what will be involved.

This new dental model is in the same style as the popular Feline and Canine models released last year. The clear hinged model allows you to observe the tooth and root patterns of a typical Leporida. 2 education cards are also included, one which indicates the location of the Nasolacrimal duct, whilst the second helps you identify which approach to take and the instruments required.

Also included with the jaw is an education card. This valuable card helps you easily identify which approach to take and the instruments needed to precisely section and excise teeth by comparing the patient to the model and card, saving you valuable time under anaesthetic. The models show the roots of all teeth (incisors, canine, premolars, molars) and can be opened for better observation.

A very useful aid for this increasingly popular pet.

Table Top Rodent Gag

LED Light For Table Top Gag

Illumination of the inside of the rabbit mouth is difficult without the hands of the surgeon getting in the way. The Rabbit gag LED light simply clips into the retaining mount which screws onto the threaded height adjustment control. The flexible neck of the light can be adjusted for best effect. The powerful white LED lasts for approximately 100 hours on a set of AA batteries. Also useful as a focal examination light elsewhere in the clinic.

Allows mouth to be held open in an appropriate position without assistance. The platform tilts allowing best positioning for surgeon and available lighting. It works even if incisors have been removed. Use the highest setting for rabbits.

Fits all table top gags. LED LIGHT FOR TABLE TOP GAG

This autoclavable motor attachment fits all micromotors (air or electric drive). The reciprocating action makes it ideal as a motor rasp in rabbits using the diamond blade or as a micro-surgical saw using the small blades.

Three burs have been selected by David Crossley as being suitable for the reduction of rabbit and chinchilla molar teeth. Our rabbit bur kit includes two of each bur in a stainless steel autoclavable block. All are HP fitting to fit into the straight nose cone (not included). When using the long bur (HL563) use the soft tissue protector to shield tongue and cheek. The diamond version of the very long cross cut bur cuts with less trauma and less heat than the carbide equivalent.

Antibiotic Impregnated Polymethacrylate Beads (AIPMMA) Management of chronic local infections may benefit from the insertion of antibiotic impregnated polymethacrylate (AIPMMA) beads. The beads are manufactured from sterile bone cement with the addition of appropriate antibiotic. Indications include osteomyelitis and abcessation in the rabbit. Veterinary Instrumentation offers two kits for the preparation of AIPMMA beads. One kit uses cement with no antibiotic; choice of antibiotic will depend upon bacteriology and sensitivity. The other kit uses cement containing gentamycin which is the preferred choice of antibiotic for many infections but is toxic when administered parenterally. Both kits contain sufficient material for approximately 100 beads. Full instructions are included.

Designed to facilitate extraction of molars with a minumum of damage to the alveolus and surrounding soft tissue. One cutting blade is for insertion down buccal or lingual surface. The other end of the instrument is set at right angles to penetrate between molars. CROSSLEY MOLAR LUXATOR 012197M

Bone Marrow Biopsy - Jamshidi Type

BMBJV18A

Designed as a cost effective version of the Baxter needles (below left), takes both marrow and core samples. Drive into a suitable site (wing of ilium, tuber ischium, proximal femur), pull back a little, withdraw stylet and aspirate. If there is no aspirate, replace stylet, push in further and repeat. Manufactured to our specification, these needles represent excellent value.

In the Jamshidi type needle the integral stylet locks into the lumen of the needle preventing obstruction by debris. When the needle tip is in the desired location the stylet is removed and the sample aspirated. The 11 gauge needle with the stylet removed may be used to take a 1.5mm approx. core of bone from tumours for typing (see also bone trephines).

Veterinary Instrumentation's no quibble lifetime guarantee means that you can purchase instruments in the full confidence that they will not let you down. The instruments will be replaced free of charge in the event of breaking due to faulty workmanship. Wear, e.g. in needleholders, is not covered. Veterinary Instrumentation’s range of general surgical instruments is selected as being the most appropriate for routine surgical procedures. If you do not see what you want we can source it for you. Please phone, fax or email the usual contacts.

Having a long jaw this forcep is rather like a Rochester Pean but the tips are toothed for added security.

Fat Pad Retractor Light

Visualisation of the medial meniscus is maximised by retraction of the fat pad. Previously this has been acheived by use of a Senn ("cats paw") retractor. The fat pad retractor has the same clawed foot but has a much more practical means of holding the instrument.

Swedish Pattern

Use an osteotome to make a precise elective cut, e.g. trochanteric osteotomy, excision arthroplasty.

The Gelpi is an extremely versatile self retaining retractor useful in almost any orthopaedic procedure. Veterinary Instrumentation Gelpis are different from standard Gelpis in two respects:

£42.50

Travers

1.Short blunt tips give focal retraction for precise exposure of the fracture or lesion. 2. The teeth on the ratchet are smaller than usual giving finer control over the spread of the tips. Gelpis are virtually an extra pair of hands and are invaluable in circumstances where the surgeon is working alone. This is the norm in general practice. The curved shape sits nicely on our patients. Useful in the following procedures and many more: • • • •

• • • •

Total Head and Neck Excision Meniscal examination Fracture repairs Laminectomies

Expensive but very useful for retraction of skin and superficial soft tissue. TRAVERS

The limbs of small animal veterinary patients are typically much smaller than their human counterparts. Most bandage scissors are designed for the human limb. Veterinary bandage scissors should be lower in profile to get between bandage and skin and, for ease of use, need to be slightly straighter than standard human bandage scissors. Our Veterinary Bandage Scissors meet these requirements and make dressing removal much easier.

GENERAL INSTRUMENTATION

Surgical Scissor - Supercut

Surgical Scissors Surgical scissors are typically either one of two designs. The Mayo is the general purpose surgical scissor in which the blade occupies approximately one third of the length of the scissor. The 14cm straight Mayo is the standard veterinary surgical scissor. The Metzenbaum is a finer lighter scissor in which the blade occupies approximately one quarter of the scissor length. Using a 14.5cm metzenbaum rather than a 14cm Mayo will give you a finer scissor but a similar working distance. Each style of scissor is available in four different qualities which vary according to blade construction and cutting characteristics. They can be identified by handle colour. • Standard

Stainless

• Supercut

Black

• Tunsten Carbide

Gold

• Supercut T.C.

Black & Gold

One blade is sharpened to a tapered edge which greatly enhances the ability of the scissor to slice through tissues. The standard scissor has much more of a crushing action. Identified by having black handles.

INSTRUMENT CARE

and implant cutters have a size rating for a reason! Inappropriate use will damage instruments and invalidate warranties.

Introduction The majority of surgical instruments are made of stainless steel. There are many different types of stainless steel alloys (60+), with varying amounts of nickel & chromium to increase resistance to corrosion. All types of stainless steel will corrode under certain conditions — ‘stainless’ is a little misleading. The proportions of the various constituents affect the characteristics of the final steel, along with the degree of hardening applied.

4. Avoid mixing different metals when processing instruments — keep chrome plated, industrial finish & aluminium items separate from stainless, particularly in ultrasonic cleaners. Cleaned lubricated instruments are ready for packaging. Always carry out a visual check at this stage — are the cutting edges of scissors free of damage, do the jaws of artery forceps & needle-holders meet correctly with no signs of twisting for example. Check that all thumbscrews are tight, as in Gelpi & stifle distractor joints

Surgical instruments must be hard enough to take and keep a cutting edge (eg scissors) or have a certain spring (eg artery forceps). The steel possessing these qualities contains less chromium and more carbon than orthopaedic implants, which are made of steel with the primary characteristic of resistance to corrosion, making it too soft for instruments. The penalty is that this type of higher carbon stainless steel (called Martensitic) is much more likely to corrode and stain.

Also look for fine cracks in instruments, for example across the box joints in artery forceps.

The parts of the steel likely to rust are protected by a thin layer of chromium oxide which is produced by the chromium part of the steel. Actions which encourage the production of chromium oxide minimise corrosion. Actions which either physically or chemically destroy this layer of chromium oxide encourage rusting or staining. Maximising the chromium oxide layer is the basis of sound instrument care. This layer thickens with age and increases the resistance of your instruments to corrosion — in new instruments it is relatively thin. This is why you may have marking problems with new instruments but your old ones are fine — new instruments will be more intolerant of inappropriate detergents, inadequate lubrication and the corrosive environment of the autoclave etc.

Needle-holder with damaged jaws Manual cleaning protocol — stainless instruments

Joint showing wear due to inadequate lubrication

Box joint showing cracking & biological debris

1. Open all joints and rinse gross loose debris from instruments in warm water (NOT hot — this will coagulate proteins & make the instruments much harder to clean) immediately after use. They will be much harder to clean if left to dry!

Damaged items should be sent for repair or disposed of. It is good practice to sterilize items being sent for repair. Many repairers require a certificate of decontamination to be sent with instruments, and instruments should never be sent out in a soiled condition.

2. Completely submerge instruments in an enzyme based neutral pH detergent — soak for time specified in detergent instruction

There are many materials for packing instruments for autoclaving. Paper peel-packs are commonly used, along with nylon autoclave film. We do not recommend the use of laundered fabrics as instrument wraps, as residual detergents and bleaches can cause pH & chlorine related damage to your instruments. Disposable autoclavable instrument wrapping fabrics similar to disposable drapes are available.

3. Gently scrub instruments with a soft bristled brush to remove all remaining visible soil, keeping the instrument under the surface of the detergent to reduce spray. Use a pipe-cleaner brush on instruments with a lumen. Pay special attention to joints & ratchets. 4. Remove from the enzyme solution and rinse thoroughly in tap water for at least 3 minutes

Sterilisation The autoclave is a very hostile environment for your instruments. The combination of heat & moisture promotes corrosion and staining, particularly if there are residual detergents etc. in wrapping materials. This is also true where tap water instead of distilled or demineralised water is used in the autoclave. Mineral deposits on instruments are unsightly as well as interfering with normal joint function etc. They are difficult to remove, so prevention is better than cure.

5. Ideally place the instruments in an ultrasonic cleaning bath for 1015 minutes or as per cleaner instruction manual. 6. Remove from bath at completion of cycle, (or after step 4 if no ultrasonic available) then rinse instruments thoroughly with purified (distilled) water. 7. Dry with a clean non-shedding wipe — leaving them to air-dry will result in water spotting.

Rust in the steam pipes of your autoclave will transfer to your instruments, so autoclave maintenance is important. Regular servicing ensures the autoclave is working correctly. Vacuum autoclaves help remove residual steam from packs, and it is important that directions are followed and cycles are completed. Regularly check the door seal is undamaged, and replace if necessary. If applicable to your machine, drain & refill the water tank regularly with distilled water. You may well be surprised what comes out!

8. Lubricate with either spray surgical instrument oil or place in instrument milk bath — follow directions for product used. To keep your instruments in peak condition, there are some basic rules which should be followed. 1. Handle your instruments with care — dropping, scratching etc. will all damage the surface of instruments and reduce their resistance to corrosion.

If your packs are coming out of the autoclave wet through then there is a cycle problem & you need to speak to your autoclave engineer for advice. Wet storage will result in corrosion and damage to your instruments.

2. Store with care. If instruments are stored damp they will corrode. Delicate instruments should be packed with protective tips & silicone storage box inserts to stop them rattling around. Always make sure heavy instruments are not stored on top of lighter equipment.

So — store your instruments clean, dry, lubricated & protected and they will give you many years of service. A good, easy to follow instrument care protocol will extend instrument life, save money and result in happy surgeons!

3. Use them to do what they were designed for! Artery forceps are not needle-holders or wire twisters, bone cutters are not designed to cut wire, 218

Instrument Cleaning Brush Used regularly, ultrasonic cleaning will keep your instruments looking good, and more importantly, working well. Ultrasonic action can clean out those nooks and crannies, including wide box joints, which normal cleaning cannot penetrate. Accumulations of blood in instrument joints cause corrosion and stiffening. Available in a range of sizes to suit your circumstances. All units include timer and heater, both of which are essential. We recommend the use of Rapidex and Rapizyme as ultrasonic cleaning agents.

Stainless steel instruments are protected from corrosion by a very thin layer of chromium oxide. This should not be damaged by regular wire brushes. This brush has firm nylon bristles on one side and stainless steel bristles on the other. Only use the stainless side to remove debris from grooves in artery forceps etc.

MELAG Class B Autoclaves. Vakuklav 23-B Melag Autoclaves After a lot of research and discussions with users we have selected the MELAG Vakuklav 23-B as representing the best combination of specification, ease of use and value. MELAG is a family run concern with decades of experience in designing and producing autoclaves. Melag autoclaves are backed up by a UK wide network of engineers. For extra rapid cycle times consider the Melag Cheeta class autoclave. Little Sister type autoclaves are designed to sterilise non wrapped solid items on open trays. This type of autoclave is classified as type N and in human practice it is not permitted for sterilisation of wrapped instruments (even in autoclave bags) or hollow instruments for fear that the steam will not fully penetrate. To ensure full penetration of steam a vacuum cycle must first remove the air from the chamber. Type B autoclaves are the highest specification machines and are suitable for the sterilisation of all wrapped or nonwrapped, solid, hollow and porous products. In addition the Type B autoclaves produce dry packs and instruments, which minimises staining and corrosion of instruments.

melag type23 B

In human hospitals it is a requirement that printed records are created and kept of each cycle. Now that MRSA infections are also appearing in veterinary practice it would seem reasonable that we should do the same.

Highest specification Class B Bench top vacuum autoclave conforming to prEN13060/1-4 Fractionated Pre-Vacuum, with sub atmospheric pulsing.

Why MELAG?

Simple Choice of Programs

Conformation - International regulation prEN13060/1-4 categorises autoclaves as types N, S and B according to their operational parameters and intended applications. All Melag autoclaves conform. Independent Validation - Melag Type B autoclaves have been independently validated by a leading German University and have exceeded the requirements of prEN13060/1-4 for Class B Autoclaves. Water Purity - Only the best quality demineralised or sterile water should be used to avoid autoclave malfunction and possible long term damage. melag prog 1

Melag type B machines automatically check water quality before each cycle. If the sterilising water contains impurities the autoclave will inform the operator and prevent use of the contaminated water. This feature is unique to Melag and significantly contributes to Melag’s enviable reputation for long term reliability and longevity.

Universal Cycle, 134c 2.1 bar, suitable for wrapped and unwrapped instruments and certain hollow items.

Water Cycle - Melag Type B autoclaves allow the user a choice of either one-way or water recirculation. With either system the autoclave will inform the user when refilling or draining is required Simplicity - Simple push button operation. With its large back lit alphanumeric display Melag informs the user of the cycle chosen and stages reached within the cycle.

melag prog 2

Comprehensive cycles - The user has a wide choice of cycles for different load types.

Quick Cycle, 134c 2.1 bar, suitable for unwrapped instruments only which are required for rapid re-use. Rapid sterilization in approx. 15 minutes.

Documentation - For security every Melag Type B machine includes a printer which comprehensively documents every cycle and sterilizing event. Alternatively each Melag B can be supplied with MelaWin software which runs unobtrusively in the background. This programme archives every cycle. These are available for printing and examination. Reliability and Longevity - All Melag autoclaves are manufactured from the highest quality materials available. Pressure chambers and doors are manufactured from stainless steel, pressure lines and pipes from Teflon and all other parts in contact with water from bronze. Door seals are manufactured from long life silicon. Lifetime chamber guarantee. Melag recommended service intervals are 1000 cycles or 2 years whichever is shorter.

The result in steam quality and cycle times has never before been seen in a Bench Top Autoclave. All units Class B compliant. The Melag Cheetah Type 43-B operates at an incredible cycle time of only 13 minutes for WRAPPED instruments INCLUDING drying time. This is reduced to only 7 minutes for UNWRAPPED instruments INCLUDING drying. Imagine, by the time you have taken to read the autoclave section of this catalogue the Cheetah 43-B will have started its second cycle! Obviously speed is not everything and the Melag Cheetah range also provides user friendly documentation of every cycle and event via the removable Flash Card or by use of its standard Ethernet connection. The Melag Cheetah range is fully compliant with all current legislation and all pending legislation. Extremely simple to use, the Melag Cheetah range must be considered for all practices serious about sterility and the equipment they use.

Re-useable Cotton Drapes

Client Expectations

Plain Surgical Drapes

In 2009 a survey published in the Journal of Small Animal Practice (JSAP.Vol 50. September 2009) revealed a significant disconnect between client expectations of operating theatre practice and the reality of what happens in first opinion veterinary practice.

Available in green balloon cloth (lightweight with fine weave) single and double thickness, and the tougher calico (heavyweight with coarser weave) available in single thickness only. PLAIN SURGICAL DRAPES - Balloon Cloth - Single ply BDS1818

The article also revealed that clients would be unhappy if their expectations were not met. The main driver of theatre practice should be the wellbeing of our patients but how clients expect us to operate is not an insignificant factor. That veterinary practice should, ideally, comform to the standards indicated is not really in doubt. The survey shows that veterinary practice is in many cases not living up to client expectations. By implication if clients expect us to use these materials then they will be willing to pay for them. This section includes a wide selection re-usable and disposable theatre wear and drapes.

Disposable Gowns, Drapes & Towels Most veterinary autoclaves sterilise cloth drapes unreliably. Packs containing materials should be autoclaved using a vacuum autoclave. Disposables provide an alternative in that they require no cleaning, laundering, folding, packing and autoclaving. The cost is no longer prohibitive particularly when bought by the case. Below is a useful section of what is available. If you require a specific pack not shown please call 0845 130 9596. Samples are available on request.

ANAESTHESIA & MONITORING

Matrx VMSTM The VMS small animal anaesthesia machine is a long-time favorite of veterinary professionals. It is designed for safe, simple, and controllable small animal inhalation anaesthesia. The dual view oxygen flowmeter (0.24 LPM) allows you to quickly switch from standard to magnified view. Midmark is the only company to have a negative pressure safety valve that allows room air into the system if the oxygen flow is cut off to the patient.

Veterinary Instrumentation is very pleased to have been appointed exclusive UK distributor for Midmark. The Midmark family also includes the Matrx range of Anaesthesia machines and Cardell monitors. With over 90 years of healthcare manufacturing and clinical use experience, Midmark are recognised as leaders in veterinary dentistry, anaesthesia and monitoring.

Specifications Dual view oxygen flowmeter - glass tube with a fused scale reading from 0.2 to 4 lpm — quickly switch from standard to magnified view at the touch of a finger Easy-to-view inhalation/exhalation valves allow easy monitoring of respiration for patient safety Automatic air intake valve — opens to provide room air to patient if contents of breathing bag are depleted Oxygen flush 1500cc CO2 absorber with “Quick Release” lever feature for easy absorbent replacement (accepts pre-pack canisters or 1350gm loose absorbent) Dome-type inhalation and exhalation valves — no tools needed to disassemble

Matrx Veterinary Anaesthetic Gas Scavenger

Anaesthetic machines using calibrated "TEC" type vapourisers deliver into the circuit a gas mixture containing a specified percentage of volatile. In nonrebreathing circuits the patient will breathe this exact mixture. In circuits where some rebreathing occurs, the gas mix will not be the same as dialed on the vapouriser.

The Matrx™ Veterinary Anaesthetic Gas Scavenger offers reliable active scavenging of waste anaesthetic gas. It is designed to meet current ASTM and ANSI standards and is available in a post mount or wall mount configuration.

Veterinary Instrumentation's vapourisers are serviced and re-calibrated prior to sale.

Each Wall or Post Mount Scavenger unit will scavenge the waste anaesthetic gas from one anaesthesia machine. Portable — Post Mount Scavenger comes complete with 20 ft. (6m) of 32mm tubing, 5 ft. (1.5m) of 19mm tubing and post mount hardware. Wall Mount Scavenger comes complete with 2 ft. (.6m) of 32mm tubing, 18 ft. (5.5m) of 19mm tubing and wall mount hardware.

Oxygen Generator Very quiet running, floor standing and mobile on 4 removable castors. When connected to a normal 220 volt socket the PV5 will produce up to 5 litres/min of dry oxygen between 90% and 94% purity. Ideal for one anaesthetic machine. A green light indicates that the oxygen concentration is above the set point of 85%. If the oxygen concentration goes below 85% this light changes to red and an audible alarm will sound. The generator is simply plugged into mains electricity and therefore has a very low running cost (400w).

Fluosorber The Fluosorber absorbs all organic volatiles including Halothane and Isoflurane. The absorbed volatile is discarded with the exhausted Fluosorber after an increase in weight of 200g.

How it might benefit you

The Fluosorber is ideal for situations where there is no convenient outside wall.

Have you any idea what you are paying for oxygen in cylinders?

Fluosorbers are cheaper in bulk (6).

Avoids health and safety risks of continuously handling/changing heavy oxygen cylinders.

Oxygen cylinders may be costing your practice several thousand pounds per year. Why not have your own “in practice” oxygen generator.

Reduces infection/contamination by not having dirty old oxygen cylinders in your surgery. Avoids the problem of empty O2 cylinders occuring in mid surgery. Can be used to provide continuous oxygen to sick and convalescent animals. FLUOSORBER

Reduction Valves for Anaesthetic Gases

Replaces the breathing bag, freeing technician to assist in other procedures

Bottled gas at high pressure needs to be reduced to a pressure which can be handled by the anaesthetic machine (4 bar). Our single stage reduction valves reduce the pressure automatically to the correct pressure for the gas. Available in either bull nose fitting or pin index.

Precise control of anesthetic state allows lower levels of anaesthesia for more responsive patients, more economical operation, with blood CO2 and pH levels closer to normal Interchangeable bellows adapt to animals from 1 kg to 300 kg — no tools required Maximum working pressure limit (MWPL) adjustable from 10-60 cm H2O Dual airway pressure alarms signal any breath exceeding preset maximum or minimum Optional low supply gas alarm signals supply gas pressure below 35 psi. Respitory rates from 6-40 breaths per minute at inspiratory flow rates from 0-100 lpm Tidal volumes from 20-3,000 cc Built in scavenging point

Each stylet has an adjustable rubber stopper to ensure that the stylet tip is not exposed at the endo tube tip. The stylets work especially well with silicone tubes which tend to be soft.

Metered Dose Inhalers (MDI) have been the treatment of choice for human asthmatics for many years. Inhaled medication has been shown to be more effective with fewer side effects. It is now possible to use these agents in cats with our unique aerosol chamber designed for cats. The chamber works with standard human MDIs and works well with the small tidal volume of feline patients. Patients quickly accept the system.

Non-invasive blood pressure monitoring. Hypertension is often overlooked during diagnosis, treatment and routine physical examinations in small animals. In addition many hypotensive patients, such as those suffering from shock, benefit greatly from Doppler measurement of blood pressure when knowing the pressure can mean effective and timely treatment.

Diagnostic Alarm

Combining Doppler with an appropriate sized 'cuff' for small animals, provides the veterinarian with the same non-invasive method for testing blood pressure as is available in human medicine. A small probe is placed over a peripheral artery (e.g digital or coccygeal). An ultrasonic crystal in the probe transmits pulse wave sound back to the amplifier. The pressure cuff is inflated until the pulse sound is no longer audible. The cuff is slowly deflated, using the manometer, until pulse sounds are audible once more, at which point the manometer displays a numeric value of the animal's systolic pressure.

The GT LED operating light was developed by veterinary surgeon Mark Treherne specifically for the needs of the typical veterinary operating theatre. The GT LED light produces 1,600 lux of cool light at 1 meter (240,000lux at 10cm). The emitted is at 5500 Kelvin, similar to daylight.

This very compact single light source is an ideal procedure light. The head swivels around to whatever position you require.

With 50,000 hours before bulb changes, low voltage and low power consumption the GT LED light is very economical with a low carbon foorprint. The light can even be used as emergency lighting in the event of power cuts. For the same energy input LED lights output 17.5 X the light.

CLIPPERS

Cardinal Wet n Dry

Surgical Clippers Andis Super AGR+ Cordless with corded back up

This clipper is designed to work in a wet environment. Other than the blade regular veterinary clippers are rarely cleaned effectively allowing a build up of potential pathogens in the prep or consulting area. The wet n dry clippers will tolerate washing and disinfecting. They may even be soaked for long enough for chemical sterilisation thereby minimising cross contamination. Sterilisable clippers are now commonplace in human theatres.

* Powerful clipper designed for all day heavy use.

In addition they are quiet giving a close surgical clip.

* Sensa-Charge charger recharges battery is less than an hour.

CARDINAL WET N DRY CLIPPER

* High speed motor 3800 strokes per minute * Includes No 10 Ceramic edge blade * Cord adaptor converts clipper to mains power in emergencies. ANDIS SUPER AGR+ CORDLESS 0285604

Aluminium and plastic rings frequently prevent venous return from the distal limb of small birds. Oedema and necrosis quickly follow unless the ring is removed. Removal of the ring without fracturing the leg is not easy without this special cutting tool.

Identification rings placed on show rabbits can occlude the venous return from the distal hind limb with disastrous results. Removal of the ring without causing additional damage and pain to the limb is very difficult without these purpose designed cutters. Once the notched jaws are engaged on the ring, firm pressure may be applied to cut the ring without fear of the ring "flipping over". Also functions as a general purpose canine nail cutter. Small

This device is used by jewellers to remove rings from people’s fingers. The ring is cut by turning a hardened saw blade. Parrot rings are very tough and cannot be removed by nail cutters.
