Cattle Boss Obstetrical saw wire 3m long

Details

A single working length of fetotomy wire at three metres, which gives you enough for a cut with wire to spare at the handles. Buying it cut is the sensible option if you want one in the kit rather than a roll on the shelf. Six dollars, and it is a single use item. Wire that has been through a cut is kinked and hardened, and wire that breaks mid procedure makes a difficult situation considerably worse. Replace it after use, and replace it if it has sat long enough to pick up rust. Store it dry and coiled, never folded. Kinks are where it fails. Be clear about what this is for. Obstetrical saw wire removes a dead calf when the cow cannot deliver it and the alternative is losing her too. It is a veterinary procedure, and the difference between saving a cow and tearing her uterus is knowing the anatomy. If you keep one because you are a long way from help, have your veterinarian teach you the technique in advance. If the calf may be alive, put the wire down and call.
