Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a fetotomy instrument set used for in veterinary practice?
A fetotomy set is used to surgically reduce a fetus during obstructed delivery (dystocia) in large animals when the fetus cannot be delivered intact. It is a last-resort obstetric procedure performed by a licensed veterinarian.
Q: Can this embryo-tome set be sterilized in an autoclave?
Yes. The instruments are made from surgical-grade stainless steel, which is compatible with standard autoclave sterilization. The carry case should be cleaned separately and not autoclaved.
Q: Is this set suitable for equine (horse) fetotomy procedures?
This set is primarily designed and sized for bovine (cattle) obstetric use. For equine procedures, consult your veterinary supplier to confirm instrument sizing is appropriate for the specific case.
