Balfour Abdominal Retractors – A Solution to Complex Surgical Problems

Image
  In both human and animal bodies, organs and tissues are packed together very closely, with one lying over the other. Therefore, surrounding tissues can obstruct the view and make it hard for the surgeon to access the surgical site. Therefore, to solve this problem,  surgical retractors  are used. Retractors are surgical instruments that are used to open a wound or incision for proper medical examination. They keep tissues and organs away from the surgical site to provide a better view to the surgeon. They have two distinct types; handheld retractors and self-retaining retractors. Handheld retractors require a person to operate them manually. Self-retaining retractors can be adjusted in one place, leaving the surgical assistant free from holding them all the time. They are easy to use and can stay in one position on their own. There are many kinds of retractors that perform specific functions like Gelpi Retractor, Malleable Ribbon Retractor, Hohmann Retractor, Balfour Re...

Is Sedation Safe to Use for Equine Lameness Investigation?

Image
  Equine lameness can cause many horse owners to be extremely worried. Most of the time, it is the main reason why people seek veterinary care. Veterinarians use drugs like intrasynovial or perineural diagnostic analgesia to investigate and localize pain that is causing lameness. Some horses are either needle shy or fractious when it comes to receiving medical care. It hard to make them comply with the veterinarians. Physical constraints may not prove valuable in some cases. Therefore, in such situations, for a safe and precise injection of analgesia, sedation may be required. Some veterinarians avoid using a2-adrenergic agonist as its effects are still unknown.  Different studies have been conducted previously to find out about the effect of sedation on equine lameness. Xylazine, detomidine hydrochloride and romifidine are among the ones tested by researchers. The effect of xylazine on equine lameness was tested by many researchers. One study conducted on the collected use of...
