Castrators & Emasculators

Castrators & Emasculators

Castration technique varies by species, age and the method a practice prefers, and the instrument has to match. Velmourne's castrators and emasculators cover crushing, bloodless and elastration methods, so the choice comes down to clinical judgement rather than what happens to be in the cupboard.

Why Instrument Choice Matters Here

• Crushing and cutting jaws must close with even, controlled pressure to seal vessels reliably
• A bloodless (Burdizzo-style) clamp needs consistent jaw alignment to work as intended
• Elastration relies on the rings holding tension without slipping once applied
• Correctly sized instruments reduce procedure time and handling stress on the animal

Emasculators and Clamps

• Serra's Emasculator 14" — the traditional crush-and-cut pattern for equine castration.
• Reimer's Emasculator 13" — an alternative jaw geometry for practitioners with a set preference.
• Sand Castration Clamp 12.5" — for crushing technique ahead of removal.
• Burdizzo-Style Clamp 9" — the bloodless method, closing vessels without an open wound.

Elastration

• Chrome Elastrator Pliers Set and Plastic Elastrator Pliers Set — both supplied with 100 rings, for practices treating calves, lambs, kids and pigs.
• Elastrator Bands — restock packs for ongoing elastration work.

All instruments are stainless or coated steel, built to close evenly across the full jaw and hold that alignment through repeated use.
