Veterinary Supplies

Veterinary Supplies covers the hands-on work with the animal: examining, sampling and administering medication. Three subcategories structure the range. Long-arm PE gloves protect hand and arm during rectal examinations and obstetrics. Sample cups and tubes hold urine, faeces and blood for diagnostics. Disposable syringes and needles are used for injections and for giving liquids.

The items differ mainly in length, volume and sterility. Gloves run from 90 cm through shoulder length of about 95 cm to 120 cm, in 0.03 and 0.05 mm gauges, either non-sterile in bags or sterile and individually packed. Syringes come in 5, 10, 20 and 50 ml, needles in 18G, 20G and 22G.

Typical applications

• Pregnancy diagnosis and artificial insemination in cattle
• Obstetric work on cattle and equine units
• Faecal and urine samples from the barn, the surgery and house calls
• Blood sampling for haematology in the practice laboratory
• Vaccinations and injections on farm and in small-animal practice

What to look for when buying

Choose glove length according to species and procedure: a longer glove makes sense for deep rectal work on large animals, and the reinforced 0.05 mm version for heavier-duty tasks. Where sterile handling is needed, use the gamma-sterilised rectal glove.

For specimen containers, let the sample decide: cups for urine and larger volumes, the tube with spoon for faeces, the purple-cap EDTA tube for whole blood. With syringes, the dose determines the volume; the needles have a Luer-Lock connection.
