Sklar Merit Bovine Cervical Forceps, 8 in

This Sklar Merit bovine cervical forceps measures 8 inches in length and is built to grasp and manipulate cervical tissue in cattle, a task that calls for a sturdier, longer instrument than would be used in human or small animal practice given the scale of the anatomy involved. It is used by large animal veterinarians during reproductive procedures such as artificial insemination support, cervical examination or minor gynaecological interventions in cattle.

The forceps' length and jaw strength are suited to reaching and holding cervical tissue securely in a large animal without the veterinarian needing to work at an awkward angle. Instruments of this kind are a routine part of a large animal reproductive veterinary kit, used alongside other specula and examination tools during herd health and breeding programme work.

It should be cleaned and sterilised between animals following standard veterinary instrument reprocessing protocols.
