Description
xThe Zikimed California Castration Stainless Steel Bander with a 30-pack of heavy-duty elastic bands is a hand-operated kit designed for quick, bloodless castration of livestock when used according to instructions.
This stainless-steel bander pairing and set of elastic bands offers a practical, portable option for experienced animal care professionals and farmers. The tool accepts a T-clip on each band and stretches the elastic into position to apply consistent pressure. Supplied in a resealable poly bag, the 127 mm x 8 mm bands are sized for common livestock applications and the stainless steel construction gives corrosion resistance for routine farm use.
How does the bander work and what are the basic steps?
The California-style bander stretches each elastic band and secures it with a T-clip so the band can be slipped around the scrotal area. The mechanism is simple to operate with one hand holding the bander and the other guiding the band.
- Insert the T-clip into the bander’s slotted tip.
- Use the bander to extend the elastic and place it around the sac.
- Release or clip the band onto the T-clip to secure placement.
- Follow facility protocols and monitor the animal after application.
