The major design difference between the Henderson Equine Castrating Instrument and the Henderson Castrating Tool for cattle is a wider opening in the plier jaws to accommodate the larger cords in stallions.  Because of this, we recommend that you use the Henderson Castrating Instrument on stallions only.

• Used with a standard 14.4 volt variable speed hand drill with a neutral switch, preferably a cordless unit for convenience and safety.
• Utilizes twisting action which effectively closes the severed cord.
• Minimizes blood loss and risk of hemorrhage through the severed cord

• Reduces risk of post-castration swelling, infection and trauma
• Less chance for infection to enter the abdominal cavity. 
• Appears to be less pain post surgery
• Easy to use and faster than many other forms of castration
• The Henderson Equine Castration Instrument may be used on stallions one week of age or older.  Castration is usually completed at one or two years of age.
• Field tested by veterinarians. 
• Heavy duty stainless steel construction for years of service.
