Castration with the Henderson method results in little or no blood loss, less stress, swelling, infection, and trauma. 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. The Henderson Equine Castration Instrument is used with a standard 14.4 volt variable speed hand drill with a neutral switch, preferably a cordless unit for convenience and safety. It 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. Easy to use and faster than many other forms of castration. Heavy duty stainless steel construction for years of service.
