Product overview
Dog ear cropping clamps: jaws, length and legal note.
An ear cropping clamp is a long-jawed clamp that holds the ear in position along its length so the surgeon can work along the edge of the clamp. Jaws are curved or straight, with smooth edges to avoid damaging the tissue held between them, and a lock keeps the clamp closed.
Ear cropping is restricted or prohibited in many countries and is not a procedure we recommend; buyers are responsible for complying with the laws and professional rules that apply to them. Where the procedure is lawful, the clamp is for use by veterinarians. We confirm jaw length, curve and finish from your reference piece.
