Product overview
Teat dilators and teat instruments: what to specify.
A teat dilator is a slender, smooth-tipped instrument used by veterinarians on the teat canal in cattle. Teat instruments are made in several forms, and tip shape, diameter and length determine what each is used for. Surfaces need to be smooth and free of burrs because the instrument works inside a narrow canal.
Because the instrument is passed into a body canal, material and finish are the key points: stainless steel with a polished, burr-free surface, supplied clean for reprocessing by the user. We work from your drawing or reference piece for tip form, diameter and length, and offer sets where several sizes are wanted. These instruments are for use by veterinarians or trained persons only.
