Stainless steel reusable precision trochar with regular
medical point needle and rounded stylet protruding 1/8"
from needle point for easy implantation of small pellets
up to 3mm in diameter (usually 0.001 mg to to 5 mg
pellet).
| Note: A physical restriction
on the pellet could alter the release rate. An
injury to the muscle will cause local inflammation.
The most ideal place to implant the pellet is where
there is maximal space between the skin and the
muscle such as the lateral side of the neck between
the ear and the shoulder. |
 A.
HOW TO USE TROCHAR FOR SMALL PELLET IMPLANTATION
-
Put pellet in a standing
position on needle of trochar, away from sharp
edge and press gently.
-
Pellet should be stable in that
position so that if trochar is pointed downward
pellet will not fall.
-
Put obturator half way in
trochar and hold with stronger hand. With other
hand lift skin on the lateral side of the neck
of the animal and insert trochar. When the
pellet in the trochar contacts the skin, twist
the trochar sideways and insert pellet. Then,
push with obturator all the way. Total distance
from incision is about 2 cm.
