Vet-Tome ®

The atraumatic extraction system that greatly reduces extraction time and saves bone !
The Vet-Tome is an automated periotome which offers precise tooth extraction with minimal or no alveolar bone loss . The surgery is often flapless so the animal experiences reduced pain and swelling .
The electric foot-operated Vet-Tome uses replaceable ultra-thin stainless steel tips / blades coupled with the mechanical in and out action generated by the handpiece to cut the periodontal ligament , similar to a luxator ( hand instrument ). The mechanical action and thin flexible blade allows easy insertion into the periodontal ligament ( PDL ) and alveolus ( tooth socket ).
VET-TOME BENEFITS
• Less trauma to the patient
• Speeds up the procedure
• May eliminate or reduce the need to remove buccal bone
• Allows work in tighter spaces
• Cuts paths for luxators and winged elevators
• Decreases hand fatigue
