📩 Quick Inquiry
Lameness is one of the biggest challenges in modern dairy farming, affecting both animal welfare and milk yield. Our Cow Claw Spreader with Integrated Sole Tester (Also known as Cow Claw Spreader Plier) is engineered to help veterinarians and professional trimmers make faster, more accurate diagnoses.
Key Functional Features:
-
Integrated Sole Tester: The jaws are designed to apply controlled, localized pressure to the sole, wall, and heel. This is essential for detecting hidden pain points, solar ulcers, and bruising before they lead to severe lameness.
-
High-Leverage Spreader: Once a problem is identified, the mechanical leverage of the tool allows you to gently but firmly hold the claws apart. This provides a clear field of vision for treating Digital Dermatitis (Strawberry Foot) or applying Green Spray and bandages.
-
Ergonomic Design: The long-handle “Vienna-style” or scissor-grip design provides maximum leverage with minimal hand strain, a critical feature for high-volume trimming sessions.

Surgical Stainless Steel: Forged from high-grade, rust-resistant stainless steel. It is designed to be fully autoclavable and resistant to the corrosive nature of manure and farm chemicals.
