I got to use the Vet-Tome for the first-time last week. I was
extracting a lower canine in a Staffy dog. The nemesis for
most practitioners. Normally, to extract this tooth, I would
raise flaps on both the lateral and medial sides of the tooth. I
would also remove bone on both sides of the tooth, and then
with the use of luxators and elevators and a fair amount of
angst, I would extract the tooth with the fear of fracturing
the lower jaw in the back of my mind. The dog would then
be left with a fairly big hole as well as bone loss from the
surgical extraction and the flap would then be sutured over
this cavernous hole. I figured that hopefully in the future,
something would arrive that would take away the fear, the
sweat and sometimes the tears that has been associated with
difficult extractions. The future has arrived.

Today, with the Vet-Tome, I had one
of the most satisfying professional
experiences of my career! Thank you.”
The Vet-Tome is basically a mechanical periotome with
1-10 power settings that follows and cuts the periodontal
ligament. It can be used 360 degrees around the tooth. The
idea is that you normally do not need to remove alveolar
bone, but the Vet-Tome creates a space around the tooth
and will loosen the tooth. In my hands, I then use elevators
to elevate the tooth out of the socket, finally allowing for
extraction forceps to finish the job. The hole that is left is
much smaller than in a surgical extraction. The Vet-Tome
gives you the ability to perform a truly minimally invasive
extraction, which means more rapid socket healing and less
pain for the pet. In my humble opinion, the Vet-Tome will be
a game changer for the veterinary profession.”

CAT. CODE
V2000
Complete with two standard and two heavy stainless steel tips.
Vet-Tome Standard Flat Tip –
37 mm - 5 pack
V2001
The Vet-Tome standard flat tip is a thin blade designed to follow
(bend and curve) the tooth root and cut the periodontal Ligament.
Vet-Tome Heavy Tip – 40 mm - 5 pack
The Vet-Tome heavy tip is thicker and slightly longer than the
standard tip (V2001) designed to be more robust and therefore last
longer. The disadvantage of the heavy tip is it does not bend and
curve and should only be used on straight tooth roots.
