• Proper Placement of the Loop. The Loop should be placed just above the testicles (approx. 2.5cm) and as far away from the belly as possible.
• Proper Tightness. The Callicrate Bander "custom fits" every loop to the size of each animal banded. (The built-in tension gauge is designed to make it easy for the operator to know when correct tension has been achieved, regardless of the size of the scrotum. Use this feature to ensure that loops are properly applied and to minimize risk of accidental loop breakage).
• Locktight Clip®. The Callicrate Banding System uses the patented no-slip Callicrate clip that holds the necessary loop tension to prevent swelling, reduce pain and stress, resulting in the shortest possible scrotal drop time. Always insert the clip into the bander with the seam side facing up.
• Proper Selection and Use of Tetanus Vaccine. Tetanus is a risk with any form of castration. Proper immunization controls tetanus risk. Tetanus toxoid (not antitoxin) must be used. It is important to read and follow vaccine instructions especially in nieve cattle in endemic tetanus areas. For more information contact your veterinarian.
• It is important to use safety precautions when using an equipment. Please wear safety glasses. Do NOT use a scalpel. Use the Callicrate cutter included with the bander kit.
