Wadsworth Manufacturing XL Bander is a specially designed bloodless castration tool for use on bulls from approximately 250 to 750 pounds. Works like traditional plier banders, yet simpler! Causes less stress than crushing or cutting; does not require any tightening or crimping for application. Allows you to delay castration for better gain and growth in younger animals. Can be used on sheep and goats, and to remove horns and tails.

INSTRUCTIONS

Restrain animal. Place band on bander and open. Place open band over scrotum. Before releasing the band, ensure both testicles are below the bander. The scrotum should drop off in 20 to 40 days. A tetanus toxoid vaccination is recommended at application. Monitor animals for infection.

On bulls with scrotums too large for the open band to slip over both testicles at the same time: simply place the open band at the bottom of the scrotal sac. Push the tool up toward the body and work the testicles through the band one at a time.

When removing the band from the tool, place the band as far from the body as possible.
