Veterinary Obstetrical Instruments for Large Animals
Veterinary obstetrical instruments are the tools large-animal veterinarians and livestock producers rely on to manage difficult births — calving, foaling, lambing, and farrowing — safely and efficiently. This collection is built as a complete livestock obstetrics kit resource, covering the traction, positioning, and fetotomy tools needed to assist a normal delivery or intervene in a case of dystocia.
What's in This Collection
The range starts with traction equipment: stainless steel OB chains in 30", 45", and 60" lengths, along with OB chain handles and T-bar handles, all designed to give a secure, controlled pull during assisted delivery — a core need behind searches like ob chains for cattle and t bar medical tools. For positioning and repulsion, you'll find obstetrical hooks in single, double-eye, and double-action Vienna patterns, plus detorsion bars for correcting uterine torsion in cattle.
Snares are represented by the Calf Snare, Save-A-Calf Obstetrical Snare, the T-Bar Swine Snare, and the OB Snare Porcine 18" — each suited to a different species and delivery scenario. For wire-assisted procedures, the collection includes obstetrical wire guides (straight, ball-end, and drop styles), wire handles and containers, and the Buhner Needle, used for cervical or vaginal wire placement. When embryotomy is required, Linde and Gunther embryotomy knives cover standard fetotomy instruments needs, and Caesarian forceps round out the set for surgical delivery support.
Built for Field and Clinic Use
Every instrument here is manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel to withstand repeated use, cleaning, and sterilization in both clinical and farm settings. Construction is matched to the physical demands of large-animal obstetrics — chains and hooks are built for high traction loads, while wire guides and needles are finished for smooth, low-trauma handling during delicate procedures.

If you're outfitting a full large-animal kit, it's worth pairing this collection with our broader Veterinary Instruments range, or heading straight to View All Veterinary Orthopedic Instruments for the fracture, fixation, and bone-handling tools large-animal practices commonly stock alongside obstetrical gear — including Bone Rasps and Locking Pliers.
Note: if you're looking for human obstetric instruments rather than veterinary ones, our Gynecology Obstetric Forceps collection covers that separately.
