OB Chain 45"

The OB Chain 45" is a reusable veterinary obstetrical instrument designed to provide controlled traction during assisted animal delivery. Its 45-inch length offers working reach for professional livestock handling while the strong chain construction provides a dedicated traction tool for veterinary obstetrical procedures.

The current Peak Surgicals model is identified as SKU PS-VS-00598. The product is intended primarily for cattle and livestock care and is suitable for veterinarians, livestock professionals, farms, and field environments where assisted calving procedures are performed.

45-Inch Veterinary Obstetrical Chain

The current Peak Surgicals listing confirms a 45-inch overall chain length. This length provides a practical combination of working reach and handling flexibility during assisted delivery procedures.

The 45-inch measurement is a key purchasing specification when distinguishing this model from shorter or longer veterinary obstetrical chains.

Designed for Assisted Animal Delivery

The OB Chain is designed for use during assisted animal births where controlled traction is required as part of a veterinary or livestock-management procedure.

The chain should be positioned and used according to appropriate veterinary obstetrical technique, animal condition, fetal presentation, and the professional judgment of the person managing the delivery.

Cattle and Livestock Calving Application

Peak Surgicals specifically references cattle and livestock calving as primary applications for the OB Chain 45". It can be incorporated into large-animal obstetrical kits used on farms, veterinary facilities, and field settings.

The product page also references difficult or controlled calving situations where manual assistance may be required.

Strong Chain Construction

The current product description identifies a strong chain construction designed to provide consistent traction during assisted delivery.

The exact chain-link dimensions, wire diameter, individual link measurements, and rated load capacity are not stated on the current product page. Buyers requiring those specifications should confirm them before ordering.

Stainless Steel Veterinary Instrument

The current Peak Surgicals product title identifies this model as a stainless steel OB Chain. Stainless steel provides a suitable metallic construction for a reusable veterinary instrument intended for repeated professional handling and cleaning.

The exact stainless-steel alloy grade is not specified on the current product page. Veterinary hospitals, distributors, and procurement teams requiring a particular alloy designation or material certificate should confirm that information before ordering.

Controlled Traction During Calving

The primary function of the OB Chain 45" is to provide a controlled means of applying traction during an assisted delivery. The chain can be used as part of a veterinary obstetrical setup when manual assistance is required.

The amount, direction, and timing of traction should be determined according to appropriate veterinary obstetrical practice rather than relying on the chain alone to determine the delivery technique.

Professional Veterinary and Farm Use

The current Peak Surgicals listing identifies the OB Chain 45" for professional veterinary and farm use. It is relevant for large-animal veterinarians, livestock handlers, cattle farms, breeding facilities, and field-care teams requiring reusable obstetrical equipment.

The exact animal species and clinical suitability should be determined according to the individual case and veterinary requirements.

Reusable and Easy-to-Clean Design

Peak Surgicals describes the OB Chain as reusable and easy to clean. Following use, the entire chain and individual links should be thoroughly cleaned and processed according to applicable veterinary instrument-care procedures.

Before subsequent use, inspect the chain for deformation, damaged links, corrosion, rough surfaces, or other visible deterioration that could affect normal handling.

Product Specifications

For accurate purchasing and inventory identification, buyers can reference SKU PS-VS-00598 together with the 45-inch length and OB Chain configuration.
