OverviewThe British Capsule Forceps AE 107 is a veterinary instrument for controlled handling and placement of tablets, capsules and small boluses in companion animals and livestock. Scissor-style construction with a positive-locking mechanism enables precise delivery in the posterior oral cavity.
Key Features & Benefits- Precision engineering: Angled serrated jaws grip tablets and capsules without crushing; positive-lock holds medication securely until intentional release; extended reach options (20–30 cm) access posterior oral cavity.
- Animal-safe design: Smooth rounded tips minimize mucosal trauma; AISI 304 stainless steel resists corrosion from saliva and medications.
- Ergonomic handling: Finger-ring handles with textured surfaces reduce slippage; balanced weight distribution lowers operator fatigue; locking ratchet secures hold during placement.
- Versatile clinical applications: Oral medication in dogs, cats and exotic pets; capsule placement in small ruminants; avian and reptile medication delivery; retrieval of small oral foreign bodies.
Why Choose British Capsule Forceps?- Improved control: Greater handling accuracy compared with standard pill poppers or fingers.
- Reduced medication loss: Secure grip prevents dropped pills.
- Enhanced handler safety: Minimizes bite and exposure risk.
