Description

Designed for Veterinary Research and Veterinary Medicine, this wireless and non-invasive algometer is a quick and easy-to-use device for the assessment of Mechanical Nociceptive Threshold (MNT). Robust design and high-capacity sensor make it ideal for big mammals ! Bioseb’s Vetalgo, or Algometer for Big Mammals, is a new pressure-based analgesimeter especially designed for big mammals. Delivered with a set of 3 different-size stimulators, the profile of mechanical stimulus and the application surface can be adapted to various animal’s size (horses, cats, dogs, pigs, sheep, calves) and to various testing sites : joints, vertebras, pelvic area, hoof, wound, soft tissue, muscle, horn, metatarsus, carpal pad etc. Von Frey filaments are commonly used to quantify pain or to assess sensitivity, but this technique is time-consuming and does not avoid cross-contamination - moreover, it is limited to 300g of force. The full capacity of our Pressure Algometer being 5000g (ie. 50N), the device allows pain threshold measurement for most big mammals. Veterinary studies, such as “Briley, J.D., et al. Feasibility and repeatability of cold and mechanical quantitative sensory testing in normal dogs. The Veterinary Journal (2013), “show the importance of quantitative sensory testing (QST) to evaluate pain threshold in mammals with OA inflammation, pelvic pain or muscle-related troubles. The repeatability and the validity of Bioseb’s 'Vetalgo' Pressure Algometer have been demonstrated, and is now recommended as part of a multimodal and complete somatosensory evaluation set. It is a must on veterinary’s standard equipment for the improvement of Animal’s life quality.
