The Dystocia Set is a complete collection of obstetrical veterinary instruments used for assisting in the delivery of offspring during difficult births (dystocia). This set is used in field and clinical settings for safe extraction, repositioning, and handling of the fetus, especially in large animals like cows, buffaloes, and horses. It is essential for improving birthing outcomes and minimizing trauma to both mother and calf.

•  Set Includes:

o  Dystocia hooks (single/double)

o  OB chains (60cm / 90cm / 120cm)

o  Chain handles or OB handles

o   Calf snare

o  OB wire saw and handle (optional)

o  Vaginal speculum (optional in some sets)

•   Material: Medical-grade stainless steel or rust-proof alloy

•  Packaging: Comes in stainless steel box or synthetic case

•  Sterilization: Fully autoclavable components

•  Basic dystocia set (hooks + chains + handles)

•  Advanced set (includes speculums, snares, wire saws)

•  Large animal and small ruminant variants

•  Assists in guided fetal repositioning during dystocia

•  Allows traction for safe extraction of the fetus

•  Supports veterinarians in complex births and caesarean preparations

•  All essential tools in one organized kit

•  Saves time during obstetrical emergencies

•  Reduces risk of trauma and mortality

•  Durable, reusable, and easy to clean

•  Requires trained personnel to use effectively

•  Needs proper sterilization before and after use

•  Some sets may be bulky for field use

•   Sanitize each instrument before and after every procedure

•   Use under proper restraint and possibly sedation of the animal

•   Monitor both dam and fetus during assisted delivery

•   Clean each tool with surgical detergent after use

•   Autoclave before next procedure

•   Store in a sealed, dry, and sterile container or wrap

•   Check for rust or breakage regularly

•   Autoclave at 121–134°C for 15–30 minutes
