Maxi-Ject
Blowpipe systems - 2ml,
3ml, and 5ml blowpipe kits providing remote injection (30-60 foot range)
capability for drug administration needs of veterinarians or animal control
professionals. Each kit provides complete components including reusable syringe
darts and needles. Packaged in fully lined zippered cases.
How Does it Work?
- The
syringes work through the use of air pressure, which injects the drug or vaccine
through a hole in the side of the needle, known as a port. The port is
sealed by a tiny silicone sleeve, which is pushed back by the animal's skin upon
needle penetration . The injection automatically follows, and the sleeve remains
at the needle hub for reuse.
Dart dosages are variable. Example: A three -ml syringe can be used to inject only one-half-ml if desired. The dosage amounts range from one-quarter-ml to five-ml, the largest syringe available.
Helpful Hint - A major
feature of the blowpipe is its silence in
comparison to a standard capture gun. Silent injections are less likely to
disturb animals, allowing for multiple injections without frightening surrounding animals and the patients themselves.
"You just have to use it two or three times before you get the hang of
it... It doesn't have great distance range, but it is
sufficient for field work." Dr. Tommy Little, large animal practitioner in Cullman,
Ala.
Usage
- This is a
remote injection system that delivers
drugs or vaccine to previously unreachable or excitable animals. With a little
practice the syringe can be targeted from a distance of up to 60 feet,
with good accuracy. Ideal for animal control officers.
