About

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.

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.

Safety

Because it reduces the possibility of injury to the person administering the injection, the Maxi-ject blowpipe has proven to be an especially effective tool to large animal practice. A major benefit is that it allows the user to inject an animal without close proximity to flying hooves or other dangerous field encounters.

The extremely light weight darts provide optimum safety with exotics and small animals.

Tolerability

Silent and very light weight darts provide excellent patient acceptance.

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.
