About LidoBand™
Lidoband, a novel lidocaine-impregnated elastrator developed for livestock production, aims to address the pain and discomfort associated with band castration by delivering lidocaine quickly. By utilizing advanced technology, Lidoband provides lasting lidocaine effects for the duration of the procedure, which offers enhanced comfort to the animals during the process.
Castration With an Innovative Band That Is Focused On Animal Welfare
Castration is a common practice in the dairy, beef cattle, and sheep industries, typically performed through surgery or elastic banding. Band castration offers a bloodless, cost-effective method with fewer complications, making it a practical choice for high-throughput operations. As ethical and industry standards evolve, solutions that prioritize animal well-being while maintaining efficiency are essential. That's exactly what Lidoband offers!
