Application Process

Description:

LidoBand™ EZE is a latex rubber band designed to be placed around the base of the scrotum of bulls for castration. Each castration band is infused with 400 mg of lidocaine, which provides local anesthesia. Lidocaine will quickly diffuse through the skin and remain in the local tissue due to vasoconstriction from the band.

Directions for use:

Do not touch the band with bare fingers. Wear gloves when handling or applying Lidoband EZE. Because lidocaine is used in LidoBand EZE, change gloves frequently while handling multiple bands. A tension band applicator (T1 Banders type) is recommended. Follow the manufacturer's directions for the tension band applicator when applying LidoBand EZE. The properties of latex can change with temperature. Cold or hot air temperatures may cause bands to break when expanded. It is recommended to apply bands at temperatures between 60°F and 85°F (15°C and 30°C).

Precautions:

Lidocaine is typically well tolerated. As with all local anesthetics, untoward effects may occur due to hypersensitivity. LidoBand EZE should not be used on animals with a known lidocaine hypersensitivity. The general practice of band castration in cattle, particularly in older bulls, can result in the development of tetanus. Therefore, it is recommended using a Clostridial vaccine with tetanus toxoid prior to the time of banding.

User Safety:

If skin comes in contact with LidoBand EZE, wash affected area immediately with soap and water.

Storage:

Keep stored in a cool, dry place. Do not leave bands in direct sunlight or allow exposure to high temperatures. Do not re-use the band.
