Heiniger has launched a new clipper for farm and equine practices called Opal Xtend.

The company says the battery-operated, dual-speed clipper has been specifically designed for a close cut to improve hygiene and make treatments easier.

Hefin Rowlands from Heiniger said: “The Opal Xtend will help vets with accurate hair removal for everyday tasks such as TB testing.

"It has been developed to be quieter, which will reduce stress, and has an interchangeable battery system to enable uninterrupted operation during periods of extensive use.

“An LED battery indicator provides forewarning to operators and additional batteries can be swapped out quickly and easily.

"Each battery will last up to 4 hours and the second battery only takes just over an hour to recharge.

Heiniger claims that at 415 grams, the clipper is one of the lightest cordless models available.

Hefin added: “It is particularly well suited to preparing animals for skin testing, wound treatments and scans including ultrasounds.”

Heiniger says the clipper is also a good fit for agricultural and equine users looking for a reliable and dependable machine that can stand up to demanding use.
