we have the same as deemus for cat spay kits, except we also include lint-free hand towels in the kit and towel clips are packed separately.

for the bitch spay, it is the same except bigger instruments and x-ray swabs are packed instead of plain ones.

we pack lots of spare instruments in single packs too, in case the vet needs more than what is in the kit or an intrument is dropped etc.

we also have three other kits - dog castrate, stitch-up and eye kit - but i never remember exactly what is in those as the cat spay is what our vets tend to use for castrates, lump removals, stitch-ups etc. the eye kit has bloody loads of little instruments that are a pain to clean because they're so fiddly, that's all i remember, sorry:-p

Morning Lolita,

Our place has a general/cat spay kit which contains: 1 x needleholders, 1 x rat toothed forceps, 1 x plain dressing forceps, 4 x artery forceps (2 curved, 2 straight), scalpel handle, needle pack, 4 x towel clips, 5 x swabs and a TST strip.

The bigger bitch spay/exciting procedure kit has pretty much the same but bigger instruments, some alliss tissue forceps. Loads more atery forceps of differing sizes.

Hope that helps
