VAS-3 Veterinary Arthroscope Set for Small Animal Joint Diagnosis and Treatment

30-degree angle on a 4x175mm arthroscope gives you teh field of view you need in tight canine stifles or feline elbows—we've found the working length strikes a good balance for most small joint work without sacrificing maneuverability.

The set includes the sheath and obturator for atraumatic insertion, plus a punch forcep that's actually sharp enough for clean tissue sampling; you'll want to check the jaw alignment on arrival, as we've seen occasional variance in batch runs from the Chinese facility.

It's certified SGS, so the stainlss steel meets a known standard, but don't expect same edge retention as premium German punches—it's fine for routine diagnostics, just not for heavy repetitive use on dense fibrous tissue.

Primary applications cover otoscopy and laparoscopy alongside arthroscopy, but honestly, the 4mm diameter limits it to small animal work; you wouldn't use this for equine joints, and the 175mm length makes abdominal access in larger dogs a bit tight.

We usually keep 20 units or so in stock, but lead time stretches to 3-4 weeks when we're between container shipments; the protective carton with foam insert is adequate for storage, though we recommend a dedicated sterilization tray for the sheath and obturator.

MOQ is 5 sets, and we provide COA with each batch—HPLC purity isn't applicable here, but the SGS cert covers matrial composition and dimensional tolerance, which is what most buyers actually need for regulatory compliance.
