We've been shiping these for a while now, and the 18-piece configuration pretty much covers what you need for small animal eye work—forceps, scissors, speculums, and needle holders all in one set. The stainlss steel holds up well under repeated autoclaving at 134°C, which is what most clinics run, so you're not going to see rust or warping after a few cycles.
Buyers usually ask about the mirror polish because it cuts glare under the microscope—basically, it's better than a matte finish for this kind of precision work, though not essential if you're just doing basic procedures. Lead time is typically 20 days or so from order, but we usually have stock, so confirm if you're in a hurry. Bulk pricing kicks in around 50 units—give or take—though we can quote for smaller lots too. One thing that catches people off guard is that the warranty is one year, but that's from the manufacturer, not form us, so you'll need to handle claims through them.
Actually, for cataract removal and corneal suturing, the ergonomics matter more than most specs—the handles are balanced so your hand doesn't cramp during longer surgeries. The set isn't ideal for equine or large animal work, just so you know—the instruments are sized for cats and small dogs, not horses.
Anyway, the CE and ISO 13485 certifications are there, but we don't always get asked for them until order's placed. Most buyers go with teh full set rather than picking individual pieces, even though the 5-lb box is a bit heavier than you'd expect for 18 tools. The speculums come in two sizes, but we've had vets ask for a third size—doesn't exist in this model, so just a heads-up.
Our standard MOQ for this set is 10 units, but we can sometimes accommodate smaller trial orders—just reach out and we'll see what we can do.
Lead time is typically 15–20 business days for stock orders. Customized sets may take a bit longer, around 25–30 days.
