SolVet Lidobands XL Bander

LidoBand XL 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 240 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 XL. Because lidocaine is used in LidoBand XL, change gloves frequently while handling multiple bands. A tension band applicator (XL Banders type) is recommended. Follow the manufacturer's directions for the tension band applicator when applying LidoBand XL. 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).
