The Vet-Tome is an automated periotome with foot pedal operation that offers precise tooth extraction with minimal or no alveolar bone loss and less trauma. The electric Vet-Tome uses ultra-thin stainless steel tips/blades coupled with the mechanical in and out action generated by the handpiece to cut the periodontal ligament. Vet-Tome tips are fine and flexible allowing easy insertion into the periodontal ligament while the tip follows the curve of the canine tooth root.
