Adjustable Hoof Tester

Description

Overview

The Adjustable Hoof Tester from Intrace USA is a plier-style diagnostic instrument. Vets use it to apply focused pressure across the hoof wall and sole. This helps localize pain and identify the source of lameness. Surgical-grade stainless steel construction meets the same FDA, CE, and ISO 13485 compliance standards as the rest of our catalog. It withstands repeated sterilization for daily clinical or field use.
