Hoof Nipper / Trimmer

Description

Overview

The Hoof Nipper / Trimmer from Intrace USA is a cutting instrument. Vets use it to trim excess hoof horn during routine hoof maintenance. 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.

Key Features of the Hoof Nipper Trimmer

We build and inspect every instrument in this line to the same standard as our full surgical catalog.

Spring-loaded jaws return to the open position after each cut. A compound-leverage design reduces the hand strength needed for repeated trims. Stainless steel jaws hold a sharp cutting edge.

Who Uses This Instrument

Used alongside a hoof knife during routine hoof care in cattle, goats, and other livestock.

Care and Maintenance

Clean this instrument promptly after each use, autoclave according to standard sterilization protocol, and inspect the working end before every use to confirm proper function. Proper care extends the working life of this stainless steel instrument significantly.

Compliance and Quality

As a result, the stainless steel resists corrosion. It keeps its edge through repeated autoclave cycles.

We manufacture every instrument to FDA, CE, and ISO 13485 standards and inspect it before shipping from our Atlanta, GA facility.
