WSAVA guidelines recommend full mouth
radiographs are perfromed as part of the dental
patient diagnostic work-up. Dental radiographs aid
in diagnosis and guide treatment, they are also an
important part of the legal record.
iM3 recommends pre and post operative dental
radiographs for all patients.
The Vet-Tome and all components should be
maintained according to the manufacturer’s
recommendations and in-line with infection control
procedures for the safety and well-being
of patients. Improper use, e.g. missing maintenance
or non-compliance with our Instructions or the use
of accessories and spare parts which are not released
by iM3 invalidates all claims under warranty and any
other claims.
Read all documentation before using the
Vet-Tome.
The iM3 Vet-Tome is an automated veterinary
specific 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 replaceable ultra-thin stainless steel
tips/blades coupled with the mechanical in and
out action generated by the handpiece to cut the
periodontal ligament similar to a Luxator (hand
instrument).
The mechanical action and thin flexible blade allows
easy insertion into the periodontal ligament (PDL)
and alveolus (tooth socket) coupled with the side to
side movement by the operator cutting the PDL.
Skilled application
The Vet-Tome is an automated periotome intended
for use as a tool for tooth extraction in animals by
veterinarians or adequately trained professionals.
