Vetiqo - Surgical castration of "Castro"

The model "Castro" enables the training of various invasive skills in the first week of life of a piglet - from handling to the surgical castration. With the skin-like scrotum and the detailed testicles, the castration module simulates the male gonads of a piglet. In addition to the two testicles, the epididymis and spermatic cords are reproduced in detail. This detailed simulation enables training of the surgical incision, localisation, advancement and separation of the testicles as well as aftercare of the surgical wound.

After a surgical incision through the outer skin, the testicles can be moved forward, the spermatic cords can be cut and the wound can be treated. In addition to castration, the testicle module also enables controlled training of tail docking. After successful training, the module can be exchanged with only one hand movement and Castro is ready for the next application.

The training of i.m. injections, for example in the context of iron injection, can be simulated on the integrated i.m. module. After repeated use, the i.m. module can also be easily replaced.
