Bone marrow collection is necessary for diagnosing many clinical cases, yet many veterinary practitioners are reluctant to perform it routinely. The Veterinary B.I.G. can safely administer its needle into the bone marrow in just 0.02 seconds, so that bone marrow aspiration may be performed instantly.
Bone marrow aspiration with the Vet B.I.G.
The BIG (The Bone Injection Gun) is the world’s first automatic Intraosseous (IO) device that provides rapid, safe and easy intravascular access through the bone marrow. In Veterinary Medicine, the Vet B.I.G. is used mainly for bone marrow aspiration as well as for fluids and drugs administration.Impairment to any part of the bone marrow results in severe clinical problems; a dysfunctional marrow is incompatible with life. Therefore, bone marrow aspiration is an imperative diagnostic procedure in a number of routine clinical investigations. Some of the Indications are:Fever of Unknown Origin
Suspected Hemoparasites: Systemic Ehrlichiosis, Leishmaniasis, certain Mycotics.
Tumors staging: Mast Cell, Lymphomas, Carcinomas.
Unexplained and persistent changes in One cell line, either Decrease: Anemia, Neutropenia, Thrombocytopenia. or Increase: Polycythemia ,Neutrophilia, Lymphocytosis, Thrombocytosis.
Unexplained and persistent changes in more than one cell line, e.g.: Anemia and Thrombocytopenia, Anemia and Neutropenia.
The presence of abnormal cells in circulation: Rubrocytosis in the absence of a responsive anemia; Immature cells of any cell line; Mast cells, Macrophages, Neoplastic, or unidentifiable cells.
Hyperproteinemia or Monoclonal Gammopathies :suspected Multiple Myeloma,Feline Plasmacytoma, Ehrlichiosis, Leishmaniasis, Pyoderma, Lymphoma, Systemic Fungal Disease or Feline Infectious Peritonitis.
Unexplained Hypercalcemia. The Vet B.I.G. as the preferred alternative to IV access:
Gaining access to a veterinary patient’s systemic circulation can be challenging. Intravenous (IV) route is the most common practice; however, in certain circumstances, establishing an IV line and creating safe and reliable access to a veterinary patient’s circulation can be extremely difficult or even impossible.
Severe tissue damage resulting from burns, traumatic wounds, peripheral vascular disorders, or chronic sickness involving compromised hemodynamics, edemas, cardiac and liver disease, collapsed peripheral veins, renal insufficiency, and Neoplasias may require an alternative route for fast, safe, reliable, and effective access to a veterinary patient’s systemic circulation. The Vet B.I.G. uses the Intraosseous (IO) route for fluid and drug administration and has been established as a safe and effective alternative to standard IV infusion. Overige Veterinaire Producten
