OB Snares

OB Snares (Obstetrical Snares) are essential veterinary instruments used to assist in challenging animal deliveries, especially during difficult calving, lambing, or foaling procedures. Designed to gently loop around the fetus’s limbs or head, OB snares provide controlled and effective traction to aid in safe and efficient delivery. Commonly used with OB handles, these tools offer enhanced control and reduce stress on both the animal and the practitioner. Crafted from durable stainless steel wire or high-tensile nylon-coated cable, OB snares are flexible, corrosion-resistant, and suitable for repeated use in farm or clinical environments. Available in various lengths and loop configurations, they accommodate a wide range of species and obstetrical scenarios. Some models feature magnetic tips for easier placement and retrieval during deep or obstructed births. Whether you’re a veterinarian or livestock professional, OB snares are a must-have for your obstetrical tool kit, providing the strength, safety, and reliability needed for successful animal deliveries.
