How long have you been using VETIGEL®?
“I’ve been using VETIGEL since the Spring of 2024.”
What do you like about VETIGEL®?
“It’s sterile and it’s easy to store. I find it easy to administer and it’s safe to use in horses.”
Tell me about some of the procedures you’ve found benefited from the use of VETIGEL®?
“I used it when I biopsied and debrided a squamous cell carcinoma from a penis. It’s also really useful in standing open castrations; if bleeding I tie them and then use VETIGEL®. I had it on hand for an enucleation, but didn’t need it.”
What other procedures would you consider using it in?
“As mentioned above I had it on hand for an enucleation, but luckily, I didn’t need to use it. I’d definitely consider it for hoof keratomas, and VETIGEL® may have a role in equine dental extractions.”
Would you recommend VETIGEL® to other veterinarians?
“I already have, to both equine and small animal veterinarians. So would recommend any veterinarian who is looking for a haemostasis solution to consider it.”
