Veterinary Dental Vet-Tome Mechanical Extraction Periotome

The Veterinary Dental Vet-Tome Mechanical Extraction Periotome makes surgical and simple extractions in dogs and cats more efficient and less frustrating.

This device is strongly recommended for any veterinary practice performing 1 or more dentistry extraction procedures per week. 

The Vet-Tome is an automated peristome with foot pedal operation that offers precise tooth extraction with minimal or no alveolar bone removal and less trauma. 

The up-and-down oscillation moves down the periodontal ligament space between the root and the bone to mobilize teeth quicker for expedited extractions with minimal elevation required.

The iM3 Vet-tome is a major advancement in tooth extraction.  Dr Brett Beckman, veterinary dentist, demonstrates its use for the difficult maxillary 3rd premolar in a dog.

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).

Supplied with 2 standard flat for cats and small dogs and 2 heavy Stainless steel tips for med to large dogs. The Vet-Tome decreases hand fatigue and speeds up the procedure time with less trauma to the patient.

Please note: closure of extraction sites is still recommended with the exception of some incisor extractions

I love my vet-tome

I've been using the vet-tome for at least four years and I love it. Since it is only strong enough to break down the periodontal ligament... I find it very safe to use. You also can't use the instrument to create torque...so it ensures you're not breaking any roots. I find it's my most reliable instrument for the most fragile mouths and jaws. It also makes lower canine extractions much more straight forward whether you incorporate a flap or not.


Veterinary Dental Vet Tome - Standard Flat Tip 5 Pack:

The Vet-Tome standard Flat tip is a thin blade designed to follow (bend & curve) the tooth root and cut the Periodontal Ligament. Stainless Steel and autoclavable. Pack of 5 tips. Vet-Tome Standard Flat Tip

Veterinary Dental Vet Tome - Heavy Flat Tip 5 Pack:

The Vet-Tome heavy tip is thicker than the standard flat (V2001) designed to be more robust and therefore lasting longer. The disadvantage is the tip does not bend & curve following the tooth root and should only be used on straight tooth roots. Stainless Steel and autoclavable. Pack of 5 tips. Vet-Tome Heavy Flat Tip

FAQ's

  1. How does the Vet-Tome help reduce trauma during extractions in veterinary dentistry?

    The Vet-Tome is an automated periotome that uses ultra-thin, flexible stainless steel tips and a mechanical in-and-out action to sever the periodontal ligament with minimal or no alveolar bone loss. This design allows for precise tooth extraction with less trauma to the patient, often eliminating the need for gingival flaps or bone removal.


  2. Can I use the Vet-Tome for extracting teeth in small animals like cats and small dogs?

    Yes, the Vet-Tome comes with different sized veterinary-specific tips, including ultra-thin tips that allow easy insertion into the periodontal ligament space on all canine and feline teeth. This makes it suitable for use in small animals.


  3. How does the Vet-Tome help improve efficiency during dental procedures?

    The Vet-Tome's mechanical action reduces the physical work normally associated with extractions, decreasing hand fatigue and speeding up procedure time. Its operation is independent from air-driven dental units, allowing both units to function simultaneously and increasing overall dental efficiencies.


  4. Can I use the Vet-Tome for patients with fragile jaws or deep-rooted teeth?

    Yes, the Vet-Tome's flexible tips bend and follow the curve of the root, reaching the apex of most canine teeth. This feature, combined with its precise action, makes it ideal for extracting deep-rooted teeth and is particularly beneficial in patients with fragile jaws, reducing the risk of fractures.


  5. How does the Vet-Tome contribute to better patient outcomes post-extraction?

    By minimizing tissue damage and preserving alveolar bone, the Vet-Tome promotes faster healing and reduces postoperative discomfort. Its atraumatic extraction process leads to less pain and swelling, enhancing overall patient recovery.
