Covault Castration Hook 20 cm Probe Point

The Covault Castration Hook, 20 cm with a probe point differs from the Snook pattern principally in the form of its tip. Where a Snook terminates in a comparatively fine point, the Covault carries a rounded probe point. This modification has a clear veterinary clinical purpose. The hook is introduced blind along the body wall, and a rounded tip is far less likely to catch or puncture bowel, bladder or spleen if it contacts them during that movement.

Veterinary surgeons who are cautious about blind introduction, and those teaching the technique to students, frequently prefer the probe point for this reason. The hook still engages and retrieves the broad ligament effectively. The 20 cm length matches the Snook pattern.

• Rounded probe point in place of the finer Snook tip
• Reduces the risk of catching or puncturing bowel, bladder or spleen
• Advantageous during blind introduction along the body wall
• Frequently preferred when teaching spay technique to students
• Retains full effectiveness in engaging the broad ligament
• 20 cm length matching the Snook pattern
