Specs & features.
The Buhner needle is a long, slightly curved, solid-metal needle with a dull or semi-blunt point and a large, wide eye near the tip. Unlike standard surgical needles, it is specifically designed to be passed blindly through thick, subcutaneous tissue without lacerating it. The "small" variant (typically around 20 cm or 8 inches) is tailored for smaller ruminants, preventing overshooting or tissue trauma.
No specifications have been listed.
- Material: Constructed from high-grade medical or German stainless steel, ensuring rust resistance, durability, and the ability to withstand frequent sterilization.
- Large Needle Eye: Features an oversized, flattened or rectangular hole that accommodates wide Buhner vaginal tapes or umbilical tapes (up to 6–8 mm in width) without catching or shredding.
- Ergonomic Shape: The gently curved shaft allows the veterinarian to safely guide the needle deeply around the perivulvar tissue.
