Applications

Practical pole-syringe applications for difficult animal-handling situations

When getting close to the animal is difficult

A pole syringe allows the syringe and needle to be brought to the animal while the user works from a greater physical distance. It can be useful where an animal is difficult to approach, access is restricted, or the working environment makes close handling impractical.
