Hoof Tester
Premium stainless steel hoof tester designed for detecting lameness and localized sensitivity in equine hooves. Features adjustable jaws and a smooth squeeze mechanism for diagnosis.
The professional equine hoof tester is an essential diagnostic veterinary instrument designed to pinpoint areas of sensitivity, localized pain, bruising, or deep-seated abscesses within the horse’s hoof structure. Manufactured from high-density, surgical-grade stainless steel, this instrument features broad, rounded jaw tips that apply gentle, controlled, and uniform pressure to the sole, frog, and hoof wall without puncturing the tissue. The smooth-pivoting rivet joint and high-leverage handles allow the veterinarian to sense the animal’s reaction accurately and adjust the squeezing force with precision. A crucial tool for diagnosing lameness, sole bruising, navicular disease, or thrush, this hoof tester is designed to resist bending, rust, and chemical damage. Fully autoclavable and built to last, it is a key diagnostic asset in any equine veterinary hospital, farrier service, or mobile veterinary unit.
