Galileo Pet Finder Uranochip Nano

The veterinarian requires thinner and less traumatic needles

In recent years, there has been a clear trend towards the ownership of smaller breed dogs, as well as cats and other species (rabbits, ferrets, birds, reptiles) that require injectors with thinner needles, such as the Uranochip^® nano.

Furthermore, of all the injections performed by the veterinarian (vaccination, antibiotics or antiparasitic drugs), microchip implantation is the one that uses the thickest needle (12 G needle equivalent to 1950-2235 mm) and, consequently, is perceived as the most traumatic by the pet owner and the veterinarian.

But even with this miniaturization of the microchip, the needle is still thicker than the one usually used by veterinarians in other clinical procedures. Therefore, sharpening the needle is essential, especially when identifying puppies and small animals.

The pain caused by needles depends on the length of the needle used, the diameter and the geometry of the tip.

Thanks to the new Galileo Pet Finder^® Uranochip^® Nano, the veterinarian can use a needle that is 50% thinner than that of standard microchips.

To ensure optimal skin penetration, Galileo Pet Finder^® Uranochip^® Nano incorporates an injector with a silicone-coated needle, which is sharper and therefore less traumatic, allowing the veterinarian to be more committed to animal welfare.
