ReproArms

There are several uniquely engineered and designed ReproArms. Utilization of ReproArm technology reduces shoulder and arm strain on the practitioner. The ReproArm allows for safer and faster pregnancy diagnosis and fetal aging. Regular Arm: 32" 81 cm used for most bovine extension arm ultrasounding Shorty Arm: 23" 59 cm used for heifers and short breds in a hydraulic chute Mini Arm: used for small ruminant and camelids

What diameter is the ReproArm? +

The ReproArm is 3.5 cm (1.4 in.) in diameter. ReproScan chose this size to increase the surface area of the tip to help reduce the concern about rectal perforations and to make it easier to hold on to. Surface area of a sphere is 4πr² so the optimum radius of the ReproArm is quite important

What is the incidence of rectal perforations? +

Although rare, rectal perforations can and do occur. There are thousands of ReproArms and other types of extension arm ultrasound units in the field and reports of rectal perforations are seldom discussed in veterinary literature. That said, everyone operating a ReproArm should be aware of the risk of rectal perforations, receive some training and have thorough understanding of the handling of the ReproArm.
