The latest improved and possibly the instrument by which the most perfect spermatic cord hemostasis is accomplished—regardless of age and size of the animal—is Dunn's safety emasculator (Fig. 8). The advantage which this instrument possesses over all others consists of a beveled extension to the crushing (female) jaw. By means of this beveled-extension feature the spermatic cord is drawn into the space be- tween it and the upper blade and gradually compressed before the crush- ing and cutting is done. This simply means that when the instrument is closed on the cord, the stump of the cord itself is affected by all degrees of crushing, from barely being touched at the top of the beveled portion of the lower blade to being completely severed—by crushing and cutting—at the lower part of the upper blade. Handled in this manner the stump of the cord is fairly well sealed so that primary hemorrhage from it will be slight.
