Vet-Tome. The Atraumatic extraction system
The atraumatic extraction system that greatly reduces extraction time and saves bone!
The iM3 Vet-tome® is a major advancement in tooth extraction.
The patented Vet-Tome is an automated periotome with foot pedal operation that offers precise tooth extraction with minimal or no alveolar bone loss and less trauma. The electric Vet-Tome uses ultra-thin (flexible) stainless steel tips/blades coupled with the mechanical in and out action generated by the handpiece to cut the periodontal ligament. The mechanical action and thin flexible blade allows easy insertion into the periodontal ligament (PDL) space and alveolus (tooth socket) coupled with the side to side movement by the operator cuts the PDL. Unlike other Luxator periotomes suitable for human teeth the Vet-Tome tips are fine and flexible allowing easy insertion into the PDL whilst the tip follows the curve of the canine tooth root.
- Ultra-thin tips allow easy insertion into the periodontal ligament space on all canine and feline teeth.
- The flexible tips bend (unlike rigid tips) and follow the curve of the root, the tip (40mm long) will reach the apex of most canine teeth, making it ideal for canine extraction.
- The mechanical in and out action of the tip generated by the electric handpiece advances the tip into the PDL, reducing the physical work normally associated with extractions.
- The non-twisting action of the Vet-Tome results in minimal tissue damage (see video below) compared to units that oscillate or use vibration.
- The Vet-Tome tip does not generate heat.
- Ten adjustable power settings and different sized veterinary specific tips for everything from small cats to large dogs, even lions.
- The Vet-Tome operates independently from your air driven dental unit allowing both units to function at the same time, increasing overall dental efficiencies.
- Educational extraction videos performed by Dr Anthony Caiafa BVSc BDSc MANZCVS are supplied with the system.
- Satisfaction guaranteed or your money back - manufactured by iM3.
Supplied with 2 standard flat and 2 heavy Stainless steel replaceable tips.

Testimonial
"The Vet-Tome gives you the ability to perform a truly minimally invasive extraction, which means more rapid socket healing and less pain for the pet. In my humble opinion, the Vet-Tome will be a game changer for the veterinary profession".
Anthony Caiafa BVSc BDSc MANZCVS
" Our Vet-Tome arrived yesterday and we had occasion to use it across two of our four dental surgeries today. Both occasions unexpectedly. It is an absolute revolution. In under 60 minutes I extracted over 20 teeth including 4 canines without gingival flaps or osseous burring using the most conservative of settings and no experience of the device. I am certain that in one case it saved me over an hour of awkward mandibular flap creation and burring to remove two lower canines with roots extending all the way to Hades. No extraneous gingival trauma, easy closures and a patient freed from awful dental trauma.
Today, with the Vet-Tome, I had one of the most satisfying professional experiences of my career!
Thank you

“The Vet-Tome has been a revelation. My first case was a young farm collie that had fractured all four canines. After a brief look at the instructions I was able to extract each tooth in less than ten minutes with minimal effort and no bone damage on the post-op radiographs. My veterinary nurse commented on my good humour which is a first when doing a dental. Since then my colleagues and I have gained more confidence using the two sizes of tips on other teeth in dogs and cats. We rarely do a surgical extraction now with obvious benefits for the patients. The dread of difficult extractions has gone and we almost enjoy a morning of dentals.”
