Prolapse Retainer
Least-cost response to a vaginal
prolapse. Must be installed when the
prolapse is small and fresh (an hour
makes a difference).
A ewe can urinate and even lamb past
a prolapse retainer—though it’s better
to remove it when lambing begins.
Prolapse Retainer, 0.10 lb...........#559000 $2.31
Prolapse Harness
The most gentle “cure” for a prolapse.
If properly fitted it prevents ewes
from the straining that pushes a vaginal
prolapse back out. If prolapses are
treated early (when they are small), our
success rate has been very high.
The soft nylon webbing minimizes
risk of tissue damage around the udder
and vulva. The neck, back and leg
straps each adjust to fit ewes of all sizes.
Snap buckles enable easy attachment,
removal and adjustment. Wash in a
bucket of disinfectant between ewes.
Will last for years with reasonable care.
Prolapse Harness, 1 lb................#560000 $18.50
Clean the prolapse. Apply SuperLube (top right)
to it and push it gently, but completely, back inside
the ewe. Insert the spoon part of the retainer into
the vulva. Tie the strings to a clump of wool. If
there is no long wool, tie it to the 2 side straps of a
prolapse harness.

SuperLube ™ An all-purpose antiseptic lubricant that also kills micro-organisms. Protects tissue by reducing the abrasive effect of retainers, hands and gloves. Makes lambs that have “gone dry” in the ewe much easier to pull—by lubricating both the vaginal linings and the lamb. Will not irritate internal tissue. Squeeze bottles (8 oz and 16 oz) have flip-out nozzles to assist in placement of lubricant and prevent spillage. Fit into pockets and can be put into boxes without breaking or spilling. Keeps for a year if stored out of the sun. 8 oz, 0.80 lb..................................#550800 $4.40 16 oz, 1.50 lb.................................#550810 $7.50 1/2 gal, 4.10 lb............................. #550820 $21.40 8 oz 16 oz 1/2 gal Lambing & Kidding Aids OB Gloves Use to reduce risk of septicemia during assisted births.
