Bigger bulls call for a stronger dose of local anesthesia at castration. Solvet LidoBand EZE™ is built for bulls over 400 lb, delivering a latex rubber band infused with 400 mg of lidocaine, the highest concentration in the LidoBand line, for local anesthesia right at the castration site.

Once placed around the base of the scrotum, the lidocaine quickly diffuses through the skin and stays concentrated in the local tissue thanks to vasoconstriction from the band. A tension band applicator (T1 Banders type) is recommended, and you should follow the manufacturer's directions for that applicator when applying LidoBand EZE.

Because lidocaine is present in each band, wear gloves when handling or applying LidoBand EZE, and change gloves frequently while working through multiple bands. Latex properties shift with temperature, so apply bands between 60°F and 85°F to avoid breakage from cold or heat, and store bands in a cool, dry place, out of direct sunlight. Bands should never be reused.

Castration always carries some tetanus risk, so it's highly recommended to vaccinate with a tetanus toxoid at least three weeks before castration, or provide tetanus antitoxin at the time of the procedure. Talk with your veterinarian about the right tetanus prevention plan for your operation. LidoBand EZE should not be used on animals with a known lidocaine hypersensitivity.
