Gentle insertion and careful application: The tapered tip allows easy insertion and removal of the catheter, prevents injury to the sow and ensures safe, successful insemination.

Secure hold and reflux protection: The solid foam head provides an optimal fit in the cervix and prevents reflux. This allows breeders and piglet producers to benefit from efficient semen delivery and high fertility.

SafeLock system and flexible shaft: The 3-tier notch at the end of the catheter holds the tube reliably, while the flexible shaft allows for easy, precise handling.

Non-absorbent foam and ergonomic design: The special Foamtip® catheter does not absorb semen, supports even distribution and increases the fertilisation rate in Pig Breeding.

Sterile packed and without handle: The insemination pipettes are sterile packed and meet the high hygiene requirements. Also ideal in combination with insemination aids, perfect for professionals in breeding farms and insemination stations.

SafeBlue® - the innovative hygiene concept

Successful insemination based on 3 pillars: sperm quality, time of insemination and, last but not least, hygiene. This is where the SafeBlue concept comes in:

  • clean and protected from bacterial contamination at all times
  • each catheter is sterilised and individually packaged in a protective sleeve, where it remains germ-free until insertion
  • Protective sheath: no contamination of the catheter during insertion; the catheter tip is only pushed through the sheath inside the vagina
  • Catheter tip is already provided with sperm-friendly lubricant, no need to handle lubricants during insemination
  • no loss of time due to time-consuming preparation: dry cleaning of the vulva is sufficient
  • Perforation line for easy tearing off of the protective cover
  • higher pregnancy and farrowing rates
