  • Title: Technical note: a double L intestinal cannula for cattle.
    Author: Streeter MN, Barron SJ, Wagner DG, Hibberd CA, Owens FN, McCollum FT.
    Journal: J Anim Sci; 1991 Jun; 69(6):2601-7. PubMed ID: 1885373.
    Abstract:
    A double L-shaped intestinal cannula was developed in an attempt to overcome problems observed previously with simple T-type cannulas. The cannula was constructed from cyclopolyvinyl chloride water pipe fittings. Construction materials were fairly rigid, but by connecting the split cannula pieces with elastic castration bands the cannula had some flexibility. Placing a short cone over the exposed cannula barrel reduced mechanical damage to the intestine. The double L cannula required a much smaller incision in the intestine during surgical insertion than a T-type cannula; it also simplified replacement. Construction is described; use and performance of the cannula has been satisfactory.
