Abstract
Abstract This is a method of and means for securing a prolapsed vagina in cattle. The means used takes the form of a novel staple which, by means of a pliers-type instrument, can be inserted internally and thrust through affected muscle and tissue to accommodate securement to an accompanying retention plate deposited externally to the animal. Both the staple head and plate are enlarged relative to the prongs used in the design. The method contemplates the use of such means to secure the prolapsed vagina to the interior, proximate muscle area such that a desired condition may be effected and preserved.
