A tool used to castrate livestock. It stretches a very heavy duty latex band open enough to allow you to fit the scrotum and testicles through. Then you simply release the handles and remove the tool leaving the latex band on. The band cuts off circulation and kills any tissue below it. The testicles and scrotum will fall off in a few weeks leaving a small scar. It can oslo be used on sheep and goats in castration, dehorning and tail docking. You can also dock puppies tails this way.
This method is normally used on young animales, If used for castrating larger animales a different type of tool is used ( calicrate bander, ez-bander ) they are fairly expensive. The bands are far tighter and stronger. It may be used on full grown bulls, but is overkill on anything that isn't too far along in it's development.
Elastrators are also used as a sex toy.
Dangerous? Yes. Playing is one thing, but making yourself sterile or accidentally castrating yourself is quite another. It's one of those things you can't undo, EVER. Think with your big head just once on this one.
Exciting? To some yes.
Painful? Yes, but that's part of the point.
The small elastrators ( ideal, sur-vet are good for play ( the ones that in the U.S. typically take the little green bands ) You can cause permanent damage or castrate yourself so be warned. If you leave the band on until your bits are numb and ice cold your really asking for trouble. There is quite a bit of pain so once you get off you will most likely be very ready to get rid of the band as well. Put a shoelace through the band when you put it on so you can easily pull it away from your body to cut it.
The large elastrators ( calicrate, ez-bander ) aren't really safe for play at all. The bands are very strong and the design of the tool takes all the stretch out of the band. It's tough and painful to get a stretched and crimped band off. The tools are really meant for the serious business of castrating large animales. Humans are small animales........
BTW it's not painless for animales either, they just put that on the packaging to make you feel better. If you don't believe me, try it yourself.

How long does it take for a elastrator to work on humans?
An elastrator, commonly used in veterinary practice for livestock, is not recommended for use on humans. If the device were hypothetically applied, the rubber band would restrict blood flow, potentially leading to tissue necrosis over several hours to days. However, using an elastrator on humans is dangerous and illegal, as it can cause severe pain and medical complications. It is crucial to seek appropriate medical care for any necessary procedures.
What do you use to castrate a male goat?
It depends on the age of the goat and the size of the testicles. Usually elastrator rings are used.
How do you band a young bull?
The method of banding depends on the age of the bull calf. If the bull is very young (less than 4 weeks of age), you can use an elastrator with the small green rings on the bull. The bull calf must be restrained and on its side with one leg held up before you can do this procedure. The elastrator has four prongs that, when the handle is squeezed, spreads apart stretching the green ring. Do this over the bull's testicles until you get right up to the neck of the scrotum past the testes. Release the elastrator and remove the tool, leaving the green ring at the neck of the scrotum.

How much does it cost to neuter a goat?

How do you band the testicles of a bull?
Use an elastrator. The rings that you would use for bull calves look like green Cheerios. Make sure the bull is restrained before you do this procedure, either by having someone help you hold the calf to the ground, or have him retrained in the squeeze chute with his head in the headgate so he doesn't move around excessively on you. Make sure you can count to 2 before slipping the band on; squeeze the elastrator (which'll widen the green band), slip the band over the testicles (making sure you have 2 testicles inside the band and not one or none), then release pressure on the handles of the elastrator when the band is on the neck of the scrotum (where the epididimus tubes are located) and not directly squeezing the testicles, as this would be very painful for the bull. Pull the elastrator out of the band now on the neck of the testicles and your done.
