Does anyone have a Burdizzo?
How close do the jaws of a Burdizzo come together? It appears the jaws actually make contact. I would think this would cut rather that just crush anything as expected.

The jaws do not make contact. When closed, there is a small gap.
They will crush the spermatic cords, however.

Thanks for the info, do you have any idea how big the gap is?

Guessing as it's been a long time since we used them on a bull, but maybe 1/8 inch.

Re: Burdizzo question
The purpose of a burdizzo is not to crush the semantic cord but to kill the flow of blood to the testicle. Animal cords are brittle and that happens when the cord is clamped. in a human whose cord is more elastic, the cords and veins bounce back not depriving the testicle the flow of blood hence it doesn't die.

Re: Burdizzo question
That is no doubt why in a Burdizzo castration video that originated from the EunuchMaker site, the clamps were left on the guy for a long time, long enough for irreparable damage to occur? The Burdzzos (two) were closed on the hopefully consenting guy by another guy, which at least ensured accurate positioning and proper closure. Judging by the sounds made by the sub, it was very painful, at least initially.Missouri_Steer wrote: ↑Thu Dec 26, 2019 9:26 pm The purpose of a burdizzo is not to crush the semantic cord but to kill the flow of blood to the testicle.

Re: Burdizzo question
Thanks for the info. I almost bought a burdizzo . After reading your post I see it would be wasted money. I've done a bunch of testicle stirring. I just wanted to make sure I got the job done.
