Most of the week is not orthopaedics. It is spays, masses that have to come off, and a foreign body from something swallowed on a walk.

Soft tissue surgery makes up a large part of the surgical workload in most practices. It is the work that fills the schedule, case after case.

We keep the whole soft tissue range in our own warehouse, ready to ship, not in production and not on a lead time.

Soft tissue instruments, by reference, on our site. Link in bio.

Two hospitals can ask for the same reference and receive different prices, not because they called on a quiet week, but because the final price can depend on the quantity purchased, the size of the buyer and the purchasing conditions in each country.

That is how surgical material is often priced.

At Blue, each reference has a published price on the website, so you can see the cost before asking for a quote.

No waiting to find out whether the reference fits your case and your budget.

A locking plate is not simply a stronger plate.

With a conventional plate, stability comes from compressing the plate against the bone. With a locking plate, each screw locks into the plate itself, creating a fixed-angle construct.

That means stability does not rely on plate-to-bone compression in the same way, which can help preserve the blood supply beneath the plate.

It is a different fixation strategy, chosen for the case in front of you.

Blue was founded in 2016 by veterinary surgeons who spent years on the other side of the operating table.

We didn‘t start as a distributor, we built the tray we wanted to open. Ten years later, every reference in our warehouse still has to pass the exact same test: would we want this in our hands during a case?

Built by surgeons for surgeons, with specialized support when you need it and lifetime warranty on manufacturing.

A decade, side by side with those who lead the future of veterinary surgery.

Everything we make, on our site. Link in bio.

Three suppliers, three quotes, three different numbers for the same reference. That is how buying a surgical part normally works.

We took that step out years ago. Every reference on our site carries its price on the page, and it is the same price anywhere in Europe, for a hospital ordering twenty as for a surgeon ordering one.

Nothing to request, nobody in the middle deciding what it costs you, and the part is already in our own warehouse.

Reference, price and stock, all on our site. Link in bio.

Laterolateral (side-to-side) intestinal anastomosis: a single firing, a complete seal

Intestinal resection and anastomosis is one of the most technically demanding procedures in small animal practice, and the instrument in your hand can make the difference between an uneventful recovery and dehiscence.

The gastrointestinal anastomosis linear cutter (GIA) does in one firing what manual suturing takes multiple steps to achieve: it transects the tissue and applies a double-staggered staple row to both luminal edges at once, creating an immediate haemostatic seal.

What the literature shows:

White (2008): 15 dogs, mean anastomosis time of 7.7 minutes, no intraoperative complications, all patients recovered from surgery.
Jardel and colleagues (École Nationale Vétérinaire d'Alfort, 2011): 30 dogs operated by supervised junior residents with limited prior training. Mean duration 15 ± 12 minutes, 25 of 30 uneventful recoveries, one anastomotic leakage. Fast and safe even in non-expert hands following appropriate training.

Genoni and colleagues (2024): endovascular GIA used safely in dogs up to 10 kg and cats, across five referral institutions and 25 patients, with a median follow-up of 126 days and no major complications.

Ready to perform anastomoses with confidence?

We stock the disposable linear cutter staplers designed precisely for this procedure:

Ref. GH553 (55 × 3.85 mm), for short-segment resections and anastomosis in medium-sized patients
Ref. QAB803 (80 × 3.8 mm), for longer resections and larger-calibre gastrointestinal tissue

Both feature a double-staggered staple row, an integrated scalpel blade, a retractable handle with audible locking mechanism, and an anti-misfire safety system. A cartridge is included with each instrument, and sterile reloads are available separately (Ref. GK553 and Ref. QB803).

During our Advanced Knee Surgery Course in Madrid, we asked Dr. Esperanza Ribes, DVM, PGCert Orthopaedics & Traumatology (UCM), GPCert(Surg) a simple question: what is it really like to work with Blue?

Her answer wasn't about implants.

It was about knowing she can reach us whenever she needs to. About having someone available to discuss a case, answer a question or help solve a problem. And about no longer needing to keep a large inventory, because any order placed during working hours is delivered anywhere in Europe within 48 hours.

Accessibility isn't something that happens by chance. It's something we've built into the way we work.

Eight years ago, we chose WhatsApp as our main communication tool. Not because it was the latest technology, but because it made sense for veterinary surgeons. A phone call can interrupt a consultation, distract someone during surgery or block the clinic line when an owner needs urgent assistance. A message waits until there's the right moment to reply.

For the past eight years, this has been how hundreds of veterinary surgeons across Europe have worked with us. Between appointments. During a lunch break. At the end of a busy day. Always at their own pace, knowing there's a real person on the other side, with a response within one hour, Monday to Friday.

What we never expected was how those conversations would evolve.

Over time, they became much more than order requests. Surgeons began sharing challenging cases, asking for second opinions, discussing surgical planning and exchanging ideas. The conversations that begin during courses like the one in Madrid often continue long after the final procedure has finished.

Dr. Ribes described accessibility as one of Blue's greatest advantages. For us, it's simply where everything starts.

Our instruments, fast delivery, lifetime manufacturing warranty and every service we provide only have value if we're there when a surgeon needs us most.
