"...Bone Injection Gun assisted intraosseous urography may be an effective and reliable alternative to intravenous urography in pediatric and adult human patients..." (Turkey 2003)


Intraosseous Fluid Therapy
Most small animal vets have experienced it: an animal is presented in shock (often acute hemorrhagic shock as a result of trauma), and intravenous fluids are needed stat. An alternative to central venous access is to place an intraosseous cannula and administer fluids or other drugs.

Use of an implant for IO infusion as supportive therapy for a pig with urethral obstruction caused by a polyp.
A Vietnamese pot-bellied pig with a urethral polyp was supported by total parenteral nutrition given through an intraosseous implant.

Evaluation of the Bone Injection Gun as a Method for Intraosseous Cannula Placement for Fluid Therapy in Adult Dogs
Objective: To evaluate the Bone Injection Gun (BIG) for placement of intraosseous cannulas through impact penetration and compare it with a standard Jamshidi bone marrow needle (JBMN) and to compare fluid delivery dynamics through each device.
