Abstract
A veterinary appliance useful for treatment of edematous tissue, such as an edematous prolapsed bovine cervix, includes a flexible band member adapted to fit around the edematous tissue. One end of the band member is affixed to a housing and the other end is operably connected to a roller that is rotatably supported by the housing. Rotation of the roller in a predetermined direction will cause the effective length of the band member to thereby cause an even squeezing pressure to the edematous tissue.
