Always check the individual product specification and compatibility before use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHygiene deserves particular attention because ropes can become contaminated during assisted delivery. Follow the manufacturer’s cleaning and disinfection instructions after use, then allow reusable ropes to dry thoroughly before storage. Avoid putting damp ropes straight into a closed calving kit, as retained moisture and contamination can compromise hygiene and make equipment harder to inspect before its next use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eExpert tip: prepare and inspect your complete calving kit before the first expected calving date rather than discovering a damaged rope during an emergency.
