Prolapse Harness
The most effective and gentle "antidote" for a prolapsed ewe.
Used to hold a vaginal prolapse in long enough to get the ewe to her lambing date.
The soft red nylon webbing minimizes risk of tissue damage around the udder and vulva (a much too frequent result of homemade twine efforts).
Used in conjunction with a prolapse retainer.
Instructions/Diagrams:
Benefits
- Allows you to help the ewe carry her lambs to full term.
- If prolapses are treated when small, the success rate is very high.
- Makes the ewe more comfortable and able to urinate on her own.
- The neck, back, and leg straps each adjust to fit ewes of all sizes.
- We find that these harnesses will last for many years with moderate care.
How does it work? When a ewe strains, her neck drops and her back arches. This pulls the cross webbing of the harness tighter against the vulva and also pulls the retainer (if one is used) into the ewe. Most ewes soon cease to strain. Although ewes can lamb past a harness, we remove it when lambing starts.

Good to have just in case a ewe decides to prolapse. Works for both vaginal and uterine prolapses in ewes.

Love this harness! We’re a ways from vets, so I had one on hand for a few years before we actually needed it. When we did it was super easy to put on, simple to adjust and worked perfectly! So glad we had it and I definitely feel more confident to deal with prolapse.

Bad fit, bad geometry, inadequate adjustability, accompanied instructions show a different design than product.
After many adjustments, it has become clear that this harness is not suitable, as it does not allow space for feces to come out.
We waited through a many months backorder for this product to show up, only to be sorely disappointed.
Another demonstration of the inconsistent quality of Premier products, despite advertising suggesting otherwise.

Works great! I already ordered a second one.

Fits my ewes without prolapse perfectly. Unfortunately it was to late for the ewe that really needed it. At least I will have an extra one for when I need it.
