The Pneu-dart RDD Darts have a small charge in the end of the dart that is triggered on impact of the dart onto the target animal, this charge propels the plunger forward, delivering the medication.
The RDD's 'flash' on impact when the charge goes off to indicate a successful injection.
Gel Collars are a more humane version of a wire barb on a cannula of a dart. The gel collar holds the dart in the animal to ensure all the dosage of the dart is injected. The body heat of the animal will dissolve the gel collar after about 15 - 45 minutes, the dart then falls out.
Triport Injection is mainly used for dispensing thicker drugs, the three holes in the cannula of the dart provide both lateral and end point distribution, ensuring the best distribution of drug while minimizing ability of the dart to propel itself from the animal.
