The instrument is constructed from high quality components and materials. It is used for electronic immobilization of animals using a very low electrical current. The immobilization is not stressful to the animals, and to date, field trials have shown no negative effects, even on pregnant animals - at any stage of pregnancy.

The primary use of the immobilizer is for electronic restraint of cattle, especially during branding, de-horning, castration, hoof trimming or other minor treatment procedures. The immobilizer has also been used successfully on horses, sheep, goats, camels.
