Detailed Description
Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are illustrative and intended to be illustrative of the invention and are not to be construed as limiting the invention.
As shown in fig. 1-5, a feline imaging diagnostic fixture 1 for veterinary use of the present invention includes a torso support 3 that receives the torso 101 of a feline 100 and a skull support 5 that supports the head 103 of the feline 100.
The holding fixture 1 has a first configuration position in which the feline 100 is supported in a prone position P and a second configuration position in which the feline 100 is supported in a supine position S, fig. 1 and 4 show the holding fixture 1 adapted to support the feline 102 in the prone position P, and fig. 2 and 5 show the holding fixture 1 adapted to support the feline 102 in the supine position S.
Wherein the skull mount 5 comprises a first skull mount 50 and a second skull mount 52, the first skull mount 50 configured to support the head 103 of the feline 100 in the prone position P, and the second skull mount 52 configured to support the head 103 of the feline 100 in the supine position S. The first skull mount 50 is supported on the craniomaxillary 105 of the feline 100 and the second skull mount 52 is supported on the skull 107 of the feline 100.
The fixation device 1 comprises a support element 7, the support element 7 being adapted to support an anesthetic tube 9, which anesthetic tube can be inserted into the mouth of the feline 100.
The fixation device 1 comprises a single base 15, the torso support 3 being fixed to the base 15 by a plurality of supports 31, at least one of the skull support 5 and/or the support element 7 being arranged on said base 15 by removable fixation means. As shown in fig. 1-5, the support element 7 is arranged on the base 15 by means of removable fixing means 12, the fixing means 12 comprising respective inserts 123 formed on the support element 7, and seats 121 on the surface of the base 15 for housing the respective inserts 123. Likewise, the support member 7 includes a first support member 70 and a second support member 72, the first support member 70 for supporting the anesthesia tube 9 in the prone position P of the cat 102 and the second support member 72 for supporting the anesthesia tube 9 in the supine position S of the cat 102. As is apparent from fig. 4 and 5, the position of the anesthesia tube 9 varies depending on the prone or supine position of the cat 102 because of the varying distance from the anesthesia tube 9 to the cat's mouth 102 relative to the cat 102.
The skull support 5 is arranged to the torso support 3 by removable fixing means 19, the fixing means 19 comprising an insert 193 protruding from the skull support 5 and a corresponding seat 191 arranged at one end of the torso support 3, the seat 191 being configured to securely receive the insert 193. As shown in fig. 3, the insert 193 is disposed in both the first skull mount 50 in the prone position P of the cat 102 and the second skull mount 52 in the supine position S of the cat 102. The same torso support 3 may be used to support a first skull support 50 and a second skull support 52. The same applies to the first and second supports 70, 72, the inserts 123 of the first and second supports 70, 72 being interchangeably connectable with the base 15 by inserting the respective seats 121.
The immobilization device 1 can include a plurality of straps 17 that can lock onto the limb 109 and/or torso portion 101 of the feline 100. Specifically, the belt 17 includes: a pair of first straps 171 connected to the torso support frame 3 to clamp the torso portion 101 of the feline 100; a pair of second straps 172 attached to the base 15 to lock the extremity 109 of the feline 100 in the prone position P; a pair of third straps 173 connected to the first skull mount 50 to lock the limb 109 of the feline 100 in the prone position P; a pair of fourth straps 174 associated with the second skull support frame 52 to lock the limbs 109 of the feline 100 in the supine position S.
The first skull mount 50 and the second skull mount 52 comprise a pair of semi-cylindrical elements 55, 56 capable of receiving portions of limbs 109 of the feline 100. A pair of third straps 173 and a pair of fourth straps 174 are connected to the respective first and second skull support frames 50, 52 at the semi-cylindrical elements 55, 56.
The skull mount 5 can be selected from a set of skull mounts 5, the skull mount 5 being made up of a plurality of skull mounts 5 having different shapes and sizes, the shape and size of the skull mounts 5 being dependent on the shape and size of the head 103 of the feline 100.
The first skull mount 50 also includes a notch 57 that corresponds to the trachea when the cat 102 is in the prone position P.
A veterinary feline imaging diagnostic fixture 1 is convertible from a prone position P to a supine position S by replacing the first skull support 50 and the first support member 70 with the second skull support 52 and the second support member 72. In practice, the seat 191 on the torso support 3 and the seat 121 on the base 15 are both adapted to receive the respective inserts 193 and 123 of the first and second skull supports 50 and 52 and the first and second support elements 70 and 72.
Preferably, the torso support 3, the skull support 5, the base 115 and the support element 7 are made of a material such as carbon fibre. Preferably, all the components of the fixing device 1, except for the belt 17, are made of a material such as carbon fibre. This is because carbon fibers do not create artifacts in diagnostic images, and are particularly impact resistant and sterilizable, and the resin covering the carbon fibers is resistant to chemical products used in veterinary sterilization.
A veterinary feline imaging diagnostic fixture of the present invention can be properly assembled with the feline 100 in a CT scanning machine depending on its prone or supine position, and the same fixture 1 can be properly assembled depending on the shape and size of the animal's head 103.
The feline imaging diagnosis fixing device for veterinarians has the following advantages: it allows the correct positioning of the feline with respect to the axis of the CT scanning machine, obtaining a display of diagnostic images symmetrical to the left and right of the feline, causing no artifacts in the diagnostic images, being lightweight, durable and sterilizable, supporting felines of different sizes, maximizing reliability and safety in use.
